Like, it's fair to say he'd beat a Damon Huard type guy (does the NFL have anybody like that right now?) but could he top out the starters with below average arm strength?
Mariota. Do you think he could beat Mariota? What about somebody who was average and now has a bit less zip on the ball due to age like Brady?
More importantly, for QBs like Drew Lock, do we count their wildly inaccurate arms against their total distance score if they couldn't pinpoint the general direction of throwing down the field? Like, if he fires a pass and it takes a wild path in the air before landing 10 yards behind him, is that a negative distance score?

NFL Network had some reporter on yesterday who was saying that Tom Brady throws at higher speeds than Patrick Mahomes II.
Right now. The reporter was saying that in 2019 Tom Brady has more zip on the ball than Patrick Mahomes II.
This would be a fun contest to watch. NFL-wide, I mean. Not Brady versus Patrick Mahomes II, because that would be a non-event.
