A bitter Bruce would love to hear if McCarthy has vastly improved his ability to throw

different speeds and layering.

I was stunned to see how much the drop percentages went up with McCarthy at quarterback.

And that was a main reason.

I also think that, you know, rhythm is such a big thing in all sports.

I was talking about tennis and golf.

I mean, any of you who are decent golfers, you understand this.

I mean, if you get in a rhythm, you can start reeling off pars one after the next. But if you hit one in the woods

and then one 350 and then, you know, hit the top of the ball and roll it along the fairway and then

chip it right on to the green, you have no idea what's coming next. And I think that's a hard place

to be in all sports. If you play

basketball with someone and they're a point guard and one pass to you in the corner is way up

over your head and one is way down at your feet and then one is right on that or it's thrown

a thousand miles an hour, it's harder to catch and shoot that, right? Even if you're a great

shooter. So I think that it wasn't just

that he threw it too hard. I think it was the erratic nature of it just in general. The timing

wasn't quite right. The location wasn't all that great. The velocity was then coming in at

100 miles an hour every time. It is something Jefferson talked about working on McCarthy with.

I think so much of that is timing.

I think that most of these plays are timed out to the number of drop, hitch, throw.

And if you do it with the right timing, you shouldn't have to rip it.
