Quote:I guess we can argue semantics on the arm. But regardless if you describe it as average, he has sufficient arm to make all the throws that you need in the NFL. So it's not really a knock. Ideally you'd want a cannon like Vick or Stafford, but guys like Brady, Manning, even Rodgers (coming into the NFL) didn't have those either.

 

You just gotta be able to make all the throws.

 

And unfortunately for him, he wasn't able to even showcase that he can make SOME of the throws without any defenders this offseason.  And his glove/no glove issue was another thing that bothered me.  If you can't throw without gloves, fine... but then why train without them "because it was warm in Miami" and why not wear them for your pro day?  Do I want a QB saying "well, next week we play the Dolphins... I guess I'll just leave my gloves at home"....  it's just an unnecessary extra variable that is so fundamental for a QB (his ability to just throw) that IMO is a question mark.  

 

 

You gotta have something to separate yourself from the others.
