Agree with GMScud. I remember JC over-throwing some deep balls or being too far inside/outside, but don't remember any under-thrown passes.

He overthrew mid-range balls but almost never deep ones. Its seems like every bomb to Moss, Moss has to slow down, turn around and sort of wait for the ball to get there. I kept thinking that they needed to adjust the WR routes to not out-run JC's arm.

I remember quite a few deep ball overthrows too. I remember thinking "Damn, he out threw Santana at a full sprint". Unlike GTripp, I do not have a photographic memory. I do distinctly remember having the thought though. Also, I have seen quotes from at least two offensive guys indicating JC's arm strength. One was along the lines of "With JC's arm, we ought to throwing it deep 3 or 4 times a game". That one I think was R. Thomas but not sure. The other was a simple "We (the WR's) aren't going to outrun JC's arm". I am pretty sure that one was ARE.

Quite frankly, other than by you, I have never seen it suggested that JC's arm was anything other than very powerful.
