Which QB in the NFL has the best arm?


JawnyBlaze

Recommended Posts

not doing 'best arm' list because the definition of 'best arm' is probably different for everyone

Strongest arm: (alphabetical order)

Starters in the conversation:

Cam, Cutler, Flacco, Cam, Stafford, Vick

Non-starters:

Locker, Mallet, Kaepernick

Are there any measurables on QBs arm strength? If so, I never hear about them. As much as they try to analyze these guys with dash times, wonderlics, and bench presses etc., why don't they have a 20 yard mph number or total yards of carry guage for QBs?

Judging by the choices, I think they mean "strongest arm", because "best" implies to me the most accurate, best zip, etc. Cam's not exactly in that discussion yet (and neither is Flacco and possibly not Stafford). I think voters are responding to it as if it was the total package, while the choices tell me it just means the strongest arm which I honestly think might be Cam. I haven't seen enough of Flacco and Stafford to know whether they can throw a pass like the one in the Washington game where Cam connected with Steve at the 1.

Pure arm strength is a majorly overrated factor among many fans.

Doesn't really matter how far you can throw the ball if you can't put it in the right spot.

    • It's worth noting that we started playing something that looked like football after going down 17-0 against the Dolphins.  Up to that point we had rushed the ball 3 times and Bryce had two turnovers.   Then we ran it 5 straight times with Rico and he started cracking off some big gains and led to our first touchdown.  Another 37 yards of rushing later, Bryce goes 1 yard complete, incomplete, incomplete to get that field goal before halftime.  Then we committed big time to the run in the second half and played some really nice complimentary football.  The Panthers had stumbled on a formula, and it started with Rico being crazy productive.  Something they only learned because Chubba was injured and Bryce started that game so poorly they were forced to lean on Rico. Fast foward to Dallas, they essentially lean into the same game plan against the Cowboys and I think everyone was surprised by how quickly it started to look complimentary.  In my opinion the productive offense really helped the defense as well.  We played quite solid against a top offense. Finally we make our way to the Jets and Bills, Chubba's return.  You can't say the low scoring affair and return to ineffective football against the Jets was all on Chubba, they were indeed a better defense and so was Buffalo.  But the production difference between the two backs in both games was both visually and statistically obvious.  The bigger picture is the offense took a major step back as well.  They are other moving parts and it's isn't all one thing, BY9>Dalton by a decent margin at this point.   But yeah, Rico's vision and athleticism is just better than Chubba and it jumps at you.
    • First day in 3 weeks my pain started to dwindle just a tiny bit.  Got switched from hydrocodone to post-shingles pain patches.  My insurance refused to pay for my patches as I’m too young for shingles per them.  I also need a prescription to get shingles shot and insurance also won’t pay for it even thought I just had shingles and in high risk to get it again.
