Steve Kerr: Steph Curry and Klay Thompson have “absolute canons” at quarterback

Steve Kerr has high praise for Steph Curry and Klay Thompson as quarterbacks.

Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson’s shooting skill is popularly known around the association.

A blend of unlimited range, picturesque form and a bulk of record-breaking performances has cemented the Splash Brothers place in NBA shooting lore.

Could Curry and Thompson’s talent from beyond the arc translate to the gridiron? Steve Kerr had high praise for the Golden State backcourt after seeing them air out the football in a Warriors practice from the past.

On his “Flying Coach” podcast with Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll, Kerr shared a story about the time the Golden State squad brought a football into their practice.

I remember a few years ago, we had a practice during Super Bowl week, and I think our guys were tired and instead of having a normal practice we ended up throwing the football around having some competition where guys had to partner with one player and do patterns and run through our facility, and complete passes to different spots. And I always kind of knew, Steph [Curry] and Klay [Thompson] were great athletes, but to watch them throw the football was incredible. They both have absolute cannons. And then the other guy who can throw a football about 75 yards is a guy named Mo Speights — Marresse Speights. Here’s the thing that ties it all together; they were our three best shooters, too.

After hearing Kerr’s claims, if things don’t work out for Jimmy Garoppolo and the San Francisco 49ers, the Warriors’ Bay Area neighbor could tap Curry or Thompson for some snaps under center.
