Hah! I was all over Mahomes before, during and after we played Texas Tech. But ya didn't have to be a QB expert to see Mahomes could play.

As for strong arms, well, Drew Brees doesn't have, has never had, a strong arm and he does okay in the NFL. As did Bob Griese, Bart Starr, and other great QBs.

Drew Brees doesn't have a strong arm?? Are you serious?

Very serious.

Well, I don’t know what to tell you then. You must not watch or not know what a strong arm looks like. Brees has a canon. Routinely rated as one of the top 5 strongest arms in the league by NFL scouts.

What you said above couldn't be further from the truth. Drew Brees has always had one of the weaker arms in the league. This has been covered for years and even Brees has said he is in the bottom half of the league for arm strength. He is one of the more accurate passers and that is why he has made it.

You are correct. It's obvious from this thread that not everybody follows pro football like we do. Just ignore the fools that don't know what they are talking about.

Here's a very recent article making another reference to Bree's lack of arm strength: (This subject is not new!)

Quote:But Brees’s height and shoulder surgery never mattered, because he is the best pure passer the sport has ever seen. He isn’t very mobile, and his arm has never been the strongest in the league. But he is unflinchingly accurate. -- Quote from Article about Saints QB Drew Brees

I also read he has abnormally large hands for his size. I believe top 3 biggest in the league at his positon. That can help a lot when throwing a football.

Big Hands

Quote:The Strongest Quarterback Arms in the NFL Today
5. Drew Brees – New Orleans Saints
We think there is a showdown a-comin’ and it may pit two legendary quarterbacks together in football cage match for the ages. Before Drew Brees and Tom Brady tangle in a Super Bowl of our dreams, Brees will have to first beat Case Keenum and the Vikings in the divisional playoffs, then the survivor of Atlanta Falcons-Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Conference championship. We think the 38-year-old veteran and his prolific arm are up to the task. Brees added to his growing legend in 2017, finishing fourth in passing yardage with 4,334, while tossing 23 TD strikes with just eight interceptions. The durable veteran led the Saints to a 11-5 record this season and then went out and beat Cam Newton and the Panthers 31-26 in the NFC wild card playoffs. The Panthers shut down the Saints run and Brees met the challenge head on, flinging 33 attempts and completing 23 of them for 376 yards and two touchdowns. He showed off his prodigious arm strength on his team’s first score late in the first. After starting with an incomplete pass and on his own 20, Brees heaved a beautiful spiral down the middle to a streaking Ted Ginn Jr. that hit him near the Panthers 30, with Ginn Jr. running it the rest of the way in. Wow, just wow.

Quote:4. Drew Brees
29 OF 32
The New Orleans Saints' Drew Brees comes in at No. 4 in the power rankings with a very strong arm that sometimes looks bionic because of how many times a game he rips it at great distances.

Brees' career was once in question as his arm was hanging from his shoulder, which also makes his arm strength impressive.

I'm not arguing anything I posted articles saying it...

the argument was that Drew Brees never had a strong throwing arm so it shouldn't have any bearing on Fine earning a job in the NFL.

The articles clearly state Drew Brees arm was one of the strongest in the NFL. So I guess your problem is with your opinion vs the articles....

now which one should you believe?

Good of you to find a article that list the top 10...the two I gave you a link to did that also. Along with the other qbs. The article you linked to did not mention Drew Brees...

so was he 11th of 32nd? huge difference. It must not be "common knowledge" if I can find articles on putting him in the top 5. I'm sure its not as strong as it was when entered the NFL but when you are comparing a kid that might go in the draft....

you dont use a qb that is past his prime to say well he has a weak arm and hes a nfl qb. If Drew Brees had a weak arm he probably would have got drafted

You are the one that cant seem to understand that other dont see Brees as having a weak arm. I gave you links putting him in the top 5. I dont do facebook, I bet you do.

Just because you have a opinion and others on your "sports board" agrees with you...

makes you correct. Why cant you understand that the decline is caused by age and injury? As I said you are comparing a qb at towards the end of his NFL career to someone hoping to get drafted.

If Drew Brees has as weak of a arm you must think he has...does he get drafted? So the article fails to put him in their top 15 so again 16 to 32 is a large range. Do you think every qb after that top 15 has weak trowing arms? Fine a article listing all NFL qbs and one with Brees at the bottom..

other wise that link is meaningless

You’re all exaggerating on Brees.

He does not have one of the strongest or weakest arms. His arm strength is middle of the pack for the NFL...which means his arm is pretty damn strong. It was better earlier in his career but it has never compared to a Stafford, Allen, Maholmes, Wilson, etc. He has decent arm strength with unparalleled accuracy and chemistry with receivers.

Chad Pennington had the weakest arm known to man and was drafted in the 1st round. I am sure our Marshall friends can tell you all about him. He also had a career 66% completion percentage in the NFL. You can make it in this league with a weak arm like Brees and Pennington. Joe Montana would be another with a weak arm. You can probably find an article with Joe and Chad ranked 1 and 2 if you look hard enough. I would take a QB like Brees with weak arm strength, but high completion percentage over a JaMarcus Russell that can throw the ball 87 yards.

Good of you to find a article that list the top 10...the two I gave you a link to did that also. Along with the other qbs. The article you linked to did not mention Drew Brees...

so was he 11th of 32nd? huge difference. It must not be "common knowledge" if I can find articles on putting him in the top 5

Are you messing with me? It had honorable mention right below the top 10. You wouldn't happen to get your primary news from Facebook?

Honorable mention: Derek Carr, Jake Locker, Sam Bradford, Tom Brady

You are the one that cant seem to understand that other dont see Brees as having a weak arm. I gave you links putting him in the top 5. I dont do facebook, I bet you do.

Just because you have a opinion and others on your "sports board" agrees with you...

makes you correct. Why cant you understand that the decline is caused by age and injury? As I said you are comparing a qb at towards the end of his NFL career to someone hoping to get drafted.

If Drew Brees has as weak of a arm you must think he has...does he get drafted? So the article fails to put him in their top 15 so again 16 to 32 is a large range. Do you think every qb after that top 15 has weak trowing arms? Fine a article listing all NFL qbs and one with Brees at the bottom..

other wise that link is meaningless

Chad Pennington had the weakest arm known to man and was drafted in the 1st round. I am sure our Marshall friends can tell you all about him. He also had a career 66% completion percentage in the NFL. You can make it in this league with a weak arm like Brees and Pennington. Joe Montana would be another with a weak arm. You can probably find an article with Joe and Chad ranked 1 and 2 if you look hard enough. I would take a QB like Brees with weak arm strength, but high completion percentage over a JaMarcus Russell that can throw the ball 87 yards.

The time range plays a important role when comparing player entering the NFL 10, 15, 20, 30 years ago.

Players today are just stronger, faster, quicker. I personally like a QB that can hit the target he's trowing at 65% of the time over someone that might hit 10 bombs of 50 yards during a whole season. But in the NFL today...measurements seem to be important

clt says drew Bree’s does great for being 5’9

Yeah, I was going to echo what Southern Miss said. Chad’s arm was slightly above average in the world of 1997-99 1-A football. It was serviceable in the NFL of the same era. Where Pennington was invaluable was between his ears and in his leadership.

clt says brees has peaked.

clt says brees cannot play well outside of his little dome.

Brees is a great QB....getting a little aged now and it shows....but has never had a cannon for an arm. Middle of the pack, at best, and now near the bottom in arm strength. He has always had other attributes that make him a great QB.

Of course, rather have Brees than a loser like Cam Newton. Yo! Cam you can hang on to the broom in your locker for a while longer. Hah!

Saints getting it done AGAIN outside of their "little dome."
