Who is Kirk Cousins?

I think too often "strong arm" is only looked at by how far a QB can heave a ball downfield, when it is really so much more. Making throws with zip on the ball, hitting WR's in stride. Those crossing patterns in the medium range where the WR is running towards sideline and the QB has to zip it into tight window.

All of that stuff is part of what makes up a strong arm. You watch Brady play in that Pats offense, and they throw as many short passes as any other offense, but Brady delivers the ball with zip where it needs to be in order for YAC to occur on almost every single catch, where as Cousins often times is throwing behind the WR, low to the ground, or in a spot where the ball catcher has to stop to catch it, therefore gets tackled right away. Is it due to lack of arm strength or still working on timing in the scheme? Could be some of both.
