The reason he succeeded in college is because of the difference in passing windows you've already alluded to, and the kid is pretty damn smart.

I always crack up at those people who think the best college team would even remotely be competitive against the worst NFL team. I'll day this much about Finley... He made AJ McCarron look like the guy that many people wanted him to be.
I'm gonna break every record they've got. I'm tellin' you right now. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but it's goin' to get done.

People always give Andy a hard time about his arm. He zips a pass in their from time to time. He just doesn't always do it consistently

Ryan Finley is yet another in line of failed draft picks.
If the Bengals had good OC, they might be able to mask this deficiency with creative playcalling that utilizes RBs and TEs in the passing game a ton but they don't have that. Zac Taylor has no idea how to turn his vision into reality.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive. Sorry for Party Rocking!

How in the world does the NFL not have analytics or something that measures arm strength of QBs? There should be something that measures the velocity of the ball thrown.
If a QB doesnt have the right standardized threshold of velocity on a 30 yard pass downfield then he shouldnt even be looked at or drafted. The boys are just talkin' ball, babyyyy

Interestingly, his numbers were bad against the Clemson's of the world. Probably because their defenders were good enough to cover tighter.

I know for sure this franchise can't really afford
To be reaching for 4th RD picks like Findkey And completely missing .Duke Tobin and his scouts From the Hellen Keller school of scouting have really missed On the last 3 4 years of drafting Very few if none at all elite players and alot of guys that are jus Ok. Then you have guys like Price who are regressing

Meaning Andy was dragging that figure up, kicking and screaming, while Finley was dragging that run game down. Was about to post this exact thing before I saw you already covered it. ____________________________________________________________

Remember when the run game stunk all season, then suddenly Paul Alexander switched our run blocking scheme like 10 games into the season? We had a lot of success after that, then PA was fired after the season. Nevermind how long we took to fire guys like Zampese and Teryl Austin.

I'm not saying Cam strength but it's definitely something that's hit on for next to no reason. It's been a long time since I've seen QB passes like I've seen from Finley. The only comparison is Peyton's last year and he was both injured and 40. Feel free to support my Film/TV Review YouTube Channel - Youtube.Com/NaterTot

To answer the question posed in the thread title: Just how bad was Finley's arm strength?
Answer: It was so bad that the fly he swatted came back and knocked him on his ass for it. Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations -Frank Booth 1/9/23

In his career year he was.

They went deep with Finley when they should have have gone short and quick like BB does with Brady.
A good coach will design plays to his player's advantage. Zac's wishful thinking is this: We are going to go deep on the next play and catch them off guard and go for 40 yrds. When he should be thinking: Quick short passes to move the chains, tire the D, run Mixon more little by little and THEN go for a 20 yrd pass for a TD.

I don’t even want him as our backup QB next year his arm is so bad he doesn’t belong in the NFL I’m not trying to sound like a hater but he has no business in this league
Who Dey!!!
