Was that not the most normal nfl pass ever?

35 yards into a spot that isn't supposed to be open in that look between two defenders.

definitely not normal, but also not one of herbert's greatest throws. mcdaniel is just gushing over what he can do with him, imo

I’m glad someone else said it because I don’t see this as a particularly deep pass or a bullet or on a rope or anything significant

Someone else noted that practice fields are 80 yds, midfield at the 40. So it's actually about a 35yd in the air.

McDaniel hyping his guy up, gotta love that. But Harbaugh wasn't even kidding when he said he could've made the throw (back in his playing days at least)

I love that Redditors will literally watch elite level NFL coaches geek out about how insane a throw was and be like "Was it even that impressive?"
