I'll elaborate, here.
Let's compare two throws by Tua and Huntley. Both of these have very good velocity...right up where they'll need to be in the NFL.
The first one is the ONE throw I can find where Tyler Huntley actually pumped that ball full of NFL zip. The rest of his throws tend to come off very Joe Burrow-ish. But slow the video down and look at Huntley's body language on the throw. He had that big elongated step, really hung that one up there, and his body snapped like a wet snake. Basically he plugged his whole heart and soul into it to get that velocity.

Contrast that to Tua's circumstances below.
He's being pressured and has to hold the ball forward, take some short and choppy steps up into the pocket, and then has to sort of brace for impact immediately off the throw, leaving the motion truncated. He didn't put everything he had into this ball but he achieved the same-or-better velocity.
People question whether Tua's got the ideal arm for an NFL quarterback. And they're not completely off-base. His arm would not stand out among NFL starters and would probably be bottom-half among peers.
So what does it say when you can look at a guy and show that he's a clear notch below Tua? That's one of my issues with Joe Burrow...and the same applies to Tyler Huntley. Although, to be fair, at least with Huntley I've seen it once. I've never seen an NFL velocity from Burrow.
