According to a Jets fan I know, he's only going to be the back-up to McCown this year, but ready to play if Josh gets hurt, and maybe if plays well, they'll think about him going into 2019 and beyond. I also wonder about Teddy's ability to actually move well, or take a hit. I recall them describing the injry and saying it wasn't a normal ACL tear or knee dislocation. It was the type of injury you often see in car accidents, where the knee is completely stretched apart and twisted, and a lot of trama is done to nearly all the ligiments, muscles and other tissue around the knee. Yikes. But this will basically be well over two years away from the sport by the time he gets full contact. That could help, or not.
Luck sure remains a mystery. I have a real feeling that even the Indy staff doesn't know how well he's going to be able to throw until all his injuries have healed, and he starts to really throw with velocity. Like I said before, my fear is he's the next Chad Pennington. He just won't have the arm strength, or motion he once did. We'll see.
Speaking of arm strength, the numbers were released from the combine on velocity. Josh Allen had the strongest arm at a whopping 62mph, and Sam Darnod (probalby pretty strong) didn't throw. Here's the numbers (I didn't list everyone, nor all throws, just highest, or average from what is known).
Josh Allen - Wyoming - 62
Kurt Benkert - Virginia - 56
Lamar Jackson - Louisville - 49
Kyle Lauletta - Richmond - 52
Tanner Lee - Nebraska - 57
Baker Mayfield - Oklahoma - 60
Josh Rosen - UCLA - 58
Mason Rudolph - Oklahoma State - 52
Nic Shimonek - Texas Tech - 55
Mike White - Western Kentucky - 54
One surprise to me was Mayfield. I didn't think he could throw that hard. The real surprise though is Lamar Jackson at only 49mph. Usualy if you're not at 55 or so, you're not going to make it in the NFL. Then again, last year Deshaun Watson only threw 49mph, but by the time he got to the NFL, that looked like an anomaly and he has plenty of arm strength.
Edit - Allen's throws were the fastest recorded I could find. I seem to recall Foxxy saying a few other guys threw at least 60 maybe one at 62. Logan Thomas was the only one I could find at 60. I found an article that said Aaron Rodgers threw the ball at 60mph. I seem to recall an NFL game where they clocked Kaepernick's throw at 60mph. But 62? Jim Druckenmiller maybe? Did they ever clock a young Favre? Elway? Marino? Jeff George? Either way, that's a serious cannon of an arm Josh Allen has.
