Dude can definitely throw.
Accuracy is another thing, but saying his arm doesn't look strong?....
And his accuracy has improved all 3 years. This year he was around 63% and over 4000 yards. You like to see year over year improvement.
It has and thats good but he is talking ball placement. He does good some but it is poor most of the time. I will say he lands a dime more than love does. Idk what anyone sees in that dude.
Unlike Jake Locker taken #8, who was already known to have accuracy issues, I'm cool with taking a risk with a guy at #224 (even though many thought it a reach).
Far from a perfect science, I think completion % is as good as it gets in predicting how accurate he'll be in the NFL. He improved his completion percentage from 58.9 to 63.8 from his soph to junior seasons (Locker was 55.4 his senior season though in a superior conference). But I'd like to see stats which show the avg. depth of the receiver per completion. If anyone knows of a site for that, please let me know.
I think Hawaii runs the Run-and-Shoot which probably means a ton of slants but we do know he had 2nd-highest throw velocity at the Combine.
He won't be competing to be the #2 anytime soon. I expect he'll be on the practice squad if he can grasp the playbook and shows promise. I still think it's very possible the Titans don't have their #2 QB on the roster yet.

Why wouldn’t you agree with me? DW I get, but me? C’mon man.
My feelings exactly. I think Woodside and McDonald will battle for #3 on the expanded roster. Number 2 isn’t on the roster yet.
You have said some dumb crap this off-season. You are not on his level, It was a compounded deal.
Every body on this board has said some dumb crap this off season. And every off season. In fact, every season. It’s what gives the place its charm.
Maybe it's all in his footwork and base - hopefully O'hara can fix it.
The rip and dip style of throw seems to be what puts power into his throw.
I don't remember the last time we had four qbs at training camp......
Mariota, Mettenberger, Tanney
Mariota, Cassel, Tanney
Mariota, Gabbert, Falk (signing Woodside after Falk waivers)
Mariota, Tannehill, Woodside
Tannehill, ----------, McDonald, Woodside?
I just don't see the trend changing much.
You have a irrational fear of being right or something?
I'm like the safest bet here. haha
Don't know who chronos is to judge that one though.
I use a magic 8 ball for those type of things.
Your are the safest bet around here and that is not a compliment.
I think the staff liked the dreads. It takes some cojones to pull that off.
Jordan Love was drafted in the 1st, and this guy had 14 more TDs, 3 fewer INTs, is the same size and had a faster 40 time. In the same conference.
Hawaii hasn't had a winning record since 2010, while they were still in the WAC. They were 21-55 while part of the MWC before McDonald was the QB. They just had two winning seasons with him as a starter, including a 10 win season last year. He's a 7th rounder and a long shot, but he could also easily be more talented than we realize

I'd bet my life Jordan Love throws more TDs this season than Cole McDonald throws in his entire NFL career.
Buffalo bills drafted Allen and Fromm both long shots....Titans drafted Cole McDonald. Whats the difference? I would rather risk a 7th round pic on a long shot.
Finally got around to watching this guys last 2 games in college, some good and some bad.
The bad: that 4.58 rarely showed up. When trouble comes his way he was a sitting duck. He also likes to throw into coverage often.
He seems to understand situational football, but he also scrambles for 1st downs and comes up short. Id like to see him throw for 1st downs, which he does, but when he doesnt throw he goes down short of the needed yards.
The good: big time arm. Throws guys open usually, which paired with our players could be fun to watch.
As for not playing under Center, it may affect his timing some but its a pretty easy thing to learn. And with the ability to use RPO's he can keep teams honest.
Verdict: lets hope he doesnt have to play this yr. But if he does we have Henry at least.

He over threw a wr bad in combine in under center.
Mary had similar struggles and made out fine playing under Center, imo its an easy fix
Mahomes too iirc
We do a lot of 3 step drops so that may be this guys biggest challenge. Going from a shotgun style where the QB ends up deeper than what we ask of a QB.
The important part is this dude has stuff you cant coach.
