Noodle arm nickname misplaced

[danmarino7051]

Ok. I looked it up. Allen at 62. I was way off.

Just stick to saying you were taking kph. lol

Pennington had a noodle arm, Tua does not...someone who says so loses credibility. That's whether you like him or not, he doesn't have a strong arm, but its plenty strong, and can hit deep throws.

I would like to see more zip passes than arching touch passes though at appropriate times...

feel best qb who uses both touch and power depending is burrow.. and theres a reason he is considered elite

after your last comment to me.. he cannot now. kph has been forever condemned ..

o7 kph.. it was good whilst it lasted, the dream is dead

I believe the info he is referring to was an article that showed the speed at which each Qb threw the football was equivalent to them throwing a baseball a certain speed.

So unless Tua is a 37 year old future hall of famer like Clayton Kershaw, 88 mph isn’t getting it done and that person wouldn’t even be drafted by a MLB team as a pitcher.

Some of you spread miss information and then others on here take that info as fact and run with it, propping Tua up!

No one out there throws a football 88 mph!!

Except you missed the part where no one took it as fact and the OP said he made a mistake.

Also, depending on what’s in his arsenal, plenty MLB teams would draft a pitcher with an 88 mph fastball. The average is around 92, so there are most likely quite a few throwing that now. Why are you spreading misinformation with that and with how to spell misinformation?

Maybe that equates to 102 mph. LOL. I wonder what Dan Marino's was?

 

[SF Dolphin Fan]

Didn't realize others had pointed it out before I posted. My bad.

No worries. Obviously, I was way, way off.

Dillon Gabriel made headlines leading up to the draft with a 75 MPH throw. Might’ve been 73 but pretty sure it was 75.

Wow. I wonder what Will Levis can throw it ?

Took this exclusive photo of the group who post here and who claim Tua has a noodle arm.

I remember reading that Tua threw the football at 88 miles per hour, which matched Tom Brady among others. I think Josh Allen was at 102, or something insane like that.

The point is, Tua’s arm is strong enough. It's more about accuracy, and ball placement, than arm strength most of the time.

In a vacuum, Tua is one of the best pure passers in the NFL. However, he does not have the same arm strength as guys like Allen and Mahomes in regards to throwing off platform. They can snap their wrist and get zip on a ball which allows them to throw on the run, throw while falling backwards, etc.

Tua cannot do that. In fact, every noodle arm throw you have ever seen him make can be traced back to footwork. If he can plant his feet and turn his hips his throws are elite. The second he gets happy feet or tries to throw off platform it is a floating duck.

Tua can make every NFL throw within the right system. He will never be an elite play extender though. McDaniel needs to put him, and the rest of the team, in the best position to succeed this year.

These facts were known in college and this regime still didn’t prioritize protection up front

Tua is an elite qb. It’s just the concussions that are an issue

I remember seeing that, too. It wasn’t accurate, however. I can’t remember who explained why his was that fast (there were other QB’s with speeds that high also and they were also false. ) I think those false measurements were measuring momentum at the time of release, or something like that, and not true air speed.

2 spots ahead of Josh Allen for Top 5 per PFF

Yeah for sure. His arm is misrated due to his recovery from his hip injury when he first came in the league. His velocity has noticeably improved years 2 and 3 in the league when his hip healed more fully. And his arm was never an issue in college.
