TuscanyTile2 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Can you think of an NFL QB with a weaker arm than Chadwick? Let's limit it to 1980 or later. I can't think of any but wondering if I'm forgetting someone. I still can't get out of my mind how when Chad would need to throw a hail mary that it was a virtual guarantee he would throw a 2 yard dump off (just like every other pass he threw). I never understood why they didn't replace him w/ the backup for those hail marys. To Chad's credit, he won a lot of games with that noodle arm. If there ever was an arm strength to wins ratio, Chad would probably be at the top of the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin L Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Hard to say who had the weakest arm, but I remember Montana had a pretty weak arm. Decision making and ball placement are more important than a strong arm, overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kleckineau Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I watched many practices at Hofstra and saw first hand that Pennngton had very good arm strength pre injuries / surgeries. After that he was down there with Fitz. BTW anyone elase remember Pat Ryans floating ducks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think the bajillion injuries also affected his mechanics and accuracy. I remember in 2002 Pennington making balls accurate throws to receivers running fade and go routes. By 2005 Chad had trouble hitting receivers 5 yards away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy 2 Times Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Josh McCown has a weaker arm. He can't push the ball 25 yards down field. Penny's arm was strong enough before the shoulder injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sciond Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Chad was my favorite since Namath, just ahead of O'Brien. Chad should be a coach.... heck he could our QB coach One of the highest percentage passers we have seen. Plenty of of arm strength pre injury...not Favre strong but enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adoni Beast Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Pre-injury chad had enough arm strength. Without injuries he would have been our first true franchise quarterback since Namath. Who knows what he could have done with the talent we had 2008-2010, if he never got hurt. But we don't live in a world of ifs. Cause if my aunt had balls, she'd be my uncle.

pdxgreen Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I've heard people say that Phil Simms had one of the weakest arms in NFL history. At least for a SB winning QB. I was really young then so I don't remember seeing many of his throws. Actually, Simms was a pretty overrated QB to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His arm was a lot stronger than given credit for, it wasn't a rocket obviously and was weakened by multiple rotator cuff surgeries but he had an NFL arm and could make basically all the throws.
