Rattler's Jump Pass

The biggest difference between Book and Rattler is arm talent. Nobody should question that Rattler has a top level NFL arm in terms of velocity and the ability to throw off platform from different arm angles. Book had a peashooter of an arm. It was obvious in college and even more glaring in his time with the Saints. In other words, one player has “potential” tools to be a quality NFL starter and the other had a backup at best caliber arm. Great arm strength isn’t the be all end all on its own, but it certainly disqualify someone that doesn’t have an NFL caliber arm.
You have to acknowledge the physical potential, agreed. But I also perceive a natural trend among us as fans to 'see the potential' and disregard negative flags / performance for our favourites, with the latter being greeted by the 'need to see more' rationale. Hence the reason I picked a fairly extreme comparison where, if someone 'saw the potential' in Book, they could call on similar excuses.
