    B+ Throwing Power?

    Scouting a QB that:

    -Will have the Superstar Dev Trait (Week 3 Story says his dad was a College coach. He knows the game better than some coaches)

    -Has B+ Throw Power, B+ Throw on Run, and B+ Short Accuracy

    -West Coast QB

    -22 Years old

    -Projected/Talent is Early 1st Round

    Would you take a QB in the top 10 who will have anywhere from 86-89 throw power? The skill is not conducive to upgrades.

    If you have any experience with a QB that had a weak arm, please let me know!

    Those stats are to good to pass up imo. Especially if QB is a need. Even bonus if his awareness is already high (for a rookie) and he's somewhat mobile.

      I'm using Watson in my 'chise. Went from Dalton to him, so I don't know what it is like to have a QB with a decent arm.

      That being said, I haven't had any problems.

      Who dey!

          according to a scouting tool i use. it says for scouting QB

          must have B+ Throw Power(or better), B Short(or better), B Medium or Deep(or better).

          then the QB will almost certainly be a 78 or higher overall.

            Those stats are solid for a West Coast QB, but if you plan on using the QB in a different scheme I'm not as enthused. THP is one of the most expensive stats to raise for a QB, so I like to scout it in the A range.

              Personally the minimum throw power I need to run my offense, which uses a lot of intermediate distance passing, is 88.

              In M17, my offense completely fell apart when Tony Romo regressed to 86 THP; he couldn't make the tight window throws anymore. Fortunately I had drafted his successor, who had 95 THP, and once I made the switch my offense picked up right where it had left off the previous season.

              I'm mostly doing fine with Marcus Mariota this year (89 THP), but there are still some tight window throws he just can't make.

                I only scout A THP as well. When they get older and THP decreases they may have accumulated enough XP to prop it up for a year or two.

                  Would I take a 22 year old Superstar development QB that early?

                  Yes, yes I would. He could have B- Throwing Power and I'd still draft him with that age/development lol

                    Throwing power is the most important attribute for a qb. To me it outweighs everythjng else by a long way. I have never failed to make any drafted qb into a star if they had a tp and they played. It is too hard to upgrade to draft a b+.

                      I had Alex Smith as my backup in year 4 and his throw power had gone down to 84 and I was still successful but I didn't try and stretch the field too much either. Granted I already play a west coast style offense and prefer accuracy over throw power but that's just my own personal preference. I think you can be successful but like another poster mentioned it all comes down to your own personal scheme in the end.

                        Just wanted to say this is a really excellent thread. It highlights how in this aspect of the game, at least, you have to make what amounts to "real" football decisions with regards to QB evaluation.

                        Kudos.

                          Appreciate the kudos my man, but I will admit, I really needed the advice lol.

                          As many of you have said, scheme matters when dealing with a QB like this and I can confidently say that my offense is a true west coast offense. Very few deep shots. More of an emphasis on high completion passes, moving the chains, and avoiding turnovers.

                          I really like this player and don’t want to get caught up in arm strength, but I do think that arm strength matters when squeezing the ball into tight windows when throwing the intermediate passes.

                          The Superstar Dev trait ensures he will be incredible in almost every other aspect of his game. I just need to come to grips that he won’t be Brett Favre, but more like Joe Montana.

                          Thanks for the advice everyone!

                            Simple answer as well as cost is low for upgrades the younger he is to spend early on arm strength if his accuracy and awareness are already high.

                            If you can take home OROY/OPOY/MVP/Pro Bowl you can move the needle real quick.

                              I would actually much prefer the latter.
