The end all be all thread regarding quinns arm strength...
-
No, Quinn can't throw a football 70 yards. Maybe 65.
Joe Flacco won the long distance throw last year with a 74 yd throw with no pads on.
The other guys in the competition were in the mid to low 60's.
We've seen Anderson throw one 60 yards in a game before. Now he could probably hit 70, but not Quinn.
With Anderson at QB, he needs to be able to throw 70 yds, because thats all he has and that is when he is not trying to escape the pocket....very mobile

Honestly, Lum, I think Anderson could go 75.possible. Here's some other numbers from a different competition.
Byron Leftwich 73 yds
Carson Palmer 72 yds
75 yards would be extreme top end.
Few QBs can hit 60. The winning throw from a high school competition in California was 61 yards.

Did anyone see the video of Quinn on some news channel before he was drafted throwing a football about 40 yards into the back of truck and nailing it? It was pretty amazing, Im gonna try to find it!
Slow Ur Role Jabroni! -
I hope this finally shuts the haters up. The Browns kept Quinns throws short because they're testing him out, and then let him work his way up to the bombs.
According to Quinn they ran all the same plays as they did for DA but that nobody was open.
In other words, Quinn can't read an NFL D.

Thanks for the post man, I was actually beginning to believe all Quinn weak arm propaganda. Anyone would look to have a weak arm when compared to the likes of Derek Anderson and, Heaven Forbid, Jamarcus Russel (who I would check for either roids or hydraulic arm implants)

That's probably what shep was thinking of when he said Quinn could hit a cone from 70 yards away. Ha!
Apparently Charlie Frye was in a competition in 2007 which involved throwing a ball into a 5'x5' box from 45 yards away. No word on how he did.

OK....so what if you have a Brady Quinn poster on the ceiling above your bed??

Norv Turner said during the pro bowl last year that DA has one of the strongest arms in the NFL, stronger than any of the AFC Pro Bowl QB's, Manning, Big Ben and the others. I'd still take Quinn 100 times over though. I guess Im a lil biased being an ND fan

Here's what occurs to me watching the vid:
1. Quinn has good rhythm in the pocket
2. Quinn doesn't hang his receivers out to dry on a regular basis
3. Quinn has pocket presence
4. Quinn has an ability to extend the play
5. Quinn keeps his eyes down field
6. Quinn can run to pick up yards
7. Quinn can get rid of the ball quickly for a completion when blitzed
8. Quinn can also be patient and wait for a receiver to complete the route
9. Quinn can flick the ball 50 yards off his back foot with pressure (1:35 in the vid). Stepping into it would easily add 15 yards - plenty for a QB.
10. Quinn is not afraid to throw into tight spaces, yet holds the ND record for lowest INT ratio.
I can't see how anyone could watch this video, or his 4 years at ND, and conclude arm strength is an issue.
How far could Sipe throw? I don't recall Montana being known for a rocket arm. Bernie could just play.
Arm strength, shmarm strength.
Last question. Who has the stronger arm: Tebow or Bradford?
-
What's the difference if either can throw 60, 65 or 70 yards when Braylon's gonna drop the s.o.b. anyways.

HAHAHAHAHAHA That Is Good Shit Right Dare!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA

Alot of people are treating him like he cant throw a ball past the 35 yard mark when it is well known that he tops out in the mid 70's.

Who cares how far any QB can throw a football. The only time that matters is with a hail Mary.
How far can Drew Brees throw a football? Or Joe Montana?
I want a guy who can play the game. You know, a boxer not a puncher.
-
exactly, and if the situation called for it, quinn could be on his own 40 and chuck it to the back of the end zone anyway fora hail mary.
once again that quinn football in the truck vid that ITHIKA mentioned an I posted on the last page was awesome, that was nuts
-
The receivers weren't open for DA either, the exception is that DA has top 5 arm strength and can sometimes squeeze the ball through coverage. None of the receivers including Braylon are ever really open unless it is a hole in the zoze or an extended play. There are no Fitzgeralds on this team
