Big arm is one of those "nice to have" QB things, I'll take it, but I don't think it has much to do with QB success overall and I think it takes an OL to even allow for those opportunities.

And someone who can catch the high velocity ball. There were many cases in the AK season where he put a lot of mustard on short throws and zipped it right through the hands of a receiver.

Big arm is no good if you don't put the ball in the right place at the right time. That's where the between the ears part of QB makes a bigger difference. You can be Joe Milton who could probably throw a ball through a brick wall at 50 yards but coudn't hit the broadside of a barn in stride or you could be Drew Brees and have kinda noodle arm but put the ball on the money every time. Every NFL coach takes the noodle arm if given the choice between these two types of player.
 

Attached is clip from the athletic dept about the first week of practice. Please help me understand coaching in the 2020's a little better. The coaches are constantly speaking into cell phones or walkie talkies. Who are they talking to? My guess is other coaches. But it could also be to players who have receivers in their helmets, or are they just recording their thoughts for later? All of the above, none of the above or someone else? https://gophersports.com/news/2025/...98&pid=minnesota_email_eloqua_eloqua&rid=6768

You may remember Bobby Douglass of the Bears. He regularly registered mach 2 while throwing a screen pass. The man could carry the rock though 😂
 



Rule #3 at the Jeff Tricky quarterback school: throw the pass TO the receiver, not THROUH him. (If you don’t know who Jeff Tricky is, just goggle him ).

I'm going to remember the ones that were easy touch passes ... inexplicably just out of reach.

Specifically one of them.
