or is Etling too weak and inaccurate to challenge the middle of the defense?

You don't know which takes more arm strength, do you?

Nearly every deep ball was underthrown, but that wasn't the point. Most offenses use crossing/ slants and we don't. Just curious.

The sideline throws are farther obviously but a lot of throws between defenders require a lot of velocity.

So. Depends on the throw

It looks like you don't. It takes considerably more arm strength to throw intermediate passes on a rope than it does to simply chunk it up and air one out on the deep ball.

We don't do intermediates because Danny can't fire a missile in there.
