Quote: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.

On all the tape I have seen on him I honestly can only point to about 2 - 3 plays where you actually throws with anticipation. He does usually throw with good ball placement (I think better mechanics will make him even better with ball placement/accuracy)
