GrizzReaper Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 (edited) I don't think it'll be an issue... There is like 1 bad weather Arctic tundra game per season at home. These guys are about to be NFL QBs I doubt they have noodle arms and can't handle a bit of wind. Plus they have cold wx gear and heaters on the sidelines... Also I would think the guy will get acclimated and the visiting team would have a harder time adjusting to the wx unless they are coming from a chilly windy place too...

NastyNateSoldiers Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I think the we need a cold weather power thrower is overrated and can quite possibly put us in position to draft a bust like Allen . This can possibly be the reason why we never hit on our QBs. Ej and Losman had big arms and big hands where did that get them. Basically we should not draft a guy because of 1 or 2 bad weather gms a yr. That's ridiculous. Find the best QB and take em not the best QB for our environment.

njbuff Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 4 hours ago, HappyDays said: We played exactly one game in the snow last year. People act like it's a blizzard in a wind tunnel every Sunday at New Era. Any one of the 1st round QBs from this year has sufficient arm strength, Rudolph might be the only one with a question mark there. At worst, it's always very windy in that stadium and a lot of QB's have a hard time throwing in the wind. It's basically the stupid reason Ralph benched Flutie for Johnson. Ralph got a hard on seeing how Johnson threw on a windy day against the Colts. The rest is history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmur66 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 (edited) Weather is a factor when you have home field advantage for the AFC Championship. Of course most of you young whippersnappers wouldn't remember that. By the way my hands measure 9 3/8" and I can't throw a football worth a darn.

oldmanfan Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 All these guys can throw well enough and hard enough to survive at the Ralph. The depths people are going to in order to knock some of these guys is absurd. i don't think any of them are any better or worse than the next. They all have strengths and weaknesses. Odds are none are going to be another Kelly. And since I was 4 years old sitting in the Rockpile opening day 1960, you're all young whippersnappers to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Are there any QBs from Alaska available in the draft? Geez. Even weak-assed-arm Chad Pennington played well in NY. As long as the QB has an NFL-caliber arm the weather is not an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffalobloodfloridahome Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 That is supposedly why we went so high for EJ because of his size and enormous hands and strong arm.
