But on very rare occasions you'll see him really drive with his legs and throw a freakin' laser. He has the ability to do it, he just rarely does it with any regularity.

If Andy Reid can get his feet working right, he's going to really improve his velocity on the 10-15 yard throws and suddenly he really will become an outstanding starter for the Chiefs.
