On Sirius/XM, the ex-Giants quarterback turned analyst said that Stanford's Andrew Luck is a bit overhyped because his arm strength may not be there.
I believe arm strength is overrated. Look at JaMarcus Russell- that guy can throw the ball a mile and at 26, he's out of the league. Ex-Cal QB and current Raider Kyle Boller could throw a football on his knees from the 50 yard line through the goal post. Boller is a marginal backup in the league.
Joe Montana didn't have the strongest arm around, but he was a leader and accurate.
One thing I've seen with Luck is that he can roll to the left(he's a right hander) and throw across his body to the right with accuracy and zing.
Simms was an excellent quarterback and he's generally a very good analyst with an ornery side to him. I believe he's incorrect in his assessment of Luck's arm.
Stanford has had a history of great quarterbacks- Frankie Albert to John Brodie to Jim Plunkett to John Elway and now Andrew Luck.
