from all reports and quotes from the WRs - it would seem that RGIII is showing that he has great touch and velocity with his passes at OTAs
just like a baseball player throws a ball on a rope from 3rd or deep in the hole with seemingly little effort a QB learns the proper technique of getting a ball where it has to be with either velocity or touch
some have bettter spirals than others - never having actually played - I would imagine that has more to do with hand size |

I was just wondering, because sometimes people say "so and so has no arm" and then they throw a 60 yard bomb to someone in a game.
So is it Technique, or Arm Strength? |
Having a strong arm def makes things easier. However there are weaker armed QB's who have great anticipation and vision. They can see where the openining will be, anticipate the throw (throw it early) and negate the need of a rifle arm to fit it in a tight space.
However, if you have great anticipation, vision and a rifle arm, that's awesome too. LOL
Arm strength really helps with throwing out passes. |

Wow! A thread that started in 2005!
I'll add that Billy Kilmer was said to have small hands, which was why he sometimes threw ugly wobblers. |
