Who had the strongest arm in NFL history?


major

Hard to say. Favre's WR group said his passes could easily break a finger if you weren't ready. Russell's arm was ridiculous. Jeff George was the white version of Russell. Vick could throw a ball 70 yards too, I remember seeing it on one of those offseason QB comps they used to have. Cardale Jones has a cannon. Marino had a gun too.

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.

He could throw the ball!

Here's one you young whippersnappers wouldn't think of:  Sammy Baugh.

 

Baugh could throw the balloons that masqueraded as footballs for well over 50 yards in his day.  If he had the modern football no telling how far he could have chucked it.

I personally think it should be settled by gathering Elway, Cunningham, Russell, George, and Allen and having them chuck this SOB. The summit of mid 90’s technology and every 12 yr olds ego boosting best friend.
