i'm not debating his arm strength. However, he does seem to prefer the shorter pass.

He prefers wins to losses too.

Re: You guys and the Trent Edwards arm strength issue

The system is built around the shorter pass. What we've seen so far this season however is Edwards waiting for the longer route to develop, and that coming more into his game.

A gun is great but if you can not make the short throws or read a defense it is little use!

Ryan Leaf has the strongest arm I ever saw!

Yes it is a west coast style offense predicated on short quick routes and hitting the WRs in stride. This offense is perfect for Edwards!!!

We have basically one guy on our team that can go deep which is Lee Evans. Pretty hard for Trent to throw alot of deep balls without getting alot of picks. This is exactly why Losman struggled.

Edwards has to be patient and pick his spots. The Jags admitted that the one play that Evans beat them on was the only mistake they made all day covering him. Pretty awesome that Trent made them pay for it.

When Kelly was here he had a nice mix of receivers that could go deep.

Re: You guys and the Trent Edwards arm strength issue

What is this obsession with arm strength? The guy can fling it down the field well enough when needed but his headwork is superb all the time, which is far more important in my book. That 4th quarter drive in Jax was a thing of beauty. he shredded them in the flat and across the middle with dink and dunks and when they adjusted to stop that, he nailed Evans with a 37 yard pass. Beautiful pass right into Lee's arms.

Thank you.....I have been watching the isue on several board and guess what I found?

Losman fans that can't give it up!

Check it out!

:
i think the Losman issue has been officially put to bed.

Edwards is doing a great job thus far leading our offense.

Re: You guys and the Trent Edwards arm strength issue

As I remember, even Jim Kelly didn't have a cannon - that worked out ok.

He's our QB, he has a very very good arm, throws a nice ball, shown that he is accurate, smart and has very good pocket presence.

Re: You guys and the Trent Edwards arm strength issue

Every QB in the NFL can chunk the ball 50 yards down field or he wouldn't be in the NFL; that doesn't mean that he has a "strong arm." Arm strength is measured on velocity on throws between 10-15 yards, based on that Edwards does not have a "strong arm." I don't know why people continue to have a problem with this, you don't have to have a freaking Howitzer for an arm to be a good QB in the NFL. Edwards is efficient, he's not a gunslinger, and that's perfectly fine with me.

Brady started dumping the ball in his first couple of years. They are doing the same thing with Cassel.
