He got plenty of snaps here last year and even at the beginning of this year. He sucks

They were having him run deep routes and asking him to separate which has never been his strength. He has caught most jump balls and fades they’ve thrown him though.

In my book, they occupy the same category of arm strength.  Good enough to get the job done, weak enough to make you wish there was more juice a couple times per game.

Difference is that Foles is a passing QB and Hurts isn't.

Not even close, it's a pretty easy thing to judge a QBs arm.  Can they throw an out route or not.  If yes, look at their deep ball.  If not, they don't have an NFL arm.  Foles can throw an out and has a beautiful deep ball and touch to make just about every throw.  Hurts can't throw an out route, so we don't need to look any further.  Just for science though, he's under thrown every pass attempt over 30 yard so far this year.  So....

Nick Foles doesn't under throw a majority of his mid range balls.  Nick has a good NFL arm, it's not elite but he has a more than good enough one.

I think Hurts is Dak in terms of arm strength.

I think it’s pretty average. But, he’s smart and knows where he wants to go with it early (for the most part).

Daks arm is much stronger.

I’ve seen Nick Foles since he was in college living out in Arizona. Talking to some of the Arizona wildcat coaches from that era. His arm strength was never the problem. It’s not a cannon but you’ve seen him in Philadelphia it’s never been the problem at the nfl level. His problem even at Arizona was consistency from game to game. He was a first round pick entering his senior season in 2011. I believe ESPN had him as a third team all American prior to the season. He started off really hot then got really cold in the middle of the season then heated up again towards the end of the season and then I’m the bowl game just completely fe apart. Nick Foles biggest issue has always been erratic play. Even in his time at Arizona. It’s why he fell to the third round.

To Nick Foles’ credit he also has improved not backpedaling when there’s pressure. In his first dance with the Eagles there were times where he would start backpedaling and just throw the ball off his back foot. When he came back the second time he was much better at stepping into throws and taking the hit and trying to deliver it. I haven’t watched enough of his Chicago games to know if that stayed consistent and he’s just not played very well

Ah the backpedalling.  That made me irate with AR.  Aside from injuries (which may have contributed to this), Kolb's #1 reason for failure was incessant backpedaling.  He didn't have the arm to overcome it.

That failure was fresh in our minds...then 2012 roles around and Foles was doing the same damn thing.  I doubt anyone would coach that, but they certainly weren't doing much to prevent it.

Mahomes backpedals too...but he's obviously got the arm, release, and generational talent to make it work.

Since we're talking arm strength, how does Hurts arm strength compare to everybody's favorite QB Nick Foles?

I’d give a slight edge to Foles 

Foles has a much better throwing arm than Hurts.

Yup- he goes from elite to mediocre to bad.

Agree

You people are high AF no way Hurt's arm is worse than Foles.

Hopefully he has a solid off-season workout routine, studies, learns and comes into camp ready to go. 

Pretty uninspiring half if you’re a WFT fan; they seem to be very tight.  The Eagles are just short on talent again.  The defense shows up at home again — if they played half as inspired on the road they’d be a top 10 defense 

Arm strength isn't a strength for Hurts, but it's not his biggest problem...not having any experience or skillset to move an offense via passing is.

In fairness in 2014 when the oline wasn’t very good at the start of the season, Nick would throw a lot of balls off his backfoot and while backpedaling. It was a big issue. But the reason why was he was afraid of the amount of pressure early in that season because the oline was a mess. I give him credit when he came back he would take some shots but hardly ever threw off his backfoot.

So he’s not breaking Jefferson’s record?

Kolb couldn’t play that was his problem. Basically stole money.
