Yeah I agree Jay Hawk especially during the time JK still played I think Drews arm was much better.

Randall Cunningham if your only considering past players.. But a few of the present players will go down on that list.

McNabb thew the ball 60 yards on the run Monday Night.. Culpepper is a beast.

Jim Kelly, Phil Simms, and Tom Brady do not belong on this list. They all had/have average arm strength.

Michael Vick has a strong arm. Not very accurate but strong.

Jeff George had a big arm, little head. David Klinger had a strong arm, little else.

John Elway by far had the strongest arm, he had a gun!!!!!

I would put Favre right behind him, he also has a cannon..

James Harris has the strongest arm I've ever seen. Probably Elway is second.

BRADY!? Bledsoe even now has a way STRONGER arm. (Accuracy a different story)

I think Kelly had a pretty strong arm. He just threw a very ugly deep ball. It hit the target most of the time, but it was rarely a spiral. Borderline end over end, actually. A nice 63 yard, wobbliest ball I've ever seen, TD pass was always reason to celebrate. Kurt Warner actually throws one of the prettiest balls I've ever seen (well, he did). He's just not a very good QB anymore. Brady has an average arm, like Simms did, Montana, etc. but like these guys, he's very accurate.

I have heard stories told by ex-NFL guys that Elway actually threw so hard, guys were afraid to catch the ball at times. Many players agree that Elway threw the hardest of any qb in his era. Other eras, I am not sure.

Michael Vick has a strong arm. Not very accurate but strong.

Kyle Boller's arm is the same way. During the combine, he threw the ball 70 yards, through the goal posts, from a kneeling position.

Favre, by far. I remember hearing Sterling Sharpe say that he used to break his fingers catching Favre's passes. I think he said every week a finger was either broken or sprained.

You HAVE to add Johnny Unitas and Sonny Jurgensen.

Unitas? Could he chuck it over 50? I dunno it was before my time.

At the Rockpile, I saw James Harris throw the ball 80 yards flat footed,

You also can't forget the Mad Bomber, Darryl Lamonica.

Another young QB with a rocket is David Carr. I remember in his first season he fired a 50 yard laser beam to Corey Bradford. I had to watch the replay to make sure I wasn't dreaming.

Vick absolutely needs to be on that list. I've seen him "flick" a 50 yarder using just his wrist let alone his arms/and legs.

Did anyone mention Donavan McNabb? He's got a gun.

On ESPN today, they were talking about that pass the other night (when DM scrambled East and West a couple of times, breaking tackles, then throwing a 60 yard pass to Freddie Mitchell) as possibly the best pass ever.
I remember turning on the game Monday night before going to bed. It was right before this play. I just watched it and laughed in amazement.

Boomer Esiason when he was with the Bengals and I can't believe your leaving out Joe Montana

Joe Ferguson had a very strong arm- but he would always toss interceptions.


Tom Brady has one of the weaker arms in the NFL today- why is he on this list? He's a finess passer, he doesn't have very much power.

I can't believe you guys have'nt mentioned our rookie J.P. he has an arm I know he hasn't played a full game yet but we've all seen him in the preseason games.
