Can we talk Joe Burrow?

I agree that arm strength (like everything else) can be overrated.  There are scenarios, however,  when it is invaluable.  If you're forced to throw an out pattern off your back foot in the face of an oncoming blitze on third down, intangibles are meaningless.  Also consider it's much easier to be accurate if you don't have to put your all into a throw.  A guy who can heave it 70 yards can put less effort into a 50 yard throw than a guy who can heave it 60 yards.

This isn't a commentary on Burrow by the way, but just an observation. I think many fans have actually come to undervalue arm strength. It certainly isn't enough to make a good QB on its own, but it can make an otherwise good QB great.
