All NFL QBs can throw the ball 60-70 yards with enough arc . Where you judge arm strength is on passes 20-30 yards and the zip that is on the ball. 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.
I cannot speak of Andy's arm strength; I can only go by what those paid to assess such things claim.
I will say that the weakest arm in the NFL is most likely the strongest arm any of us have seen in real life. I served with a guy that played at a small school college program. The guy's arm was incredible, he would wow folks with his throws.
Now this was a nobody from nowhere. I'm sure a player such as Andy would amaze layman that witnessed it. I will agree that the ability to throw a long ball is no indicator of arm strength. How much zip can you put on that 10 yard out throwing off your back foot or on the move.
