Cassel doesn't have terrible arm strength...he just has no semblance of touch, accuracy, or trajectory when throwing deep.

He's either rearing back and chucking it 5 yards past the WR, or lobbing a fly ball. I don't get it.

Those two. Right there.

Yep. And if there isn't significant improvement with the deep ball this offseason going into next year, then I think the QB position should be a priority.

I honestly don't know what can make a QB's deep ball so widely varied...

Is it footwork, release points, a combo of the two or what?

Because sometimes he'll throw like 40 yards with decent zip and go right over the wideout, and another time he'll throw 30 yards straight up into the sun.

I think it's release point, usually. That, and opening up too much with your front foot instead of stepping into your throw. When your shoulders open up too much, you're throwing with all arm instead of using your legs. With Cassel, I think he still doesn't trust/understand his pocket, so sometimes, he isn't stepping into his throw at all.
