How about the Matty Ice I video?

Yes, indeed, that is a zipped ball. Thrown at the 14, caught at the 41...

Range 27 yards.

Sorry. I was wrong. I said Matt had 25 yards of zip. He actually has 27. Please forgive me.

This throw travels 42 yards (more if you account for the angle) and takes about 2.3 seconds (I noted the time in virtualdubmod from the frame of his release to the frame of the ball hitting the hands) to get there. Weak arm? Really?

Same crap that was said about Brady. Weak arm. Can't throw it deep. In the meantime. Zip zip zip. Ball always got there
His arm is good enough. He's got the other intangibles that are more important.

Want arm strength. Get Jeff George.

In the Miami game he has a 32 yard rope in the 2nd half. The clip is up at nfl.com if you care to post it.

but it left the screen so it was a floater

#1 overwhelming need huh?


So the Chiefs D-line set an NFL record for least sacks in a season... I'm not sure it's so obvious as all of that.
Hrmmmm..... :hmmm:

D-line? Huh-uh.

The entire DEFENSE set the record for least amount of sacks in a single season at 10.

Personally, I don't see many more in store for the 2009 season. Who's going to get to the QB? Vrabel? Hali? Ha!

I'm actually extremely excited that the Chiefs moved back to the 3-4 defense but I think it's going to take at least one more offseason before we see any significant results in regards to sacks.

What is great about that one is that, once again, the ball is thrown so high it is out of the picture. Have another angle of that?

Good example. Byron Leftwich is another. Leftwich can throw a flat 50 yard lazer. That doesn't make him a good QB.

Arm strength is, however, an important part of the arsenal. Without it, the offense is "limited" by it.

[quote=TFG;6009817]It takes 2.3 seconds to get there.

Any faster and you're talking about Jeff George level arm strength.

The throw pretty much shows that Cassel has above-average arm strength. In no way does he have a weak arm.

Granted, the Chiefs had a pretty long list of "needs" this offseason. Jason Babin has looked really good for the Eagles. Wasn't he playing pretty well at the end of last year?

Even before a pass rush, a defense must STOP THE RUN, not give up 80 yarders to LenDale White. The Chiefs urgently need someone TOUGH in the middle of the DL. That dumb team in Foxboro got the one and only one player in the Draft to fit that description... Ron Brace of BC.

While the top of the Draft is well "covered," there were a lot of players in this Draft I really liked as "late/undrafted," and Darryl Harris was at the top of that list. Others:

6th Round

Brice McCain CB Utah (knock on him - no stats - wait, did they even throw at him??)
Myron Pryor DT Kentucky (First Round caliber athlete with injury and 'tude questions)
Stephen Hodge LB TCU (has knee probs right now, kid is a real force when healthy)


Undrafted

Edwin Williams C Maryland (my "best C in Draft" over Mack and the rest, flawless snapping motion, power, anchor, more athletic than given credit for, smart durable high character = PRAY the Skins cut this kid and the Chiefs grab him - a "reverse Lilja")
Reshard Langford S Vanderbilt (ran poorly on Pro Day, really a top player in all aspects)
Woodny Turenne CB Louisville (impressive before broken clavicle, ran sub 4.5 a few months after the injury, great player with ball skills and hips)
Lucas Taylor WR Tennessee (already waived/IR for Denver, was a Second Round grade in 2007 before injuries - real speed and hands)
Jacob Lacey CB Oklahoma State (world class man cover guy, skinny, not yet a good tackler)

[QUOTE=GoChiefs;6009853]
So it was faster than a punt = that's your claim?

Sorry, but I'd like to SEE IT before taking your word on the scale of seconds/yards...

[quote=TFG;6009878]Count it off yourself. 2.3 seconds.

The trajectory of the ball is irrelevant.

[QUOTE=GoChiefs;6009917]

How can the trajectory of the ball be irrelevant if the question is specifically about trajectory - zipped or floated??? :rolleyes:
