If you've got a teammate who played with Matthew Stafford comparing your arm strength to his, then I think it's safe to say that's not going to be an issue.

McCarthy definitely had a few deep passes in college that were a little short, so I’m assuming that is where the arm strength thing comes from, but those always looked to me like they were more of a technique and deep ball accuracy issue than arm strength.

How do we square the comments about a supposed lack of arm talent i.e. speed/strength for McCarthy, with his combine numbers, where he threw the ball as fast as Josh Allen did? Those comments about his arm talent don't really make sense to me, I thought the knock on him was always lack of touch/feel.

I wonder how many sports talking heads, looking at you Colin Coward, actually watch the players they criticize as opposed to how many just regurgitate what others say? And then how many have either recency or past bias colored in their comments.
