A few J-D alums relayed a story about Adonis Kinsey who went to Cuse. He claimed during workouts McNabb threw the ball so hard he dropped it cause it hurt. McNabb had some choice words for him. His career didn't work out...

Tommy could be #1 but I need to see more in game action.

Midei Williams

In practice.

Tommy could be #1 but I need to see more on game action.

I agree! Lets see what he does on the field before we rank TD.

 

[DNABB5]

I don't know that Tommy can fire a rope 50 yards down the middle of the field on the run after avoiding a sack like McNabb did

 

[NJCuse97]

For arm talent, Kevin Mason. Threw a good long ball. Great arm strength. Raiders drafted him on arm potential alone.

 

[All4SU]

1. RJ Anderson - No one could throw a three-yard slant pattern harder.

 

[RICuse44]

1. RJ Anderson - No one could throw a three-yard slant pattern harder.

I don’t know. Nassib was pretty good at rocketing a swing pass

 

[Trueblue25]

1. RJ Anderson - No one could throw a three-yard slant pattern harder.

Nassib

 

[Crusty]

McNabb was the best so far but TD may prove to be his equal.
I love Nassib but he just couldn't throw a long ball with any accuracy.

 

[OrangeDW]

1. RJ Anderson - No one could throw a three-yard slant pattern harder.

Perry Patterson tried.

Ummmmm look at Tommy’s hs film Jr year
174 lbs in the state championship fires a rope
55 yards into the endzone with no hitch
Not many on the planet can do that
And that was 4,years and 35 lbs ago
Film doesn’t lie

No disrespect to Tommy but I will not be ranking him before he completes a full season as a starter.

 

[TexanMark]

No disrespect to Tommy but I will not be ranking him before he completes a full season as a starter.

The parameters Jake set takes his lack of game experience into account.

TD throws the smoothest pass I've seen in Orange. This year we can evaluate his other football qualities

 

[All4SU]

Perry Patterson tried.

Yup, I think it was Perry I was thinking of.

 

[GoSU96]

No disrespect to Tommy but I will not be ranking him before he completes a full season as a starter.

I've seen everyone listed, watched many of them in practice as well as games, Devito by far is the best pure passer this program has ever had.
