This is true. However, he has not thrown a really good, tight pass longer than 20 yards, yet. He has throw (IIRC) 3 passes in the 30-35 yard range and all three were either short or wobbly. It wouldn't be a concern for me if it had been one or two passes with several nice ones mixed in. But every single long pass he has thrown has been off.

He's done it regularly in his highlights so it's not as if he doesn't have the ability to do it.
I think you guys are missing my points. We all know he is capable of doing it. The point is...why isn't he doing it? Is there something wrong with his arm?
I am getting almost as frustrated with you guys as you are with me. I know he can do it. But every long pass is off. My point is not to say he can't throw the long passes and he was scouted wrong. My point is....is something wrong with his arm?

I think it boils down to this: he's a true freshman who just started his first game. He looked sloppy on some plays and looked good on others, but he was more effective at moving the ball than Lambert. You don't disagree that he's got what it takes, so the obvious answer to why he hasn't looked like the god-man people are expecting is that he's still learning. It's been two games and he's already shown improvement. There's no cause for concern about him at this point.
