Omar said Tua's arm still isnt back

What a lot of people overlook in regards to Tua’s supposedly lack of arm strength is the fact Tua is right handed. It was his father who made him throw the ball left handed because he is left handed and he wanted his son to be left handed too..
While Tua has certainly developed into an accurate passer throwing left handed and can make all the throws necessary in the NFL. It just makes me wonder how much more velocity he would have on his throws if he actually had learned to pass with his right arm.

Tua's arm is stronger than Pennington's arm was and is definitely on par or slightly stronger than Brees' arm was in his prime.

It’s not on Brees level, more like Pennington’s level in his prims.

Arm strength is vastly overrated.

Marino NEVER had a big arm, but he was deadly accurate and the quickest release of all time.

Tua has the accuracy and instinct needed. Plus he showed he can take care of the football.

We just need Waddle and Fuller to get out there and create some separation and the kid will find his rhythm and torch defenses.

Omar is a nerd and so is any Fins fan who is ready to give up on TuaMan.

Having a great arm is not as important as many other factors when it comes to being a great NFL QB. That is why Joe Montana, Drew Brees, Tom Brady and many other successful QB’s are considered great QB’s even though they didn’t have the strongest arms.

As far as your comment about Marino not having a big arm is concerned. You must have been watching a different Marino than I watched. Because the Marino I watched had one of the strongest arms in NFL history. Yet it was his ability to read defense, his quick release, his ability to move in the pocket, and his accuracy that made him the QB he was. Not the fact he also happened to have a cannon for an arm.

Couldn’t find consecutive years, but in 2004 Drew Brees was ranked in the top five at number Four, let’s talk about this more when he’s in the top 10

Who came up with this list?
 
This is insane - Flores just told us Tua physically looks good. Take his word on it not Omar's.

It's the mental part and speed parts of the game that Tua MUST improve upon.

He's got accuracy and a quick release - that more than makes up for lacking a bazooka. Quick processing is the missing link and a slow one will make any throw look a step slow. On time and accurate, that's what we need.

We got creamed at Buffalo because they knew how to jump our rudimentary offense. They pinned their ears back and played on our side of the line of scrimmage. Seemed that there were 12 guys out there.
