Anyone have any idea? Please keep this discussion solely on focused on strength of their arm/throwing talent.

Brennan if only based on arm talent

Accuracy - Burrow big time, Strength - Brennan.

If Brennan gets 80% of Burrow's accuracy next year, develops a touch on his passes, and has a very good pocket presence, we are in great shape!

Sorry I can’t answer your question:

But Brady is going to have a lot to say about Brennan’s development in 2020.

He can’t be written off. He will add more than 5 lbs and who knows, there may be a metabolism switch that is hit by the fall and we are looking at a different human.

Lame comparison.

Burrow could knock down a brick wall if he chose to. Burrrow throws with touch because he WANTS to. Not because he can't throw smoke,

Judge a QB by his ability to complete passes (at a high completion percentage) to every area of the field. NOT by his choice to throw hard when an underhand toss would be 5 times more effective.

Burrow throws bullets when he NEEDS to. Which is not all that often. BTW, it takes MUCH more skill to throw with touch than to throw all fastballs.

There is so much more to a QB effectiveness than this.

Exactly. I’d say Brennan but obviously that doesn’t mean much or he’d be the starter and Heisman frontrunner.

Not even close. Brennan has a cannon. JB has said so many times.

Why do you stupid fricks feel a need to insert dumbass obvious comments like this in a thread that is specifically intended to talk about arm velocity and talent about our 2 qb's. This thread is not a slight in any way intended at burrow if in fact Brennan has a bit livelier arm talent.

Brennan has the biggest arm since Jamarcus. That can only mean so much though, hoping he puts it all together.

Buckeye Jeaux is so triggered that Myles has a stronger arm Kid throws rockets effortlessly. We know that doesn't make him a better QB though relax man.

Doesn’t matter. Burrow has qualities you can’t teach. Arm strength doesn’t mean shite if you don’t have the right mentality. Not saying Brennan doesn’t have those things, just that it remains to be seen.

Arm talent is about 10 % of what makes a great qb.

1. Accuracy
2. Decision making
3. Leqdership
4. Toughness
5. Mobility in the pocket.

I hope you don't grow a weird obsession for Brennan, like you have for Burrow.
