Agreed.  I saw a video one time when offensive guru / former NFL coach Bill Walsh talked about how so many teams fall into the trap of falling in love with arm strength.  At the combine [which has admittedly changed over the years], he laughed about how some teams talk themselves into QBs over dumb reasons, like a guy being able to chuck a football 50+ yards from their knees.  His take was that when is a QB ever going to throw from their knees, so who cares?  His other take was that yes, arm strength is somewhat important, but as long as a guy hits the minimum threshold, he sets that criteria aside and doesn't worry about it.  He was much more worried about their ability to process information quickly, and accuracy in terms of short and intermediate throws.

So whenever I hear a QB described, and all anybody talks about is their arm strength, I know that it likely means that they lack their other attributes Walsh was talking about.  And I think that's what we're seeing with Rickie Collins.
