    So you are letting a nobody think for you

    If you are going to quite off the internet at least do your homework

    There are many more reputable people who full contradict O’Who

    You have either been watching the wrong highlights or you don't understand what you are watching.

    Nah. He's just trolling and he went hunting for anybody who might support the idea he is pushing to troll the board.

    Good college QB bad pro. He does a good job on his film review though, nice in depth look of whats going on in the play and not only what the QB should be doing but also explains if the play design didn’t do the QB any favors and what he could have done to make a better situation out of it.

    However, Benny is wrong, he doesn’t say Pickett has a weak arm or can’t make NFL throws.

    This is the same JT O’Sullivan who ranked Herbert as the 8th-best QB is his draft class so like most ‘QB experts’ he’s not exactly perfect.

    Do you get tired of making yourself look like a fool? Not once did they say he has a below average arm.

    Apparently you don’t get tired of making a fool of yourself since Stephen A said “he’s got a big arm”.

    Oh my lord kid. Can’t even say quit while you’re ahead because it isn’t applicable. You just keep digging the hole deeper and deeper.

    I googled "kenny pickett weak arm strength" and "Kenny Pickett scouting report" and came up with nearly nothing. The only thing was a you tube video called "Kenny Pickett lack of arm strength" or something like that which showed two plays total, one of which had a blitzer about to plaster him. Hardly representative.

    Every scouting report was generally saying his arm strength was good or not elite or whatever. Basically NFL average, but pointing out an efficient motion and quick release. IIRC correctly he absolutely killed it on Pro Day and made all the throws expected with really good accuracy.

    If there is one aspect that Pickett does share with Joe Burrow is their arm talents are near identical; Burrows having a bit more juice to it than Picketts. That said, Pickett's arm talent nor strength should be questioned. He has access to all levels of the field and has the accuracy to allow him to manipulate the field to his advantage.



    Now, he does not have a Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen or Justin Herbert level arm.... but neither does Joe Burrow, DeShaun Watson or even Jimmy G. Very good NFL Arm Talent can still win games. What the biggest X Factor in such cases is decision making and accuracy; both of which Pickett has in spades.



    This all said, the intangibles overall is not what is concerning about Pickett. How much more room he has to grow in comparison to his fellow QB Classmates (notably Willis) is a far more fair critique.

    I was talking about what Dan said and lol when stephen a said it he was asking Dan does he have a strong arm. He wasn't stating it. He likely doesn't know a thing really about Pickett he don't watch Pitt football lol.

    Deshaun has a very good arm. A notch below those guys but it's far better than average. Same with burrow and both guys had intangibles we've seen displayed on the biggest stage of college football against the best comp. Can't say the same for Pickett. But again let's wait till he plays. He's here now.

    And part of why the 49ers want to get rid of Jimmy g for Lance is his average talent. They recognize in this nfl with all these top guys you need someone special. I don't see an average guy running through an afc of mahomes,Allen, lamar, burrow, russ, deshaun, and Herbert. Only guy that may do and I have ny doubts it is Mac and that's because he has the goat at coach behind him.

    oh my freaking god you can’t be this obtuse.
    He says “ let me summarize brother’s got an arm. He’s got wheels…” to which everyone at the table responds yes.
