Yeah, one thing Elway lacked was arm strength to overcome that factor.
Same goes for Aaron Rogers.
Or Brett Favre.
Or Matt Stafford.
Funny that those are the only examples people have brought up in this topic...all of them had full blown howlitzers.
Look, I dont know how many times I have to say this...Im not saying it could totally ruin his chances at being successful in the midwest, Im just saying that its one of the factors that will likely be looked into if he is to be drafted in the top 5 by a team in the states where weather is a big factor.
