He doesnt have the arm strength of Etling. But this is easily fixable. Hes a small guy. Give him time to beef up.


To me, this statement by itself shoots any credibility you might've had.

Actually...

every comparison I heard about Brennan was to Hodson. Hodson never had the cannon to throw it 60+ yds in the air. A couple of Etling's deep passes WERE over 55 yds.

Throwing a 20 yd out and a 50+ yd bomb are two different things. And it's easily conceivable that Brennan, like Hodson, has the wrist strength and quick release to look good in short and intermediate passes. Hell, that's part of what makes the pass so catchable... it comes out quick so you think there's more velocity than there is.

I remember people getting defensive about Hodson's arm at the time, too; and then when he went to New England, it was obvious he couldn't drive the ball.
