If Matt Moore wants to play in the NFL at a higher level...

... he's going to have to improve his arm strength somehow. To say he has average arm strength is being extremely kind.

Anybody know if this is something our strength and conditioning coaches can help much with?

And before the inevitable "but, pennington" responses come, let me ask you, how many other weak armed QBs have had success recently?

If all he's asked to do is run screens, smokes, and dumps then it doesn't matter.;)

I know you mean at a high level, which I don't believe he'll ever achieve, but yeah... I believe he or Feely could have done enough to beat the Bills today.

No, I mean higher level.

He showed some success in the dink and dunk game in 2007, but the few shots he took downfield were lofts. He's got to be able to fire some shots on a rope in the vertical passing game to be successful.

Matt's arm is very strong, anyone who watched the preseason would know this. He made some mistakes but then again he was throwing to WR's who are no longer on this team. We was working with the 3rd string O-line, RB and WR's so it's not like he had what Jake had to work with. Next week would be a great game to get Matt Moore started because the Cards are allowing a ton of passing yards.

distance and velocity in almost every case has less to do with "popped out 'ceps" and more to do with form and footwork.

throwing a football is basically the same motion as serving a tennis ball. yeah, the guys spend time in the weight room, but generally you increase your speed and distance with coaching and better form.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
