Pete Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Kordell Stewart threw one of the longest passes I have ever seen (70+ yards?). I would say Aaron Rogers has best arm in NFL today 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 I’d Jamarcus or George. Allen likely the heir to the throne. Stafford is effortless as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanley Lombardi Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 James "Howitzer" Harris of the Buffalo Bills. (O.K., he was never called "Howitzer," but he should have been!) He was the first black QB to ever start a season (1969) opener in the NFL. He was the first QB I ever saw who 'flicked' the ball, effortlessly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My best friend in the third grade was Kemp’s son and I used to walk back to his house on occasion after school. It was very cool, and he was my hero. But Lordy, even as a kid I knew you can only run so far backwards and expect something good to come from it! I remember some crazy thing from JF like a 47 yard pass for a 4 yard gain. It stuck with me. Now, how are they as people? Different question! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerJ Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Jamarcus Russell, proving that a great arm does not a quarterback make. Maybe it was a bit of an exageration, but it was said he could throw the ball the length of a football field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victory Formation Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 I don't think Jeff George and Jamarcus Russell count. Arm strength should be also determined by accuracy and ball placement as well, not just throwing 70 yard Hail Marys. To me it's Aaron Rodgers, it takes arm strength to make those tight throws in insanely small windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2003Contenders Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Jim Drunkenmiller. Dude had a cannon but no touch.

You lean towards who is a better thrower of the ball. Then there is reading a defense. And being a leader. Many factors go into being a great QB. That’s why Josh Allen scares me. Great arm. Can he play QB? No idea. Edited March 29, 2018 by Augie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can he play QB? No idea. Josh Allen's excellent arm strength can only be viewed as a positive if you're looking logically and his future as an NFL QB. There are a bunch of other factors, and he could turn out to be a total bust, but it would be a mistake to let strong armed failures of the past discount Josh Allen's potential as a QB. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I don't mean to rain on anybody's parade sorry, I just have to imagine that simply due to training advancements, supplementation, exercise science etc. that a strong arm in 2018 is just completely beyond a strong arm in 1970.

Hey, I’m not ignoring his ridiculous ceiling. Nor his floor. I don’t pretend to know, and that’s why I hope we have the best scouts and FO! I’m praying this class is loaded and we get a good one relatively cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
