Drew Brees' arm stronger than you think

Arm strength has very little to do with being a top notch NFL QB. The guy playing QB needs to be able to hit his targets with a great deal of accuracy. Probably the best example is Steve Young. Young could not throw for more than like 40 yards if his life depended on it. But Young always completed bomb throws, just like Brees does today. I kind of remember Joe Montana also not having the best arm in the world, he took care of business too.

Peyton Manning is a perfect example. Decent arm but nothing special
