Guest Sores Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Niners sources tell us (Pro Football Weekly) that WRs Brandon Lloyd and Arnaz Battle weren’t all that impressed with the passes thrown to them by Utah’s Alex Smith in an early-April private workout in Salt Lake City. According to both receivers, Niners QB Tim Rattay has a better arm than Smith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimD Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 But they didn't draft Smith for his arm strength. They drafted him because he took a higher level math class then the other quarterbacks. Didn't you know he is the smartest player ever to be drafted into the NFL. at least that's what was reported on espn during the draft. Other than that, yes he is a big fat puss.

'canes2004 Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 His lack of arm strength has been brought up before. But a combination of superior intelligence and a "feel for the game" has seemed to convince everyone that he can over come his inadequate arm strength. He'll be fine especially in a west coast type offense where he just needs to dink and dunk down the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushwacked Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Granted, the MWC isn't the NFL but I saw him play a couple games and never thought...."what a wussy arm." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimD Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 maybe one day he will be able to think the ball to his receivers in a fast gliding motion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizards Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 His being "smart" only means he thought with the right head in college....thinking is a step (however big or small), but it alone does not make an NFL QB....if that was the case then John Elway and Dan Marino would still be FA's in the league...in reality some teams could have them starting, uh hum!!!!@#$49ERS!!!@#$%^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedroz13 Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Pennington has no arm strength, and a lot of people seem to think he is something special. I'm not one of them, but just saying that arm strength isn't everything. Although as the #1 overall, you would expect him to have a solid arm.

TimD Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 (edited) Some scouts at the combine actually said when Smith threw the ball his arm would kweef. Edited April 27, 2005 by TimD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Love Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 I'll take Alex Smith, his "weak" arm, and great brain over Jeff George, his cannon arm, and two loose acorns rolling around in his head any day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimD Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 I wouldn't want the leader of my football team out on the field Kweefing out his arm. Come on now he's a dork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not an overpowering arm at all but a good field general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pancake Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Does everybody remember how high people where drafting Barlow last year? I wonder how far he drops in drafts this year? The Huddle had him as their 11th best RB with 1200 yds and 10 TDs (rush & rec)..... He ended up with 800 yds and 7 TDs. I just dont understand how he could be ranked that high last year...It will be more of the same for him this year...probably worse with the rookie QB under center.
