Many a big-armed quarterback has failed to make it in the NFL.
That's because there is a lot of information for a quarterback to process in a short amount of time once the ball is snapped. And throwing the ball a long way doesn't make up for not recognizing what's happening on the field.
However, NFL Network analyst Dan Orlovsky believes Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has a bright future because of his football smarts.
Chiefs fans know all about Mahomes' strong arm (he once threw a ball 85 yards), and that's impressed Orlovsky, too.
