That's a dangerous oversimplification. Arm talent directly creates explosive plays, and Mercer's offense needs those to compete. Last season, the Bears averaged 7.1 yards per pass attempt, which demands a QB who can challenge defenses vertically. A "game manager" won't cut it in the SoCon where you have to match scores lmao. The competition is absolutely about finding the guy who can make every throw, not just the safe one.
