As I remember, even Jim Kelly didn't have a cannon - that worked out ok.

Huh?

Huh?

I think arm strength is important but some fans believe if you don't have a rocket for an arm then you will never win anything.

Its simply not true.

I bet you we could name a dozen QB's that had an AVERAGE arm and won it all!

Brady's arm is nothing powerful either!

Joe Montana for one!

Oh, I never heard of that guy. What was the weather like in the city he played for? And, how was his supporting cast?

Re: You guys and the Trent Edwards arm strength issue

I'd question whether you actually paid attention to him in college too, few QB's in the league have canons for arms, Brady included. But to say that his arm was an issue is, well, stupid. Watch the film, he made all the throws.

People are going to have to come to terms with the fact that Edwards dies NOT have a rocket fir an arm, he never will. But that doesn't necessarily make him any less of a QB.

QB wasn't a team need.. so no i didn't pay a lot of attention, but since i did a lot of big ten scouting he definitely was someone i had personal notes on. trust me. "unimpressive" i think was in the notebook.

average to bellow average arm.

and no... he can't make all the throws.

Have you ever seen him throw a 20 yard out? nope.

How often is the 20 yard out thrown? Do you still have your scouting notes on him by chance? I'd be interested to see what else you've got down on him.

Re: You guys and the Trent Edwards arm strength issue

TE is an infant. He's barely learned to crawl. He looks smart and seems to be playing within his current means. It's too difficult to tell at this point what his capabilities are we just don't see those types of things as fans...but there is a reason the coaching staff is so firmly behind him after such a short time and it's not just because JP has shown nothing because JP has shown some things. You could easily make the arguement that JP would be a more effective starter right now but that would just be opinion. But the coaches see some real long term positives in TE and that's why he's our QB.

What he's saying is valid to a point. Thankfully it doesn't matter anymore because we now have a permanent starting QB.

It's a valid point to not know who Joe Montana is?

Re: You guys and the Trent Edwards arm strength issue

he was being sarcastic and the valid point was that montana was not playing in difficult weather elements.

We'll all find out about handling the weather when the weather turns.

Re: You guys and the Trent Edwards arm strength issue

Seriously, he's the only one I've seen bring up Losman at all since the start of the season.

he's attempting to be funny but isn't.

Isn't the second or third time that he has made this same thread subject?

I'll always be rooting for JP, whenever or wherever he plays at. I'm not a Edwards hater of course, he is a buffalo bill.
