For whatever reason I've seen a few folks mentioning Cam Newton's name when talking about RG3, but I don't see why. Cam had a very good arm, a terrific frame with athleticism and a good delivery to work with going into the pros. He also performed at a high level against better competition week-in, week-out in the SEC throughout his career.

I could go through a list longer than Schindler's of great college QBs with gaudy numbers who's game didn't translate to the NFL.
I think arm strength is over rated.

If you're a good QB, you're a good QB.

I think Moore has enough of an arm to get it done. That play to Titus last year before the missed FG at the end of the game was like 60 through the air.
