Arm strength - Deshaun Watson is woefully bad

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; I remember this was a big hit on Danny Wuerfail. Teams would cheat so bad on him. Really no ability to throw deep....

Mike Vick's must have been near or above 60. Very fast throwing motion and a ton of velocity.

I'd bet on it being higher than that. Michael Vick, Brett Favre, JaMarcus Russell, and Jay Cutler all have cannons.

I remember hearing WR's that played with Elway use to leave games/pratice with bruises all over their body. The passes would break through their hands.

Not only was Vick fast, but he had a cannon of an arm. See link below.

I wanted Vick to be a Saint so bad growing up.

While we're on the topic of Quarterbacks, I was on the record as saying I didn't want anything to do with Chad Kelly. His draft stock has fallen so far at this point that now I'd be willing to take the risk. He's going to throw you into some games and he's going to throw you out of some. He reminds me of Brett Favre. He's an anticipatory passer and a gun slinger. He doesn't wait for you to get open. He throws you open or where you're supposed to be. Maybe Brees and Payton can mentor him and cut down on those interceptions. That's been my only pet peeve with him is picks. Also, he's mobile and has good size at 6'2" 225 lbs.

I'm keeping an eye on Josh Dobbs as well. He never impressed me at Tennessee, and I don't expect much out of him, but I don't know how much he had to work with offensively. Another mobile kid. EXTREMELY intelligent. Sub-par accuracy. He'd be a project, but he's also a late round pick anyway. He might be more of a Kaepernick style player, but I think he has more touch on the ball.

Chad Kelly reminds me of Derek Carr. In a good way.

I still think Trubisky is the one to take the risk on. Especially if he's sitting for 2-3 years.

He's likely a 1st rounder, and I wouldn't want to use 11 or 32 on him. If he falls to the 2nd though...you have to take him.

More like 6 or 7 years. Brees repeated on NFL Radio a couple of days ago that he expects to be able to continue playing until the age of 45. Brady has said the same. I believe both of them. Any QB we pick up anytime soon will be a backup only. At least for the Saints.

We should give Brees another $120 million contract.
