I'm sorry, but if I saw this in my house I'd move lol...

😲 *it's fake, don't worry lol...

Just finishing a huge apple fritter (because I'm too lazy to cook right now lol)...

Just got done voting early...👍👍

Whoa...

The 4-game win streak occurred during those last 11 or so games...the passing stats were: 77% completion rate 220 yds per game 7.4 ypa 7 TDs 2 INTs I'll take that over the next 4 weeks until Wentz returns. Doubt it leads to 4 straight wins, but it would be miles better than the passing stats of the last 4 games: 60% completion rate 210 yds per game 5.8 ypa 3 TDs 3 INTs

Follow up lol...

https://www.boston.com/sports/new-england-patriots/2022/01/26/throwing-coach-tom-house-mac-jones-arm-strength-tom-house/ As good as Patriots quarterback Mac Jones’s rookie season was, the way teams preyed on his lack of elite arm strength down the stretch raised alarms for fans and evaluators alike. But while Jones might not ever have that level of raw talent, legendary throwing coach Tom House believes there’s more untapped potential in the Patriots passer’s right arm than many give him credit for. “From what I know about dealing with quarterbacks and pitchers, when they show up, very few of them have maxed out their genetic capacity to throw..." Jones doesn’t have the base athletic ability of Luck, a former No. 1 overall pick regarded as one of the best college quarterback prospects ever, or other elite NFL quarterbacks, which House acknowledged. But that doesn’t mean the soon-to-be-second-year Patriot can’t noticeably beef up his arm by the time the 2022 season starts. “I don’t know the farthest that Mac has ever thrown a football, but I guarantee you we can train him to do it,” House added. “We can repattern and retrain his delivery to handle consistent 60-yard throws if necessary…I could look Coach Belichick in the face and say, ‘If you need him to throw five 60-yarders this game, he can do it for you.'” ******* And before anyone is dumb enough to say it...no, I'm not comparing Heinicke to Mac Jones lol. I'm simply talking about whether or not professionals in the sport believe arm strength can be improved to any noticeable degree.

lol...True, very true...

-If I have to go read your previous 16 posts to understand what you're actually saying in your last post, then no, it's not "semantics". - Coaches don't notice arm strength improvement: Which of course is why QB coaches across the league have been designing exercise regimens to increase arm strength...because they never notice that it ever does any good. I'll say once more lol: I love how fans feel that if they don't easily notice it from their couches then it's an irrelevant "improvement". Coaches, position coaches, strength and conditioning coaches, and QBs themselves swear they can improve their throwing velocity and have been swearing by this for decades...versus mistertim claiming no, they haven't and can't. Ehhhh, I'm gonna go with the coaches and players on this one.

- I'll repeat myself: Maybe the issue is that, as fans. we're defining "increasing arm strength" as Todd Collins suddenly looking like Dan Marino...or even just as "if arm strength is actually increased, it won't be an issue anymore." Probably not the best way to approach it. - Semantics: This tends to be used when someone misstates their opinion and don't like being called on it. -Noticeable improvement in arm strength: I love how fans feel that if they don't easily notice it from their couches then it's an irrelevant "improvement".

Matt Cassel on arm strength: "We did drills with weighted balls and other exercises to speed up our throwing motion and improve fast-twitch muscles. A lot of quarterbacks that I’ve been around more recently, whether it’s Dak Prescott or Matthew Stafford, all have very similar approaches in terms of doing workouts to build arm strength, consistency and durability in the shoulder. Every quarterback, especially early in their career, is looking for anything that can make them better and give them an edge. He'll meet with his position coach after the season, and if he says, "I’d really like to try to work on getting more velocity on throws outside the numbers" or something like that, then they’ll put together a plan in order to do just that." Maybe the issue is that, as fans. we're defining "increasing arm strength" as Todd Collins suddenly looking like Dan Marino...or even just as "if arm strength is actually increased, it won't be an issue anymore." Probably not the best way to approach it. Isn't adding a couple of inches to your vertical leap increasing your vertical leap? lol...

Logan Paulsen mentioned that throwing mechanics can increase the power and velocity of a QB's throws...(it's in the video on the other thread, so I'm going off memory here lol)

In reality this shouldn't even be a contest.

In case it wasn't posted...should be set up to start around the point where they talk about Heinicke...
