"Strongest arm" has to be the stupidest thing ever. There is no science to measuring arm strength besides miles per hour. Scouts talking about "zip" on passes are just as silly as baseball scouts claiming they can tell the difference between a 96 mph and 98 mph fastball without a radar gun.
Brady not having a strong arm? Lmfao...absolutely idiotic stuff.
Here's some interesting MPH points that show just how moronic this all is and how much it is colored by narrative and perception. I mean, when we hear about arm strength, the entire point is how quickly the ball gets from the quarterback's hand to the spot, right? These guys all throw footballs at similar speeds, though certainly a guy at the top (60 mph) might have an advantage over a guy at the bottom (50 mph). But most everyone is just muddled into the middle here...even the guys thought to have weak arms and the guys thought to have strong arms (Mahomes, Flacco, etc.)
