Quote:Accuracy goes hand in hand with arm strength. What's the point of hitting a receiver if you can't throw the ball downfield? That's kind of a dumb question because all passes are thrown downfield to some degree, so the point is vital! I can hit a target 30 yards downfield, but I can't zip the ball to that target before the window closes. That is why you need arm strength.

I thought that they considered Velocity the zip part to get the ball in the window before it closes, and the arm strength strictly just the ability to throw the ball down the field. I remember watching the scouting combine stuff when flacco was coming out and they measured arm strength by just having them line up and throw the ball as far down the field as they could, and the velocity, or ability to get it in small windows using a different drill.
