Whose Noodle Arm Will Cost His Team More?

BostonNut · 07-22-2022, 12:59 PM

Mac or Tua?

JeremyNick · 07-22-2022, 01:13 PM

Next trust a QB with a 3 letter name.

Whodatiz · 07-22-2022, 01:14 PM

Matt Ryan.

asujbl · 07-22-2022, 01:15 PM

Tua

His team is built around him not having a noodle arm

Which sucks because I have a bunch of Tua cards and no Mac cards

I’m not comparing these guys to the GOAT, but for years people claimed Brady had a noodle arm. He did pretty well for himself, so let’s see what these guys can do.

Pretty sure Watson’s “noodle” is going to cost his team the most by far.

Adjusted for ASU grading that’s like an 8 out of 10!

Exactly, he said "next trust". It's a call to action to trust QBs with 3 letter names. Duh.

This guy gets its.

Siberian13 · 07-23-2022, 04:05 PM

Feels like both teams should be proud if they finished 8-9 or 9-8.

Tua makes throwing a football look hard.

gorillaz · 07-24-2022, 11:08 AM

Think Mac over Tua. Mac has no weapons at all. A worn out Devante Parker and Jakobi Meyers, and two currently average TEs

sfguy21 · 07-24-2022, 07:49 PM

I know its not part of the poll, but I'm just chiming in to say that Jimmy G's noodle arm cost us 1 if not 2 Super Bowls and his own job.

This will be the make or break season. His injury should be fully recovered. Time to show up.

And Matt Ryan and his noodle arm will walk right into the Hall of Fame, like it or not. Probably on the first ballot.

Arm strength is great but it’s an overrated metric. The list of all time great QBs who had “noodle” arms is much longer than the one of guys with a cannon. Mac and Tua may or may not end up great but they have stronger arms than 99.99% of people to ever play the game. You can’t become an NFL starting QB with a truly weak arm.

Marino, Favre, Rodgers all have some of the strongest arms ever and between the three have 2 super bowl wins. Brady and Montana, both of which have been called noodle arms at times have 11 and are considered the two best ever. This is a time period stretching from the early 80s to current day. Arm strength is great but it’s one of many metrics.

We're getting less particular about our food comparisons. I used to hear Ty Detmer referred to as "chicken armed." Let's have some standards, people.

Even Hill won't be able to help Tua.

Definitely. If not, dump Tua and dangle Reek to any free agent QBs out there to entice them to sign. The Dolphins will have plenty of cap space to sign any QB if they don’t extend/resign Tua.
