Doman was such a great competitor. Didn't have half the arm strength of Retzlaff

Doman was a 5th round pick. Not sure I would say he didn't have the half the

"Half" is probably the wrong word. Different tier of arm talent. Jake can hit

I think the NFL thinks/thought that Doman has better arm talent than

He'll reach another level by learning touch & developing the short passing game

CaliWG

Jake has a much stronger arm, I think Doman actually had better natural touch

His vision and understanding of what defenses are doing is night & day
