My question.. which I framed poorly was directed at the lack of arm strength.. basically not stepping through with zip on the ball that Greg stated was lacking.
Most QB's without a hose for an arm.. need to put more than just their arm into it, footwork and stepping through a major component in that.

His arm strength was a big let down.
We knew he didn't have a cannon when he came into the league. One of the big reasons he fell so far. I hoped McCarthy and his coaching staff would've done something about it, but if this is all they can get out of him, it's not that good.
On short completions, he just didn't seem to have any zip on the ball. It was decent, good enough to make some completions, but not something you would throw into tight windows with.
On the long balls, he seems to have to put everything he has into it, effecting his accuracy.
That was my only problem with the deep ball on 4th and 1, as well. You have Flynn in there, someone who has a weak arm and is under quite some pressure in his first meaningful NFL time. The chances that he completes that pass aren't that high.
