5'11 qb star rankings by TigerRagAndrew

His arm is much better than Scott's and he plays at a top program

Field vision, football IQ and accuracy mean so much more, by saying much better arm can mean throwing farther and not more accurate.
I wouldn't agree 100% here. A QB having a stronger arm is one of the hardest things to defend on the defensive side of the ball. It's not all about throwing downfield with a cannon. It's about putting zip on the ball so that a DB can't jump the pass. This in addition to a quick release are key factors in a QBs success as well as the ones you mentioned. Grant it, if it's not accurately delivered then what's the point. So I agree with you, but a QB must have a strong arm to be competitive at the higher levels.

I've seen QBs with mediocre arms dice up defenses left and right. This isn't the NFL, we should look for accuracy and touch first and then go from there. I'd rather a guy with a quick release and accuracy than a guy with a cannon and no accuracy. A guy with a cannon who's very accurate is pretty damn rare.
AJ MCCARRON for Bama his final 2 years - 67% 6000 pass yards 9.2 YPA 58 TDs 10 ints.
Aaron Murray 4 years UGA - 62% 13100+ pass yards 8.9 YPA 121 TDs 41 ints
Dak Prescott last 2 years Miss St - 64% 7200+ pass yards 8.3 YPA 56 TDs 16 ints
So guys with average arms can dice up the SEC.
