Hold up. You're telling me the standard of arm length for the absolute monsters among men is 34 inches? And that a lot of the stars in the NFL don't even reach that threshold?

Jesus, I guess my 37 inch arms really are freakishly long. No wonder I can't find a got dang dress shirt that fits.

First post: "I don't believe arms length to be make or break"

Follow-up: "I'm posing the question with the thread.  Appreciate the points about leverage by come and the apt comp to Gross.  But it is true some staff's do in fact look at arm length as it is a big component to the position.  But as with everything it's one of many and countless exceptions to the rule are found that make up for it like Jason Peters, Joe Thomas, Jordan Gross as I mentioned."

I legit identified the variables and gave credence to them.  Am I in crazy land or is no one trying to gauge how in consideration of priorities and all variables considered, which guy we may like most?

Thread is strange; but not bc of the sax dude.  Which is a first. 

But @sax you should probably give it up, people are taking it as you saying arm length is a tell all, when you're clearly saying otherwise.

I'm confused...so support pantherclaw's post

Hurney sold us a cheap run down car.  Called him a First round draft pick and he wouldn't have been good as a 4th round pick.  Greg doesn't have the heart to play in the NFL.

 

His technique is what is really bad.  He relied on sheer power in college and everyone but the hurndog knew that

    • I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.
    • I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
