Kaayas arm strength

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 to look who they played with..

Just saying, they were winners that didn't need cannons to win. I'm not comparing them, or their teams, just saying arm strength isn't the best indicator of a good QB. Kyle Wright had a cannon, and we see where that got him. Give me a leader, a winner, over a guy with a cannon. I'm hoping Kaaya turns into that guy, and badly. I'd love to see him lead us to a big win over FSU. I'd love to see him lead us to wins in every game we should win. Today was a nice start.

By the way, I was more impressed with how he rebounded after that INT than I was any particular strong throw he made.

I get your point but under Golden the team was to frigging heavy for anyone to carry. This year is Brad's test. Decent coaching and Hurricane defense to give him cover over rough spots make this a true test for him. Steve, Bernie and Ken were unbelievably perfect college QBs for the teams they ran. Brads needs to gring home to big wins this year -- FSU and ND to start.
 
And also... oh those rpo throws to the flats to the receivers aren't easy throws either although kaaya is making them look very easy.... All of those have been on the money, I have seen much worse with qbs who supposedly have such big arms like Christian hackenberg who can't make those throws

This dude made a deep out throw from, what im sure was, the far hash, on a rope and accurate and there are people in here saying it wasn't a big arm throw? Classic.

Its probably the same people trying to argue with me about Francois being a force and deshaun watson being overrated.

Prob the same people wanted mario cristobal because he can "recruit"

Fake *** fans. Giving props to every swinging diq but the team they claim to love.

These "fans" sure can make the weather fair.
 
Brad Kaaya has a good enough for college and the NFL. It isn't the first thing you would bring up about him. It isn't as good as Stephen Morris, Kyle Wright, Brock Berlin, Kenny Kelly, Craig Erickson, or Vinnie Testaverde. That being said it's better than Dorsey's and Jacory's and again good enough for the NFL. Kaaya's problem has never been his arm strength. What Kaaya brings is accurate passing and limited interceptions. What Kaaya lacks is he is sometimes shy about making more risky throws and trusting his receivers. He isn't a guy that will throw into double coverage even if there is a window. He seems to be better a that this year, but I don't think our first 3 opponents are the right ones to gage him or anyone on.
 
borron y cuenta nueva, spanish for fresh start and forget the past

good coaching should harness and maximize talent. kaaya has not had that. i think he's an elite talent that has yet to live up to his potential, which is not to say he's not done great things here already. he has many things to improve and i saw one thing he improved. i've been complaining that his play action pass are not credible because they are so poor. but i saw two of the them today that sold the LBs and safeties real good. that's new and improved. with more coaching, he'll only get better.

by the way, he just moved up to number 3 or so in most TDs thrown at the U, and that was with james coley and al golden. that alone should quiet the naysayers
 
People can say Kaaya is a good college QB without having a huge arm.

He doesn't have a huge arm. It's ok.

About 6 out of 10 on arm strength meter.

Plenty good enough for college.

May be a factor at the NFL though.
 
Richards actually slowed down for that long ball over the top. About two steps. If he hit him full speed it was 6.

His arm strength is fine but it's not his game

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.

You are way wrong on that throw...Coley is running an out...Kaaya DOESN'T throw the ball hard purposely to give Coley a chance to adjust and make the catch and run....SMH!!!

Nah it's about an 7.5 or 8/10
 
Big arm is the most overrated qb quality. You want 1. Accuracy 2. Accuracy 3. Touch 4. Football smarts 5. Pocket presence 6. Leadership 7. Arm strength arm has to be strong enough to throw the out route, which kaaya can do. You don't really see 80 yard bombs in the NFL very often. Maybe they take 2-3 shots a game. Rest is short to intermediate, which Brad does very well
 
He definitely has a strong enough arm to play in the NFL. But I still think that pre draft he will receive a lot of criticism for his arm strength just like Jared Goff did.

Please be careful Andrew, you might get "banned" if you don't suck off Kaaya on this board.

He also overthrew receivers 2 or 3 times last game. It's knowing how much power to put into a throw, not just throw as hard as you can

Totally man. If you think Kayaa has the arm strength to make all the throws he needs, you are basically blowing him. I mean you almost literally have his ***** in your mouth if you think his arm isn't a wet noodle.
 
Let's recap.

FAU made him uncomfortable. He got happy feet. Made bad throws. Made bad decisions.

App St. did not make him uncomfortable. Did not get happy feet. Made most throws. Made less bad decisions.

Bye week prediction: He will be as perfect as some make him out to be. Brock will report on it trying to be on the right side of a CIS controversy.

I look forward to seeing him improve throughout the season.
 
No qb expert but just watched the highlights. Had to be one of his top 5 performances in his career here. Made some really nice throws.

The throw was drawn up for the corner but, since stacy was so wide open, brad conservatively put it over the hash and Stacy had to adjust to the ball. He has plenty of arm strength but he's been playing a little anxious of late. He's clearing getting more confidence each game and kids need to just catch the ball when he gets it there. Brad is not completely confident yet, but he's getting there.
