I usually don't give a shit about "NFL arm" when I watch college games.Tequilla said:At what point did you watch Keith Price throw a ball and go "wow, he's got a NFL arm?"
At what point did you watch Keith Price anticipate a WR coming open on a crossing route and throwing to a spot before the WR came open?
Did you ever consider that perhaps the reason Sark fell so in love with the WR screen game was because that took advantage of what Price did well (throw an accurate ball) and eliminate the need for him to do the things he doesn't do well?
My guess is that Price's arm is comparable to Russell Wilson's arm.
Jack Lockner has an "NFL arm" and he has no business being a starting QB in the NFL.
Accuracy >>>>> arm strength -
I can't believe some of you actually think Price is an NFL QB. Price is as overrated by some of you here as Locker was on doogman. He's a decent college QB.

An NFL quarterback? Seriously, look at the names on NFL rosters right now. Most "NFL quarterbacks" are fucking terrible. Price is at least fucking terrible.RoadDawg55 said:I can't believe some of you actually think Price is an NFL QB. Price is as overrated by some of you here as Locker was on doogman.

I agree about accuracy >>> arm strength, but Russell Wilson has a way stronger arm than Price and throws a great deep ball.TierbsHsotBoobs said:

I'd take him over at least half the guys identified in this article:

When a player regresses , or stagnates it is usually a function of coaching. His lack of durability and measureables are a large part of the reason he is not at the combine ..Mike_Honcho said:KP was good as a sophomore, but his play regressed consistently from there.
He is not an NFL QB. He never could be competitive throughout an entire 12 game NCAA season, why would he all of the sudden bring his A game to 16 regular game? -
I think Price could be a decent backup for a few years, but his arm strength doesn't compare to Wilson's.RoadDawg55 said:

My concern is that Price was constantly hurt at UW. He doesn't have the elusiveness or strength that Wilson does to survive as a smaller QB. He's going to get knocked out early.

"Ugliness
29. Derek Anderson, Carolina Panthers
30. Charlie Whitehurst, San Diego Chargers
31. Graham Harrell, Green Bay Packers
Anderson's 2007 Pro Bowl campaign was mere illusion. He has worked himself out of two starting jobs and looms as one of the league's shakiest reserves. Whitehurst has floated from San Diego to Seattle, and back again. Nice for a Hobbit, not so much for Charlie. Harrell was an epic train wreck last preseason. If he sees the field, it only will mean sadness in Green Bay." -
He will get to a training camp either as a really low draft pick or FA. I see him in an arena playing half length fball or in a cold, northern locale like Montréal or Edmonton within a couple years...or doing something else.RoadDawg55 said:I can't believe some of you actually think Price is an NFL QB.

QB's that are Price's size have a hard enough time making it in the league. A guy his size, with limited mobility, and terrible pocket presence and feel (certainly could improve with coaching, but I think part of it is natural) have even less of a chance. If he ran a 4.5 it would be different, but he doesn't. Almost every time he gets touched he goes down.
Price will get a chance at a camp, but the smart money is on him never making an NFL roster. You never know though. If Matt McGloin and Jeff Tuel can make teams, then Price could in the right situation. He's pretty far down the totem pole for rookie QB's though. Next year, there will be a whole new batch. It won't be easy.
