    I agree with you. He doesn't have a rocket arm like Cam, Stafford, Rodgers but I'll take the accuracy, intelligence and athleticism. Brady wasn't known for the deep ball either in his early years but he has improved it over the years.

    You do know that arm strength isn't directly related to weight lifting strength right? It's more about flexibility and proper use of your whole body.

    Just because you can bench/curl a lot doesn't mean you can throw far.

    You're talking about throwing, but if he could curl more he wouldn't lose as many balls to fumbles would he..?

    More to being able to throw far/hard than that, you can use your hips or legs to add extra force to a throw

    Well that's not necessarily true either because a lot of factors play into that. He can just try keeping 2 hands on the football until he is ready to throw for starters.

    I feel like he tries to place the ball all the time. His body never seems in the right position to launch the ball downfield. If his arm was really weak wouldn't they have been saying it prior to last years draft?

    Its not really weak, it's just not so great he can fit balls into windows like Winston, and Rodgers can.

    Certainly more than enough tho

    That's true too

    Mariota has sloppy mechanics at times, but makes it work.

    He really just needs to fix the fumbles and knowing when to leave the pocket and save the play

    His lack of super arm strength isn't a big deal

    I don't feel like I've really seen him dig in and really try to spin a ball. I'm not convinced that he can't.

    Hand strength would help with the fumbles, but awareness would help more.

    ...and Olivia Munn isn't Asian. She's from, like, Oklahoma.

    It's not just a lack of super arm strength, his throws don't have enough velocity to work a simple 10 yard out to an outside WR without a CB being able to jump it easy. I think that was a far bigger issue for our offense than most realize, he needs to get better about that or he'll never get much better than he is now imo
