I don't think he has that muscle memory down yet, which could be a cause of some of the underthrows this year. Hopefully, he keeps working with him and gets that stuff down.
I was reading those articles during the off season wondering "hmm...is this just fluff? Can you actually meaningfully increase your arm strength as a QB? And, if so, why is not every QB in the NFL doing this?" but man, has it paid dividends so far. Obviously, drafting Chase had a lot to do with that as well, but I think his arm strength has increased across the board from 2020 to 2021. He's going to be the best QB in Bengals history as long as we keep him upright .
