Is there any where we can go to look up what of the good QB's in history had a really good spiral ball vs. good QB's in history that didn't?

I ask because obviously I'm a Weeden fan and had heard that he will have success cause he throws a really tight spiral ball. Where other QB's will muscle the ball down the field having it wobble, Weeden's flies smooth through the air. It was discussed that where RGIII might be able to throw the ball farther on a windy day he might not due to the ball wobbling in the air vs. Weeden who can throw a tight spiral which will enable the ball to fly through the air easily.

I thought I had heard something like this yrs ago that you always want to look for a QB who throws a really tight spiral because they usually turn out to be really good QB's in the NFL.
