What scares me about that pic is that is called a "deep ball" when it is a pass 20-25 yards downfield.
Floater after floater from RW no matter the distance of the throw.
People are overreacting to the arm strength. His arm strength is plenty as long as he throws spirals, is efficient and manages the game well. I know ideally you want a Stephen Morris arm with a Ken Dorsey brain, but they can't all be like that. I'd rather have an efficient guy who can throw 20-30 yard darts consistentyl than a guy who can throw 70 yard bombs but can't manage an intermediate game.
I'd take that to, if they were 20-30 yard darts, but they aren't.
I've never seen RW throw a dart.
RW has his strengths.
He seems to be mature, knows the play book, plays within himself, is relatively accurate in practice.
I will give you an analogy. AJ Highsmith, Kacy Rodgers and Jimmy Gaines were all mature and smart players. They all knew the play book. They were all senior leaders and didn't make many mental errors.
Again, I'm hoping RW becomes Steve Walsh, but for the team's sake and for the future health of his receivers, he needs to start actually throwing some darts.
Those floaters may get there in practice, but games are not practice. In real games those floaters are going to get picked off or batted away, and our wr's are going to get their chests caved in from safeties and linebackers who will have that extra time to close, because the passes aren't close to being lasers.
