Colts arm strength is below average for "nfl standards". At fan appreciation day, I watched as both of the Qb's were taking turns throwing similar routes. JC's I would describe as a laser, its almost like he is throwing downhill, and it takes very little effort. Colt's Id describe as lollipops, because he had to throw it that much higher to hit the same spot on the route. Colt does have some "gunslinger" in him ala Favre, but like the others have said, Favre has/had a cannon. Your physical abilities only take you so far in the NFL, the great Qb's clearly have a mental edge. Only time will tell if he and/or JC have that "it" that makes ordinary into extraordinary. JC has all the tools, nothing more physical you could ask for, other than learning how to slide. Colt has a long ways to go, to overcome his physical limitations he will have to work that much harder, and be that much smarter.

I will say that I felt like he took a step forward in the last preseason game, hopefully that carries over into next year. His postgame comment of "yeah baby, no interceptions" gives me hope that he understands the turnovers arent worth the risks. Give be steady before flashy anyday.
