I hear you on the out route throws, seeing as they're the hardest throws in football.russ is a better example for this, currently (at least to me).. dude can still get the ball deep, unlike brees.. but doesnt have a cannon
but for me, i look at arm strength as the guys who can gun a 10-20 yard out outside of the hash marks.. or who dont have to kinda rainbow a deep pass, like brees.. those guys where they can be late on reads and just gun it in
lamar is also a great example of improving his arm talent, while not having a gun.. but arm strength or lack thereof caught up with him on couple plays in that tennesse game.. but he did have some beauties later on
And no doubt arm strength is imperative in making those throws. but you can still have a guy will a very strong arm who cant hit those throws because of timing.
Even Peyton Manning who had the arm talent of a 12 year pop warner QB at the end was able to hit a few tough throws in the Superbowl because of things outside of arm strength...
