I’ve never seen Blake just launch a ball 60 yards down field.

Pretty much anyone who has ever been paid to evaluate QB's.  And I'm not sure bringing up Blake as an example of a guy who doesn't have a strong arm would bolster one's argument. 

Didn't we have a similar debate in another thread?  Arm strength is one of many desirable attributes in a QB.  Not many QBs have all the desirable attributes you want.  And the weaker you are in one, the stronger you have to be in others to make up for it.  Being able to throw a ball 100 yards doesnt matter at all if you cant hit the broad side of the barn.  Being the most pin point accurate thrower doesnt matter at all if you cant throw it 20 yards.  Kessler isnt a big guy, isnt overally mobile, and doesnt have a strong arm.  If the guy wasn't accurate he wouldnt have a prayer of being in the league, even as a backup.  But maybe the guy has Drew Brees like accuracy and ability to read defenses which will allow him to make up for other areas where he lacks.  I guess we'll find out the rest of this year if he has it or not.

People who are sick of Blake or just flat out don't like him should be wary of going too far and hitching their wagon to Kessler.
