More velocity on Etling's throws

We heard so much from Canada, Orgeron, and the team that Etling had more velocity and power behind his throws after the surgery.
I really saw it this past weekend and it was evident early in the game. On two third downs in the first quarter, Etling threw across the field to Derek Dillon twice right against the sideline. You could really see that the ball wasn't floating over there and beat the DB right on time. (Dillon also showed strong hands... thank god our receivets can catch now) This will bode well when we play faster and more experienced secondaries that will challenge our receivers and tighten those windows. I look forward to seeing this passing game develop with Etling's expanded ability.

If he had hit Chark in stride, 6.

I agree, but prepare for all these madden experts telling you those throws lack velocity. I honestly cannot see wtf they are talking about. It's like they want someone to throw as hard as they can for the hell of it.

Ya, some of those were 30-40 yards across the field. May have only been a 15 yard pass, but he definitely has the strength.
There are a bunch of people on this board that need to take a step back and quit posting.

Arm strength for a QB is like 40 time for a RB...it's about 4th or 5th on the list of things that make one great.
If Etling is going to have a great year, it's going to be because he understands the passing concepts, makes good decisions, can deliver from the pocket and move within the pocket enough to make a few plays. Those are things that he is probably much better at than Brennan at this point.

I had the exact opposite impression. Both of those balls floated and are dangerous throws against better secondaries. Etling has his obvious physical limitations. As long as he stays within those, we should be fine.
