Arm talent

[NoLuv4Jerry]

I don't want to make this a "I told you so thread" about anybody else

Rather...I would like to celebrate the "ARM TALENT" that Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow and Matt Stafford have. In particular Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes. If you are going to put it on your QBs back...that is the kind of arm talent that is required

dak definitely doesn't have that "flick" to his game, he has to put his whole body into it if he wants to throw it hard

Allen and Mahomes showed what elite QB play looks like tonight.

You probably need IQ talent as well.

Those 40M QBs are worth every penny spent.

Jamarcus Russell is proof of this. He had a nuclear arm but a squib head

Some people will still want you to define elite. They'll say they couldn't see much difference to their favorite QB.

For my money we just watched the two best QBs in the NFL tonight.

Brady is beginning to fade and Rodgers just cannot get it done when it really matters. Burrows MIGHT be right there with them; but need to see more of him. Though gritting it through 9 sacks to win is a rather impressive feat.

The true Elite get it done in the playoffs and the SB.

All top 10 draft picks. Dallas hasn't used a first round pick on a QB since 1989.........and that guy worked out pretty good.

 

[atlantacowboy]

Those 40M QBs are worth every penny spent.

Only Mahomes and Allen make more than Dak.

So Dak is right there among the leagues elite at least in regard to salary......... he owes Jerry big time.

Arm talent is great but like other have said, accuracy and football intelligence is better to have. Kyle Boller is a perfect example. He could throw the ball 70 yards in the air on his knees but could not read defenses. Peyton Manning even said that he doesn't think that he ever threw the ball more than 40 yards but what is important is accuracy and reading defenses.

Pftt..

There's a QB in the NFL that makes 40M a year and he doesn't have a cannon, isn't accurate, and he can't read defenses...

All those things are overrated..

What you really need is a mouth piece and a good PR team in order to be a "good" QB nowadays

Sarcasm I detect, lol.

Yep. If it was all arm talent Jarmarcus Russell would be in the hall of fame.

Gee, I thought Brady and Rodgers were elite.

Guess not, since their teams lost.

The "elite" quarterback that can win regardless of the talent around them and the coaching does not, has not, and will never exist...

accuracy is a part of arm talent
