@ProFootballTalk: Report: Eagles nearly traded for Colin Kaepernick last year, backed out and tried to draft Russell Wilson Report: Eagles nearly traded for Kaepernick, wanted Wilson | ProFootballTalk

Wonder if they regret not getting him?

Hahahaa....ah, yea.

damn, well those were two of the best guys to get!

They missed out on two of the future stars at QB

I think Kaepernick is going to be a big star but I'm not quite sold on Wilson yet. I suppose if Brees can do it, Wilson can, but I don't like his size.

Brees is a better passer, although he doesn't have a cannon.

Brees doesn't? He has a very strong arm. Stronger than Wilson's.

 

[JDM]

Brees's arm strength is maybe a little above average. I would say Wilson has a stronger arm but is much less accurate.

Above Average??? You mean for a starter?

 

[deep9er]

Wilson seems much more effective when he escapes the rush? cause in this scenario someone is running freely downfield. to his credit, he's able to hit that big play. not that he can't pass at all from the pocket, but rather he beat us that way.

so think we'll have to sacrifice a little rush in exchange for keeping him inside.

No.

Brees has a rifle... Wilson has a Cannon....

Kaep has a cannon. Wilson has a rifle.

Brees has a pistol. He actually has one of the weakest arms in the NFL (among starters). I don't know where the "above average" comment came from.

 

[JDM]

I said maybe. He most certainly isn't better than that. The post I responded to was implying he had an actually strong arm.

Yes, but you categorized it as above average. I don't think that's even close to true.

Kaep, Wilson, Eli, Flacco, Cutler, Romo, Stafford, Luck, Geno, Manuel, Cutler, Roethlisberger, RGIII, Rodgers, Palmer, Ryan, Bradford, Tannehill, Pryor, Freeman, Vick, Rivers, Cam & Locker all easily have stronger arms than Brees' IMO. That's 24. and an argument could be made for others. Henne, Dalton, Weeden, etc.

Brees is very good. Strength of arm is an issue for lesser QB's
Wilson has a good arm and he is going to be a great QB.
Kaep has a good arm and is going to be a great QB.

I don't think strength of arm had anything to do with wins and losses this weekend.

I don't think anyone would deny those things, but the fact remains that Brees doesn't have an above-average arm in terms of strength.

 

[Flyingiguana]

brees would be perfect for andy reid. even without the strong arm he can still throw an accurate deep ball, but he's all about that quick release.
