Quote:Totally agree. And even if he got injured, he has shown numerous times he can play through injury.

 

My concerns have always been about lack of arm talent with him. And after continually going over the tape I have come to the realization that he doesn't lack arm strength...he lacks consistency with his mechanics.

 

If he is able to sit at least a year I think he could develop into a very special player in the NFL.

 

He lacks plus arm strength. Hes not gonna make on the rope throws without having his feet set. Look at the upper tier of QBs in the NFL. Not all of them have cannons for arms. Many make up for that by being very good pre snap and having great anticipation. For me, Teddy has those two things which make up for his arm.

 

Id even argue that SOME qbs (maybe even a majority?) with a cannon arm gives them overconfidence and it leads to bad decisions. Not saying that having a huge arm is bad, but the decision making of those QBs could be classified as poor at times. Flacco, Stafford, Cutler, EJ Manuel, Fitzpatrick, all make bonehead decisions frequently because they think their arm can make up for it.
