Which NFL QB has the strongest arm?

pretty nice throw. don't think he has the strongest arm though

than he has to be top 3 for starting QB's (jamarcus doesn't count in my book since he's awful).

and instead you think it's...?

Because if not, it could be anybody.

That guy can flat out throw it.

.

.

than them all.

throws a really pretty deep ball. I like him, Cutler and Brady.

im sure vick still has a cannon too, but him and jamarcus aren't really QB's, not in my mind. They don't start for a reason.

had an amazing arm. He could throw a line drive 50 yards down the field. To bad, he had a 10 cent brain.

active starting QBs.

Quote:

...a sneak peek of some of its Madden 2011 Quarterbacks, and, with a “Throwing Power” rating of 97, Stafford shall now and forever be known as having the biggest and baddest of all the “laser, rocket arms” launching pigskins during the 2010 season.

I never said he was good. And that was sort of the point.

he makes 50-60 yard throws flat footed and some of the deep sideline throws he makes are just incredible

70+ yards.

In terms of velocity, Cutler is certainly up there.

with a 74 yard throw. Can't imagine how far he can throw it 2+ years into an NFL weight training program

is still up there as far as velocity. In his hayday there was nobody that threw it harder.

Jeff George was the best I've ever seen. If he only had a brain.

when thinking about cannon arms. I've seen to little of Stafford to make a judgement.

.

when he comes back.

"The greatest two throws he ever saw an NFL QB make under pressure he ever saw was Tom Brady in the last 35 seconds of the 2007 Super Bowl.

After getting beat up all game he still put it on his receivers fingertips twice in a row 73 yds down field. He did his job which is put his team on the closest doorstep to come from behind twice in a row "

Of course, that's just Archie Manning's opinion.

He went on to say that if either was caught the play would go down as the greatest in NFL history...in his opinion.

We won...and we remember the Alford sack...but it was closer than we like to admit?

What a great game that was

The out arm strength is irrelevant. Decision time, release time, and vision/brain, way more important

Absolute cannon for an arm.

On that final drive. I would have projectile vomited/cried and probably would have not watched football for a few years.

Still a curious decision back then to go for the home run instead of trying to get into field goal range.

Back to the subject: Roethlisberger is also a good call. Jeff George isn't in the league anymore so I'd leave him out.

dont know if they are experts
1. Cutler - whistles the short to mid range balls like no one else
2. Russell - Probably can throw the longest pass in the NFL today
3. Campbell - amazing arm strength even on the run
4. McNabb - Tight spiral rockets
5. Palmer - Strong arm and incredible accuracy
honorable mention Derek Anderson

???

in 1999 Cade McNown beat out McNabb for strongest arm (or longest throw at least).

Favre has the 2nd stongest arm ever and now isn't in the current top 5? I disagree, his arm is still amazing.

the weakest arm of all the AFC North qbs. He's a great QB, but great arm strength isn't one of his attributes.

There might be a couple others I'd put in that top tier. I think Rogers and McNabb have really strong arms. Chad Henne has a pretty strong arm. Kerry Collins as well, though he's no longer a starter.

Boller throwing the ball through the uprights from his knee's during his workout, that one really worked out

I agree with Archie. The decision to go for the home run might have been lower percentage, but with Brady at QB those two throws had me sweating bullets until they hit the ground.

Aaron Rodgers throws a beautiful ball

release. I love watching him throw when he's in rhythm.

he has an absolute cannon.

I think I remember him throwing over 70 at the QB challenge a few years ago.

I would say Cutler and Flacco...

And elway had ridiculous arms

I agree totally with Archie Manning. In fact, I've pointed out the same thing to a few friends of mine since that game. Had not Webster tipped that pass away from Moss, Moss would have either taken it in or given the Patriots a chip shot field goal. After that, it would have been anybody's game.

That was the play of Webster's career. And Brady is something else.

has a pretty incredible arm, and I think he's still in the league somewhere as a place holder or something.

Great throw, but a knock on he and BB. Every time I hear Pats fans whine about that game I point to thier coaches decisions in the game. Two things always stick out; Why did BB go for it early on instead of the FG and why did he and Brady go for the homerun instead of going to the best slot WR in the game?

just off the fingertips of Webster. Imagine for a second the horror of coming back like that, only to have the Pats run a 70 yard play with under a minute left and watching Webster and Wilson stand hopelessly as Moss scored.

Man, talk about your depressive alternate realities.

I say Brady because not only can he air it out, he can air it out precisely. I've seen other NFL QBs make some seriously deep throws, but never with anywhere near the same amount of accuracy.

Cutler once rolled out to his right, in his own end zone, and managed to overthrow Devin Hester on a go route about 70 yards downfield.

Anyone who can overthrow Devin Hester while on the run when Devin Hester is just streaking downfield...

of the Falcons - best arm I've ever seen.

.

was one of the greatest throws I'd ever seen, which highlights just how well Webster played it. Not just to get his fingers on it, but to stay with Moss the entire time.

I may be wrong but I don't think the Pats had enough time outs or even just time to dink and dunk down the field and set up a field goal.

I think Plax scored with under 30 seconds left.

that would have been the most crushing defeat of all time.

That would have been worse than all those Browns losses in the 80s playoffs combined.

I know that he has quickly become one of the least likeable players in the league but his arm really does deserve the hype. The guy has an absolute rocket. I doubt he gets it all together but the arm is clearly top notch.

The 2nd of those Brady bombs wasn't very close. But the 1st one (right after the Alford sack) was one of the most unbelievable clutch deep balls I've ever seen. 75 yards on the money downfield. Moss had to slow down a little but not by much and on a play like that it's about as close as you can get. If that play actually went down I would have cried.

I remember he was quoted as saying his arm was stronger than Elways when he was still in Denver.
Cutler sticks to his gun on Elway quote, maintains he has stronger arm - ( New Window )

Aaron Rodgers. Brady's is definitely up there, but I think a little less than those 5. McNabb, too.

slotting down the field to kick wasn't really an option.
