Cam once held a strong top 5 spot in the league as far as Throwing power... Now these young guns seem to want to have a open duel to see who throws farther, Allen said its gonna take at least 85 yards in the air to beat him,while Mahomes holds a season record of longest completion at over 61 yards in the air... Take your bets....(its the offseason but this sounds fun)

I'd wager to say that Newton had the 1st/2nd strongest arm ever in the NFL when healthy (him and  Vick)...that dude threw lasers (sometimes unwarranted) and multiple 50-60 yard passes falling back off his back foot.  I've watched the Brett Farve tapes etc and people claimed he had the strongest arm, but I think Newton is severely under-rated.

People said Favre because he always won the arm strength competition they had at the pro bowl, so, it was true.

Cam indeed has one of the strongest arms in football. The greats have a strong arm, accuracy, and touch. Favre knows how to put touch on it but he struggle with accuracy as well. Flacco, Elway and Stanford have great long balls and strong arms as well but could never put it all together.

What separates those guys from greats are having it all. Rothlisburger, Brees, Rodgers have power, touch and accuracy. 

Of course no ones perfect but if I had to choose the importance of a QBs arm in order it’d be. 

Accuracy

Touch

Power

I hate to say it but Jamarcus Russel likely had a stronger arm than Cam.

As lazy he was, he had a rocket launcher attached to his shoulder.

Jamarcus Russell had once-in-a-lifetime, Bo Jackson athlete, type arm talent. God given. What a waste.

A lot of the time I don’t think scouts miss on the talent a player has. Sometimes it’s how that talent is harnessed.. either from laziness, bad coaching, terrible system fits or whatever. It isn’t just because the guy couldn’t play football.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
