Fitzpatrick
Tannehill Brady Sanchez Flacco Dalton Weeden Rothlisberger Shaub Luck Gabbert Locker Manning Cassel Palmer Rivers Romo Eli Foles RG3 Cutler Stafford Rodgers Ponder Ryan Newton Brees Freeman Kolb Bradford Kaepernick Wilson I might be inclined to retract my top ten comment and push it back to top 15 as it sits...with work on his lower body, there is no reason to think he can't jump up one group and be in the op ten because I don't think there is a big difference between his arm and Rodgers'. Show me te guys on that list that CLEARLY have a stronger arm than Geno. I don't think there are more than maybe 5 more that I didn't highlight. Last edited by BossChief; 01-29-2013 at 09:10 PM.. |

Tannehill, Rodgers, rg3, freeman, Luck and Gabbert are the guys that I see as having arm strength that is at a similar level to Geno.

agree with that list except rodgers and luck.. Both those guys could give stafford and cutler runs for their money on arm strength.

Tannehill Brady Flacco Weeden Rothlisberger Luck Gabbert Eli RG3 Cutler Stafford Rodgers Newton Freeman Kaepernick I think you're mixing his potential with what he actually does. He has the talent to put himself above 1/2 the guys on that list, but when he's arm throwing and not driving with his legs, he's just another Bradford.

Again, this can be said of any quarterback that gets lazy with the fundamentals and mechanics.

The elite arm guys, Stafford, Cutler etc, can be absolutely awful mechanically and still spin it. Now if you want to talk about accuracy and timing, thats a different story. |

What I did say was that you can say that any quarterback in the NFL losses velocity when they don't use proper mechanics. That's why a pass rush is so vital to today's defenses...if you can make quarterbacks uncomfortable, you can make him rush his throws and therefore take some velocity and accuracy off the all. |

Or Dan Marino the patron saint of bad mechanics who could pass the ball beautifully as if it was on a laser trace.

As to his accuracy, I think he's at 8-10 in the league but man that's a hard thing to compare. Coming out of college, Bradford was the most accurate passer I saw in years. I thought he would be a guy that would come into the NFL and be among the top 5 most precise passers out there. As it turns out, his accuracy is above average, but not elite. Because of that (and some other guys I overrated a little bit), I've started tempering my thoughts on a college QBs accuracy until I see it in action at the next level. I think his is superb, but it's hard to bet much on it. As a pure thrower, he looks outstanding to me. The question will be how he reacts when the bullets are flying and how he handles teaching, because he does need a little bit.
