It's not being negative to point out that he has a weak arm. It's uplifting because it shows how he's managed to be successful in spite of his disability.

We have seen some balls die on him these last few games and we haven't really seen him attempt many difficult throws that would require him to throw with higher velocity.

As to the former, that's simply untrue.

As to the latter: Proof? Cite? Video? TIA.

He's probably talking about the long TD to Aiyuk against TB where there was pressure in Brocks face and he took a hit as he was throwing it, and Aiyuk had to wait for the ball. So something that would happen to any other qb in the same situation.

That's actually not one of the throws I was talking about. They were against Seattle and Washington in the first half.

Oh, so you are going to judge his arm strength based on games he played in with a partial tear of his oblique? Do you understand throwing mechanics at all?

I'm going to judge him by what he does. It's not like there was a significant or noticeable drop in his arm strength in those two games either. He wasn't firing rockets against Miami and TB. His worst throw might have been the one against Miami where he tried to hit Deebo in the endzone.

He has a weak arm. That's ok. Many successful QBs have overcome that. Tua has one. Old Drew Brees had one. We don't need to pretend that he's perfect to acknowledge that he's played really well.

He was late on that throw to Deebo more than anything else.

And he could have gotten away with it with a stronger arm.

I'd rather a QB be on time than have a stronger arm to try and make up for it. Processing >>>> arm strength.

Joe is a great example of that.

So is Brady and Manning.

Brady and Manning both had cannons.

Uhh no

Brady's arm strength was better than Manning's. Payton's arm wasn't special at all, but yeah neither were known for elite arm strength.

Nah and he threw wobblers

I think their arms got stronger later in their careers but their arms were not elite coming into the league. Anyone saying otherwise should checkout their draft scouting reports.

As long as a QB can throw the ball at least 54 mph, they can have long term success in the NFL. Its much more important to be able to process the field quickly than it is to be able to throw the ball 60+ mph.

In Brady's case I definitely think that's true. Manning was pretty consistent until the neck injury.

Maybe, not elite, but they both had good arms - I agree.

When you say cannon, I am thinking 60+ mph.
