re: Throwing the ball over the middle of the field

Makes sense. Etling has not had major accuracy issues though.

Most want to talk about Etling's "noodle arm" and underthrows on long balls. He has a tendency to throw high across the middle (as did Mett). That's bad. Add to that inexperienced WRs who might not protect their QB and play defender if needed, it is a high risk proposition.

To make it worse is Etling's hesitation and slow reads. You have to throw the WR open and hit them out of breaks so window does not close. If I were Canada, this is where I would have the most fear.
