Can you explain exactly what the frick "arm talent" is and how Mettenberger is top 10 in the league, because your statement seems laughable.


You not knowing what arm talent means is laughable. It's the same thing as "pure hitter" in baseball, which also should need no explanation to someone that has even a slight amount of sports knowledge, but here I'll spoon feed it to you.

Can make every throw - short dig, deep dig, post, drop the fade route in a bucket, proper touch on screens, has enough velocity and precision to zip the short out route without letting CB undercut it...you know; arm talent. Joe Flacco, Rodgers, Cutler, Stafford, Roethlisberger and Luck all have elite arm talent. Brees, Brady, Manning, Ryan and Rivers, although elite/great QB's dont have the same are talent as Joe Flacco. And yes, they dont have the same arm talent as Mettenberger who can sling it with the best of them.

This reaction is pretty meaningful...I just don't know what it means.

Players generally aren't critical of draft picks at the time of the pick.

Is there a consensus on why they reacted the way that they did? I doubt it was specifically about Mariotta? Was it about Mett? Was it about a desire to spend a pick on a different position?

So "arm talent" means they can make every throw, yet Brady and Manning don't have it and Mettenberger does?
