Also realize not all of us have a small sample size some of us watched him up close for 4 years.
Sure the odds are he isnt the long term elite starter or for that matter just an average long term starter because it is difficult.
But realize any point you make that he isnt someone can make a point that they think he is at this point. The only thing your looking at is arm strength because he has some elite physical skills other then the arm. What makes me laugh is so many posters get hung up on arm strength.
I keep hearing accuracy and mention of missed throws, sorry the 66% completion dont support that conclusion. So much more then just arm strength goes into being a good QB, so much more!

I think you missed the point I was trying to make. Or I didn't use enough words...
He looks perfectly capable of starting and I think he can be a long term solution at #2 (which is after all why they re-signed him) because he knows how to play and has some intangibles that are highly desirable. BUT without a cannon, he's always going to be measured against some strong armed kid coming out of college and if that kid has similar intangibles, he'll get the starting gig over TH. It's simple; if you need your QB to put the ball on a dime with an out route in a key situation, you need a guy with a cannon. If you need to be able to execute a Hail Mary outside your opponents 45 you need a guy with a cannon. If you need to execute a quick fire timed passing attack against a tough defense, you need a guy with a cannon. That's just the way the NFL is, very few guys with weak arms survive very long as starters.
