I believe his deepest pass so far is about 55 yards in the air....the one Bateman dropped in the end zone against GSU.

Definitely. I think we’re on to whether our place kicker can hit one from 40+ yards.
I remember a similar debate a few years ago, with Teddy Bridgewater when he was with the Vikings. A lot of people were convinced he couldn’t throw 50 yards. The first time he did that in a game was his 2nd season in a pre-season game. It had a lot of air under it.

Nevermind that, can he throw a tight spiral??
Remember the days when we used to debate how good/bad our QB's spiral-throwing was?
Teddy seems like an alright guy but damn it felt like there was so much love and waiting around for him with the injury and all and I was all .... Guies, Teddy is ok, but he's just ok!
As much as I hate the Saints, I’ve enjoyed watching him succeed over these last 5 games. I’m a fan.

That was because we were all trying to figure out why in an era of explosive passing attacks we consistently looked like we were mystified by the concept of the forward pass and how it could be used in an offense.
So glad those days are gone....just for fun pulled up the 2013 passing stats
2013 - 13 games - 1925 yards - 148.1 yards per game - 12 TD - 7 INT
2019 - 7 games - 1623 yards - 231.9 yards per game - 16 TD - 3 INT

Leidner. The "good old days" when the high water mark for our quarterback was 75 yards passing for 4 quartersNevermind that, can he throw a tight spiral??

With the wind?
Was he using a regulation sized ball or one of those Nerf balls?
I'll take Tanner and his gamer mentality @ any distance. His 1st half @ Rutgers reminded me that I expected his high accuracy rate to always be consistent.
Perhaps for fun we can throw in how much ball inflation Tanner Morgan prefers... ala Tom Brady.
Speaking of silly thoughts: Since we don’t know what’s wrong with Zack...is he our starting QB versus Penn St or will we need to wait until the Northwestern game to see him?
Maybe I’m totally wrong on this, having never compared the two side by side, but I feel like it would be a lot harder to throw a nerf ball 40 yards than a pigskin.
On that note, I’m bringing a football to the tailgate at lot 37 so maybe we can mark off 40 yards and everyone from Gopherhole can try their luck at that distance.
Even when he is off, it is not a total meltdown like what we had vs. Wisconsin in 2016. Not making plays is one thing, basically making plays for the other team is a another level of self-destruction.
College footballs have painted stripes on them whereas NFL footballs do not. The painted stripes impede the pigskin’s ability to spin evenly. Hence you’ll notice NFL quarterbacks have tighter spirals on their passes.
