  1. I am talking arm strength. Murray has a top 5 NFL arm today. Mayfield is a notch below that, but you don’t get drafted at 1 overall as a short QB unless you can sling it. 

    I'm starting to think maybe NFL GMs aren't actually dumber than most fans.

     

    Also, to be clear, Murray does not have a weak arm. He has decent to good arm strength but an extremely quick release that helps tremendously. But he does not have a "++" arm in terms of velocity. Of course that's the most overrated quarterback attribute so it really doesn't matter in the end, but y'all are still either blind or nuts. Or both.

  2. He’s got great arm strength. His grade for arm strength for the MLB is low because of the fact that he never gets to work on it.
    There’s still a ton of projection involved with Murray because scouts know they aren’t seeing him at his best. He has spent much of the spring splitting time between baseball and spring football practice, where he was battling for the Sooners’ starting quarterback job.“ —baseball America 
    Baseball America actually has him at 30 right after the draft and mlb.com at a 40. All this goes up if he were to commit to baseball full time. The dude plays QB in Riley’s offense where he throws the ball a ton, even in the spring during baseball season. If he played receiver his arm strength would be above average due to the fact he’s not having to work on his football throwing motion practically year round along with baseball. 
    So your argument is that he has great arm strength and your supporting evidence is that he's been graded as below average and way below average on arm strength and the other supporting argument is that his arm strength isn't good because he plays football, that's how you know he has good arm strength.

    Your entire post is nonsensical. Playing football didn't stop John Elway, Shea Morenz, or basically any other quarterback ever from having a cannon on the baseball field.

    Murray has a really good arm dude

    Yes, he does, because it's accurate and he throws a very catchable ball (including deep throws). It is not ++ strength especially when compared to other NFL prospects. There's a reason his baseball scouting report had 4, below average, for arm strength.

    Because top 3 classes aren’t in the same realm as top 10 classes. I know, new car smell blah blah.  Same thing the ags were saying about the ‘18 class. Guess we’ll have to see how ‘20 goes to really find a trend on who’s doing what

    No, why do you care what general fans who don't follow things closely think about a "late flip" that really isn't a late flip. Do you think top prospects and coaching staffs don't actually know what's going on? You basically seem to care a whole lot about what non-serious fans think and I'm asking why. It has zero bearing on our program's success, so why do you care? Does it make you sad or mad or something when people say bad things about Texas?
