His arm is a cannon though. At the combine he led all passers with a 59 mph throw. Also extremely accurate with the deep ball.

I just don't get how so many "experts" underestimated Sam's arm strength. As you mentioned, he actually proved that he had the strongest arm of all the QB's at the combine. It's on the official record, for goodness sakes! Many NFL executives failed to see what Sam can become and they will regret it.
Meanwhile, the Press seems to think NFL execs are infallible so there must be something wrong with him because he was drafted in the 5th Round. "Well", someone might have said, "he must have a weak arm." So they all went with the weak arm story. Thus, the Colt McCoy comparison.
Again, as you suggested, the only thing Sam lacks is two or three inches in height. If he were 6"4" tall he might have been a 1st Round pick. That's how stupid people can be when they start to believe a false narrative rather than believing what they see with their own eyes. Our team executives weren't any smarter than the others but we got lucky. Luck is good!
