Why do I keep reading that Etling has a noodle arm

In one of the games this year, Etling threw a pass from the LSU 5 yard line to the opponents 35 yard line where it was caught with out stretched arms,above the receivers shoulders. That would be about 65 yds in the air, and a little better than Drew Brees did in a QB competition years ago when Jake Delhomme was still at Carolina. Maybe you would rather see one of Harris's 60mph rockets...4 feet over the hands of the receiver who was 3 yards over the line of scrimage!

Because he does.
Tell me how many outs he's completed, or how many deep routes he hasn't underthrown.
C'mon it's obvious. It is what it is at this point.

what was the trajectory, though? It's not just about distance. It's also about have fast a qb can get it there, especially on wide side of the field throws and across the middle.

It's mainly because he has a kmart arm. Ken Dorsey style.

I’m not sure that I’ve read “noodle” , but it’s damn sure not accurate

Before Saturday I've never read anyone descibe DE as inaccurate.

DE16 hasn't thrown a ball 65 yards.

Etling’s accuracy increases when he has more than 2 seconds to scan the field for an “open” receiver....

Care to explain why he was so bad Saturday if this is the case. He had plenty of time there was only 3-4 legit hurrys this game.

Erling does not have a noodle arm at all his arm is above avg. just because he throws some touch passes and our fans are ignorant doesn't mean he has a weak arm. Nobody's completed more long throws besides Mett in the past 10 years at LSU. Our fans are stupid read any recruiting or scouting g report and you'll see. The information is in direct conflict to fan opinion.

He was bad Saturday? He was 8-12 for 120 and a TD with 10:54 to go in the 3rd quarter vs a very good defense. We went into run run pass punt mode after that and we threw 4 more passes the rest of the game, all on 3rd and long situations. If wedve kept running the offense the entire game hedve had a very good game. The guy missed 1 key throw the entire game. Plus he made great decisions and plays with his legs. We don't win that game without him.

Etling is.... really bad.
Steps into a throw 1-2 times a game. The rest of the time he's throwing pop-ups/jump balls

I'm going to see some video of your claim.
Etling has consistently under thrown receivers on long passes. I remember in particular a long pass in the Chattanooga game (I think) that obviously was under thrown and would have been either incomplete or intercepted against a decent team.
