These comments may be for another thread, but I just want to say forget about Brunell's "noodle arm". That first TD pass was thrown for 50 yards in the air and the second was for 45 yards in the air. They were also both very "rainbow like" which allows a receiver to run under them and make the play. I hate to say this, but all things being equal Ramsey would have thrown "frozen ropes", with a very low trajectory and possibilty of being caught. If I have a QB who can throw 50 yards in the air, how much more of an arm on my QB do I need as a coach? If any of you have noticed McNabb's deep throws to T.O. in Week 2 or the preseason, he also throws "rainbows" that allow a receiver to run under them. What I guess I am saying is Brunell throws a very catchable ball. We need to work on that in the coming weeks and let him make more of these types of throws.
