I have re-watched the game 2x now and am a little surprised at the lack of arm strength Davis has.
First off, this is not to say he can't be highly successful, as we all know arm strength isn't the be-all end-all for a QB.
That said, Jerry's post the other day had me wondering (YAC) so I watched again.
Davis ball floats like few I have witnessed at this level. The crazy thing is it floats on even the shortest of patterns which is way guys aren't have the time to catch and separate.
There was a 3rd and one play where Davis play fakes and rolls right then throws back left for a big first down. I swear to you the ball was in the air for 10 seconds....or so it seemed.
Now Warner obviously didn't have a gun but he had impeccable timing, often throwing the ball well in advance of his guys head being turned around.
Davis doesn't have that trait, he's a see it, throw it guy. The ball he threw to Harkey was painful to watch again, and again. He should have seen in front of him and the throw was late and soft and had Harkey's cleat hit the ground he'd have torn his acl for sure.
All of which makes ANY comparison outside of same school, to Farve laughable. These two could not have more different skill sets and arm talents.
Again, so far so good but I can't see this kids arm working against the 3 defenses in the NFC west.
But as they say, time will tell.
Anyhow, just my thoughts on the matter.
