NickelCity Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I'll admit, I'm surprised by that. I think Allen's arm is noticably stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Pass velocity and the amount of zip a QB can put on a pass were factors in the ranking, as was the ability to hit the deep ball" Based on this criteria, I find it hard to argue with their rankings. If it were velocity and zip only, measured empirically by radar, I would say Allen all day. When you factor in their body of work connecting on deep balls, even Josh has admitted he has a lot of work to do. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I was surprised by that also… I think Allen def has a stronger arm than Mahomes it’s just some people can’t get off of Mahomes n##s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you factor in their body of work connecting on deep balls, even Josh has admitted he has a lot of work to do. It’s easier to connect on those when you have a receiver who can outrun everyone to open green and a TE who can win contested catches like no other. The combination creates space on its own. That said, we’ll see if Allen makes another developmental leap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope we beat the Pats thirty times in a row by thirty. Then, maybe then, the hate will let up. I got nothin' against the chefs. They're f-fen good. Naturally, Idont like them, but hating them isn't there yet for me. I wonder if we can beat them this year? We're going to have to be healthy, #1. Number two,Josh has to play his ass off and no one can let him down. #3 gotta move Mahomes off his spot and make him nervous. We gotta pressure!. #4 gotta cover the twins for KC. We failed miserably at this last game. It was shameful. #5 gotta win the STs battle. Hard to do but Then we win.... Go Bills! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, this ranking is an ESPN thing, and Mina Kimes, whom I quoted is an ESPN personality. I thought it would be OK to post her difference of opinion with their consensus choice.

Totally Agree, and according to this guy's look at Next Gen Stats Mahomes isn't even in his top 10 deep passers of 2020. https://www.nfl.com/news/next-gen-stats-top-10-deep-passers-of-2020-aaron-rodgers-lands-at-no-4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Arm strength is arm strength. Deep ball accuracy is accuracy or deep ball accuracy, i.e. different categories. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1ManRaid Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I'm going to have a boulder of salt for any claim of someone having a stronger arm than the literal strongest arm ever tested coming out of college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
