Let's stop this BS about his "skills". It comes down to the one skill fans get enamored with and that's the big arm. It's an overrated "skill". There's been plenty of real big arms w/QBs who have failed miserably at being a QB and there are plenty of great QBs who weren't noted has having that "skill". Most QBs in the league today can make all the throws required of them so I piss on that "skill".

It's not the big arm. Flacco has probably the biggest arm in football. The 'wow' throws are some of the thread the needle back shoulder throws that are a thing of beauty.

And no, most QBs cannot make all of the throws required of them. The hardest throw in the NFL to make is the back shoulder fade - especially with pressure. Many, many NFL QBS cannot make that throw - consistently or if at all.

The point is that most of the QBs in the NFL - including most draft picks - are frightfully average.

All of this could net the exact same result.

Regardless, this team will go nowhere with this defense.
Ok? So do it? Don't do it? Why? Why not?

You're delusional. The back shoulder throw is used throughout the Nfl and has to do with the wr as much as the QB. And, yes, the overwhelming majority of QBs can make all the throws. Kinda how they got to the NFL.

LOL. Cutler rarely makes that throw. Cutler's lone "skills" are a rocket arm and some mobility.

Honest question, do you ever get bored of discussing Cutler?
