Andy is fine throwing 10 to 15 yards with zip/strength but beyond that its noticeable to me that his balls lose steam.   Don't take this as be bashing AD I'm just stating the obvious.

Weak arm compared to WHICH others? Yeah, he doesn't have the arm strength of a Favre or Jamarcus Russell, but he's no Chad Pennington either. ESPN's Sport Science did a show during his draft year, with a segment and compared the QBs velocity (the velocity of their passes) with each other. Dalton's was exactly the same as Cam Newton's. I've never heard anyone say Cam lacked arm strength.

In any event, what you have said, I would not call you a Dalton hater because you've at least attempted to be reasonable and rational with your reasoning, but I would not also necessarily call it "stating the obvious".
