Are y'all really comparing Hatch's arm strength and velocity to Weurffel's
i'm not sure if its the same poster, but i've read at least 3 comparisons to weurffel's arm every time someone questions hatch's arm strength.

I will say it again with the utmost certainty:
Flynn's arm was not much stronger than Hatch's.
In fact, Hatch's may be stronger at this point in his career. The Difference is flynn had good touch and accuracy. Hatch doesn't yet.
Lee is lightyears ahead of both in terms of strength and accuracy, but he IS a FRESH. That said, he is smart. Let's not forget he's a coaches son. He'll learn.

They need to quit doing that shite

if flynn's arm isnt that much stronger than Hatch and Flynn is good enough to be a 2nd string QB in the NFL, then hatch is more than adequate for college ball.
not that i'm defending hatch. i'm just making an analogy. i havent seen enough of hatch's arm to make a fair judgement. there might be a reason why hardly any semi-deep balls were called for hatch.

from what I have seen to this point hatch is about 70% of Flynn in arm strength.
Something like that

its true
i will be the first to say i am surprised at how well flynn is doing. But he did have great coaching.

we don't really need a Jamarcus type of arm strength
There's a lot inbetween Jamarcus Russell and Hatch.
His inability to get the ball to Byrd on the fly pattern concerns me a great deal.

Then what is it about Hatch that makes you think he'll give us less of a passing game than Randall did? Or that he is just cut out to be a good D-2 starter?
There is nothing I've seen about Hatch to say that his arm may be as strong as or stronger than Flynn's.

Hatch's isn't much worse than flynn.
I disagree with that (except for the games when his ankle was bad).
Hatch's arm is pretty limiting.

dude, please. There is no way Hatch can make the throw to Davis in the Peach Bowl, or Byrd against Bama or Auburn last year. Or the drill passes against Arky late in the game. From what I've seen, Flynn and Lee are pretty close in arm strength. With that said, I think the offense can do fine with Hatch at the helm...

Don't care how strong his arm is, as long as he can make the passes required of him. On a scale of 1-10, it's probably six. But as long as you (as a staff) don't ask him to do what he can't, whats the problem?

So, do you think he can do that?
I'm very doubtful myself. If you can't get the ball to a WR on a 40 yard fly pattern, on the short side of the field, with no pressure, then that tells me that his arm is limiting him.
On a scale of 1-10, it's a 3 IMO.

I think he's saying that those throws aren't a requirement for the offense to be successful...

Perhaps, although that may be at least one limit you have in the passing game

+1.
Rantards don't give Flynn enough credit.
Heck, MF beat out cannon arm, second round draft pick for a back up QB spot in the NFL.

Are you people on crack? One game and Hatch is already a weak arse QB, give the kid a chance. I think he will be fine. The missed passes is more due to learning the offense and timing patterns than arm strength

Maybe not, but we sure relied on that aspect of our offense at times last year.

I'm not saying he's a weak arse QB, I'm saying he has a weak arm. I am concerned that it does seem like our offense will have to be scaled back when he's playing.

I don't think hatch has a strength problem.
I think it was his first game and he was just being careful which he was. Took care of the ball very well.
Funny how you guys like to dogged the QB when he managed the game very well.
Hatch put 17 points on the board in the first quarter.
Stop Bashing the QBs.
