Readers Feel a Draft: It’s Not Refreshing

What’s with the concern over Cade McNown’s arm strength? The NFL is loaded with bazooka-armed athletes who never develop the psyche and heart to win ball games. Obviously the intangibles are more difficult to develop than the arm strength.

Are all NFL players expected to be physically maximized when they get to the league? Why do the teams bother with weight rooms and strength coaches if development is not expected over a career?

The bad news is that the NFL pre-preseason with T.J. Simers is underway.
