The ABSOLUTE best display of QB accuracy I have ever seen in my life

PrintNormally, this would be fanshot material... but I was so amazed by the accuracy in the arm of this kid, I had to make it a Fanpost to make sure everyone sees this video.
This is Uconn 3rd string QB Johnny McEntee doing some amazing "trick shots" with his arm. Some of the throws he makes are just incredible, and he clearly has some strength in that arm given the distances. I don't understand why he isn't on the field for Uconn, although I'm sure it is possible all this talent doesn't necessarily transfer to good on-field play.

Pretty amazing, right?
Editor's note: This really is a pretty amazing video. It's a curiosity like an amazing street baller dunking, doesn't necessarily transfer... but there's no reason not to be impressed with the display of accuracy. I deleted some posts to clean up the sidebars. Thanks for posting everyone!

Holy Crap
Either accuracy is the only thing he’s got, or UCONN’s coach is a moron. Otherwise, I can’t fathom why he’s the 3rd string QB. This video is awesome.

I want to know if can make the reads
If he knows the playbook. If he isn’t dumb. Or he may just suck under pressure.

OK that made me laugh

Uncanny!
His accuracy is literally flawless, so there must be some polarizing aspect of his game that drags his overall value down. If I had to wager a guess, I’d say that he crumbles beneath even the slightest amount of pressure, even if it is only perceived (i.e. when a defense shows a heavy blitz).
I’d love to see him in actual game footage, but the only thing I can find is this same trick shot video.

Never played in college.
Unranked recruit out of high school.
This might be the highlife of his college football career.

Wow ... my guess is he is more like the Blue Mountain State QB.
ABC baby ... any body but Clausen
While I LOVE the video...
I think you’ve got to remember that this is a edited video. Just like all trick shot videos, the trick shot is probably 1 of hundreds or thousands of attempts. This entire video probably took Johnny Mac a month to do. The last Basketball shot from the 2nd level alone probably would have taken days to capture. Nonetheless, it’s pretty amazing. Too bad he doesn’t have a complete game, being that he’s a third stringer!
Yeah absolutely.
We are definitely seeing some edited footage in a lot of cases. But the fact it is even possible for him is impressive.

True. It is still amazing though. I could never come that close to any of those shots. Edited or not, it is hella impressive.

THink this guy is gonna be an awesome halftime show
But looks like he’s a guy who can throw a football, not a QB.

This made me think of the scene in the movie Glory
Where the one guy is a good shot and then the colonel starts shooting while he tries more marksmanship. The guy fails utterly. Purely speculation, but perhaps he’s not as good under duress.
Great video though!

And all the haters say "Hey! I could do that! >:O"
Holy crap dude. He’s got himself an accurate arm. Chad Pennington just wet himself.

Crazy.
Aside from the already pointed out bits about facing pressure and edited footage, he doesn’t look that strong physically. His legs are a little stickly, and I didn’t notice much musculature.

He’s throwing to the rules and regulations XD

Calm down folks
good chance this is isn’t real. Remember those Reebok NFL videos, I’m afraid this is the same concept
Who gives a shit if it's real?
It’s not like we’re saying “OMFG….WE MUST DRAFTZ THIS PLAYER NOWZ….HE IZ THE BOMBZ!”
It doesn’t matter if it’s real or fake, it’s still cool either way.

you know what fella, you just kinda hunt me around this place don’t you? It’s obvious it was posted as something that someone thought was real, and no one said a damn thing about it being about drafting him. go get laid or something, there are better things to do than just seeking out all my posts to dispute.
No, I don’t hunt you down to dispute all your posts. And, I don’t need to get laid. I have a lifetime supply from my wife at home. But, thanks for your concern.

And you may get away from trumpeting your know it all above some of the more naive members of CSR. However, I regret to inform you that I’m not your average member. THIS was your post….Holy Crap
Either accuracy is the only thing he’s got, or UCONN’s coach is a moron. Otherwise, I can’t fathom why he’s the 3rd string QB. This video is awesome.
The tape don’t lie kid. you thought it was real.
Where did I say that I didn't think it was real?
Oh that’s right, no where. I simply said it doesn’t matter if it’s real or not, that it’s a cool video regardless. Reading comprehension is fun, you should try it sometime.

Reading comprehension is the first stage of reading. the second stage is reading into things. any plebeian can clearly see there was nothing I said that was deserving of your overly callous response. Perhaps you speak with that lingo, but i and most mature men don’t. clearly you have made a judgement of who you think I am, and you refuse to admit it.
The video is fake, the point of the video wasn’t that it was "cool but that it was a showing of “accuracy”. You clearly missed that part professor bwsmith25. Then to compound matters, you take the extra step to suggest perhaps he should be starting, which means you see an importance in what you’ve gathered in the video. That is what I’m disputing. his accuracy is likely NO WHERE near this, but if people are to believe you, a video like this shows accuracy and proficiency, which is far from the truth.
Who pissed in your wheaties today?

Obviously you don’t know me very well, because I think I’ve made it clear with my comments and articles on this site that I don’t use terms such as “OMGZ, LOLZ, etc.” in my daily lexicon unless I’m using them in a direct quote or in a sarcastic manner.
Also, you should probably fix your sarcasm detector. My “overly callous” remark was actually tongue in cheek, but apparently that was lost in translation. For that, I apologize. I should have been more clear with a “/sarcasm” at the end of it. I sincerely wasn’t hunting you down just to disagree with you. With all due respect, you’re simply not worth my time for me to do that to you. And, FWIW, I’ve not made any judgments of you.
Re: my comments on him being a starter, I said that apparently the only skill he possesses is accuracy, or his coach is a moron for keeping him at 3rd string. Clearly, if he is truly that accurate, then he isn’t good at anything else that is required to play the QB position, or he would have been the starter at UCONN because if he has a scintilla of pocket awareness or mobility then there’s no reason he wouldn’t be the starter. Apparently, he’s just a kid with a weird ability to throw a football into a trash can from 30 yards away, and he’s not really an athlete or a quarterback.
And, how do you know the video is fake? The kid really could have those amazing skills of accuracy. Obviously he didn’t get all of them on the first try, but I do believe (until it’s proven otherwise) that the video is real.
I really don’t see why you’re making such a huge deal out of this, but to each his own.
And finally, one last thing: professor bwsmith25…that’s cute, I think I’ll use that in the future.

Yeah, it's probably more video tricks than trick throws.
Even if it is real, I’ve made a ton of trick basketball shots in my day, but it may have taken me a hundred times to do it. Third string quarterbacks obviously have too much time on their hands. I guess the dude has given up trying to improve his knowledge of the play book and opposing defenses, and is now training for his degree in film and/or computers. I will say, though, it’s a fun video for entertainment purposes; nicely edited.

lol...I was wondering exactly what the hell that was supposed to be.
A senior citizen, uncoordinated version of The Twist? If he never gets any playing time, the main upside will be that he never unleashes that celebration at any point in a game.
