Those guys can actually make throws other guys can not consitently (opposite hash 10 yard out/14 yard come back for example). After that everyone else can essentially make all the same throws with very little difference. When you fall below that "everyone else" baseline then you are discussing guys who simply can't play in the NFL (Think Kellen Moore). People make too much of a point about arm strength, in reality it is either elite or it isn't if you are in the NFL and actually playing.

Side note, before anyone comes in with velocity stats or other random things showing there are variations in speed. It doesn't make a difference in success at all outside of those guys that I mentioned can actually make throws that others can't because it completley changes how a CB plays knowing a throw can be made that usually can't be.

Just out of curiosity, would Chad Pennington have been an outlier of the bold?

He may have had arguably the weakest arm in the 2000s-now and he did have a decent amount of success in the league.
