Thomas Brown is just as bad as Reich was situationally. These short yardage plays are moronic at best.

Thomas Brown had things looking different for a sec and then right back to poo. 

Its the short-yardage calls. You HAVE to be under center there. It makes no sense to force Chubba to get 6 yards to gain one yard. App State does this all the time and it drives me crazy, but they pretty much refuse to ever go under center as part of their scheme.

Absolutely without a doubt. He has his problems but arm strength hasn't shown to be one of them.

Arm strength is maybe his biggest overall problem because it's the root cause of a lot of his issues.

When you don't have the arm you need to make the throws you make, it changes everything else.

It changes the plays you can call, it changes the throws he can even attempt to make and thus causes him to make poor decisions because he flat out doesn't have the ability to make a throw if he doesn't have a perfect base underneath him.

Because of that he always feels the need to pull the ball down and move in the pocket, which he also isn't fast or strong enough to do and it leads to sacks and throwaways.  Where in the same situation, 90% of the other QB's in this league can still attempt the throw because they have the arm strength to throw off base.

No, maybe they don't complete the passes every time (although they do at times), but they at least can attempt them, he flat out can't and it has a cascading affect on the rest of his play/decisions.

Don't trust the qb to throw on 3rd and short???

It is raining out there. We just saw Tampa be pretty conservative. Everything ain’t about Bryce

What starting QB in this league has a worse arm than Bryce?

And again, as I said in my other post, I'm not talking about someone who is a backup who is getting a start because of injury (so whoever is starting for the Bengals doesn't count), but "normal" starting QBs.

Closest I could think of is Pickett, but even his arm is stronger (again, not strong, but stronger than Bryce's).

He definitely has a better arm than Mac Jones. Obviously almost all the backup QB's starting you aren't including he has a better arm than. Gardner Minshew for instance. Ridder is debatable. He isn't a cannon armed guy for sure.

Sanders is blind.

Sanders is a lot of things, but trash is the main one that comes to mind.
