Message: [QUOTE="orangenirvana, post: 1422322, member: 156"] Is there a correlation between weight and arm strength? And if so, is Long forever doomed to be 165 pounds? Long should have never been playing in 2014. Despite that, at no point during his time playing QB did I think "Oh man, his ball just doesn't have the velocity to make it at this level." Long already has the prerequisite "arm strength" and that will only improve as he gets stronger. He looked as good as any QB we've recently had against Wake (ACC Rookie of the Week in his first ever start) and NC State (300+ yards passing). I just think it's dumb that many fans here are already writing him off simply because he was forced to play in a crappy offense before he should have and his underdeveloped 165 pound body seemingly broke down. Yet these same people will call one of our 2-star recruits magical. [/QUOTE]
