Arm strength really isn't something that can be taught though.

Yeah i watched the Ravens closely only a couple times this year and clearly was blinded by Jacksons running ability and his decision making. Two things he really has down pat.
However, I never noticed how many "flutterballs" he throws when it comes to much over 25 yards.
He needs to works on his mechanics if he wants to take that next step because if he continues to throw like he did yesterday, he will become an INT machine.
He is still a really impressive athlete and fun to watch when he runs the ball, but "elite QB" is not where he is at....yet.
