Ok after reading your comments a little more closely, I don't think we're that far off and that we're just looking at things a little differently.

You argue that having the arm strength to make "all the throws" is extremely important.

I obviously agree with that.

Where I think we're seeing things differently is that I think the college game sort of weeds out the guys who can't make those throws for the NFL scouts.

If you look at the top 15-20 NFL QB prospects in the draft, all of them pretty much have that ability to make the throws so it comes down to the other attributes.

I think that once a QB has a certain level of arm strength, anything past that is where it starts to get overrated. I mean you don't need to have John Elway's arm to be an all-pro QB.
