I think scouts in the NFL put way too much emphasis on arm strength.
Now, you can’t have a noodle arm like Ehlinger or 44 year old Rivers, but elite arm strength isn’t the be all end all.

To paraphrase Yogi Berra. Playing the position of QB is 90% mental, the other half is physical. Purdy is a smart QB. I think we've all seen big arm QBs that can't get out of their own way. I still don't know if DJ has it mentally. Hopefully he does. I'm pretty sure AR does not, which is too bad, because if he did, he would be fun to watch. I'm actually excited to see Leonard this week. I'm not expecting much, but I am hopeful. It's what we Colts fans do every Sunday.
