re: Where does arm strength rank in your requirements for qb

In college accuracy is far, far more important because you can have a dominant offense built around the short passing game in the middle of the field.
In the NFL it's a tougher call because if you can't throw downfield effectively and stretch the field your offense will usually be ineffective in the modern league. Accuracy is probably still more important, but this is precisely why most spread QBs don't succeed in the league. They usually lack good arm strength and can't the deep and sideline throws.

I'm not say8ng it's not important I'm saying there's a couple more things that are more important. Like accuracy and awareness. It doesn't matter if you have a cannon if you don't have it between the ears. Look at jamarcus Russell Ryan mallet and osweiller

I think arm strength is more relevant to the patterns where you need to zip the ball in a tight window, such as a 10 yard out. Without arm strength, the corner jumps the route and takes it for 6.
A deep ball is more about touch and accuracy.
I do agree that if arm strength is a qb's best attribute, they probably aren't a great qb, as accuracy and intelligence are probably more important. However, without arm strength, the offense will be limited.
