Quote:Yeah and I watched him the last few seasons too. I don't think he has a wet noodle for an arm cause sometimes he shows great zip on the ball but other times he under-throws terribly. He completes a beautiful pass up the seam then throws it clear over the WR head on a short slant route. Sometimes he looks like a #1 overall pick to me, sometimes he looks like a 3rd round project.  He's a tough one to grade. 

 

He's got plenty of arm to make the throws, even if he has some accuracy issues. The reason I asked if you watched him throw at the combine is to add some context.

 

He wasn't gunning it. In fact, if you compare it to say...Blake. Blake might throw a "harder" ball, but Watson was throwing it effortlessly. I don't want to say "going through the motions" because that wouldn't be fair and i'm sure he wasn't just doing that. I'm sure if these QBs knew they were going to "clock" their arm, they all would have put more zip on it. 

 

I don't think that was the focus of the drills, and it certainly didn't look that way for Watson.

 

He doesn't have the strongest arm, but he doesn't have a BB gun either. His arm is fine.
