And you have to be some kind of dumbass to think that Sam Bradford's arm is in the same league as Gabbert's.

Actually just getting a feel for your barometer of arm strength. I keep hearing a lot of guys on here knock on my boy Stanzi for his arm strength. I don't see it. The only route he has trouble throwing is the same one Gabbert has trouble with, and thats the seam pattern. IMO it's more of a combo of strength, and touch than anything and shouldn't be a barometer of arm strength.
Outside of that, I like a guy with a good mix of arm strength and accuracy more than anything. Newton can throw it a mile, but he won't be as accurate as you are looking for, at least not until his dropback becomes second nature.
I think Stanzi can throw the ball on a rope, and was more consistently accurate than most of the QB's in his group yesterday, save Mallet. I don't understand why people don't want to see that?
