Was that ball on thrown on a line or did it have arc to it? His highlights don't have throws that test the arm of a QB. Saying he has a cannon is an overstatement if you're going off his highlights. His arm is fine but it doesn't look like a plus arm.
Richt has seen him live and said he has a strong arm. Perry said he can throw the ball 60+ yards. You cant lob the ball that far down the field.
So he has D1 arm? Is that what you're saying. That doesn't mean he has a plus arm. Matt Stafford has a strong arm. Pat Mahomes has a strong arm. Nothing on Perry's tape says he has a plus arm. The guy doesn't have to drive the ball once in those clips. No tight windows. No far hash comebacks. It isn't an insult to suggest he might not be the most physically gifted QB to ever play the game. His arm is more than fine. Calling it a cannon is hyperbole.
So richt doesnt know what a strong arm is? He was just imagining **** when he seen perry? Here is video of him not just "lobbing" deep balls.

Watch him "lob" a dime downfield to juedy.

I never used the word "lob" and that clip from Paradise Camp isn't evidence of driving a football down the field. If Perry couldn't make that throw he probably shouldn't be on the roster.
The first video shows him driving the ball through a tight window at the :27 mark.
