You're not wrong, Holic. Arm strength is great, but oftentimes overrated, especially in the NFL. Timing, accuracy, foresight, and touch are essential to a top tier NFL QB. Joe has all of those things. Now, it's great to have a guy with elite arm strength, and the other superlatives that I just mentioned, but they rarely come in the same package.
Watch the throw Tua makes late in the 4th against LSU to Devonta Smith. From the far hash to the complete opposite boundary. There were no other defenders behind that throw. Even the safety was burnt.
That takes a very strong arm to make that throw. Ts, I'm not quite sure that Tua has the touch, or anticipation that Joe has.
Joe seems to be the right pick in this situation. I hope he is, comes in, and kicks ass! He needs weapons and blocking. He needs a scheme that works for him. Not sure that ZT provides it.
Seems to me that JB thrived in the Saints scheme. The Saints have been a perrinial top scoring team in the league. Let's hope that the " playcaller" can adjust some of his calls towards that type of system??
These coaches are suspect, but with a solid draft the team shouldn't be. I want AJ and Mixon both back. They would both be beasts in Joe Brady's system. Let's hope our FO and coaches realize the same. Get Eiffert back on the cheap, and we should be tough to stop offensively.
I've been watching this series on Prime called All or Nothing, it's pretty damn good. Definitely worth a watch or two. Jerry Jones is the worst...lol.. Definitely, wants to be the HC in Dallas.
