Re: Bulger and Ferotte
In the immortal words of mike martz, who at the minimum knows as much about quarterbacks as any man alive or dead, arm strength is overated in a big way. The keys to success for a qb are accuracy, brains and toughness.
I agree with nicks points, but also note that on many long td passes the ball isnt in the air as far as the stat sheet appears. Many of the long completions are catch and runs. This is what makes accuracy so critical. If you hit curtis or holt in the right spot with a step on the defender, it will often be a very very long gain without the need for a very deep throw.
Martz used to say that the key with the qb and arm strength was the ability to throw the deep out, which i think bulger can do just fine, rather than the bomb.
