Now you can continue to believe that Andy has a cannon and you would be wrong. It works against your motive to claim to be "the one guy who knew" way back that Andy was the greatest most capable QB in the history of the game. See you have to be able to admit when you kids are ugly...it does not mean they are not smart. Andy has a average NFL arm, great accuracy, and has a great football mind. He makes excellent post snap adjustments to put his team in the optimal position to succeed… With average NFL arm strength.
I find that to be a higher compliment then delusionaly pretending that he has a Cannon can run a 4.0 40 and can jump over the goalpost.
Dalton does have a good NFL arm. It's not average. He has some of the best stats in the league when it comes to 20+ and 40+ yard completions. Pretty much all passes that are 75-80 yards through the air are hail marys. The hail mary Aaron Rodgers had against the Cardinals was only ~60 yards through the air. To say 75-80 through the air on anything other than a hail mary is just fooling yourself.
