Re: Lessons of Brees extended to Clausen
I think this guy has the wrong idea about arm strenghth. I dont think the issue with arm strength stems from the ability to throw the deep ball, but the ability to give the defender less time to recover. The faster you get it to the reciever, the larger your window to complete the ball to the wr is because the closing time is less, which results in a higher completion percentage and less picks. And before someone jumps on me, I just want to cover my a$$ by saying that arm strength isnt the end all be all or THAT major a factor, but you do need to be able to throw it hard enough to hit your man for the split second that he is open. Weather Clausen can throw it hard enough?I dont know, Im not a scout.
