Did all of the naysayers see enough today that he is capable of making the big armed throws?

I saw Brad play 1 time as a freshman, 2 times last year, and this was my first game this year... Ball jumps out a lot better this year. You can tell he's added some good weight and it's showing. Those deep balls to Ahmmon were beautiful.

The bubble screens Coley called last year never worked mainly because we didn't run them right, but also Kaaya didn't have the arm strength to get it there quick enough. Now, he lets it rip and its in their hands getting up field. Also helps that they are used at good times, set up well, and our WR blocking is better.
 
That wasn't a big arm throw. Kaaya's arm is strong enough but it isn't his strength.

That throw is what scouts judge qb's arms on, nobody here said he has a rocket. But the myth around here is his arm is mediocre or weak, which is bs. That pass proved he has more than enough arm to be a legit prospect. It was very impressive to throw it with that much velocity and on a rope .

He has good arm strength , not great . Which great arm talent is super overrated.

I was never worried about his arm strength, but his ability to put the team on his back and carry them to a tough win. Steve Walsh, Bernie Kosar, and Ken Dorsey didn't have the strength Kaaya does, so arm strength, while nice, isn't everything.

They didn't have the arm strength that Kaaya has. Kaaya doesn't have the teams that they had.

His touch is arguably his biggest strength, but it's nice to see him display some nice arm strength today that's for sure

The fact that coley had to slow down and come back for that deep touchdown throw should tell people he didn't have enough strength in that throw.

I got called out last week for saying he had great arm strength . He does and proved it

People think everyone has to have a Michael vick arm to be great, that is elite and a different category. This guy has an NFL arm for sure
 
He made a bevy of NFL throws this game...

The naysayers will never go away, don't pay them any mind, a lot of cats just gotta have something to nitpick over.

If it ain't Kaaya, it'll be Yearby, if it ain't Yearby, it'll be the OL, if it ain't that, they'll start complaining about the run defense once we play ACC opponents... And so on & so forth.
