Well here is the top 10 longest passes of last season although they don't have this in net yards for some reason:

1. Tom Brady* · NWE 99

Eli Manning* · NYG 99

3. Ben Roethlisberger* · PIT 95

4. Aaron Rodgers*+ · GNB 93

5. Cam Newton · CAR 91

6. Curtis Painter · IND 87

7. Andy Dalton · CIN 84

8. Caleb Hanie · CHI 81

9. Matt Flynn · GNB 80

Matt Hasselbeck · TEN 80

Matt Ryan · ATL 80

Matt Schaub · HOU 80

Here's net yards per pass attempt:

1. Aaron Rodgers*+ · GNB 8.22

2. Tom Brady* · NWE 7.87

3. Drew Brees* · NOR 7.81

4. Matt Schaub · HOU 7.73

5. Eli Manning* · NYG 7.67

6. Carson Palmer · OAK 7.63

7. Philip Rivers* · SDG 7.23

8. Michael Vick · PHI 7.12

9. Tony Romo · DAL 7.09

10. Ben Roethlisberger* · PIT 6.89

I'd go with Rodgers for strongest and best arm.

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?

they measure at the combine by radar gun, i'm sure its on the interweb somewheres

cam definitely has zip. threw a couple of passes that his receivers couldnt hold on to last year. strongest on the long ball id probably give the edge to stafford. most accurate? unfortunately mole man takes that honor. ill be glad when he leaves NO.

Limp wristed sissy boy award? anyone....? pickles is too easy. Ill go matty ice.

Hah...I remember Cam throwing one serious no arc, straight line bullet to Smitty that he couldn't catch. I also remember Smitty looking back at Cam and unmistakably saying "F*CK YOU!!".

i think it was one of the Saints** games. i believe he was throwing a dart over the middle and ss89 couldn't hold on to it. cam might have set him up to get knocked the fug out, though.

To me arm strength isn't just about throwing distance, although deep ball is a factor.

Arm strength for me is about the ability to drive the ball with velocity on the litmus test arm strength intensive throws: deep comeback, deep square in/big dig, skinny post/bang 8, throws from the far hash to the opposite sideline, throws into small windows with defenders closing in etc, being ability to still throw with velocity while off balance and relying only on arm strength

Well in fairness, tons of those are purely YAC. Like Brady and Cam's....there aren't bombs

If we are lining guys up to see who can chunk it the farthest and throw with the most velocity (ingoring QB play )....I think Cam, Vick if he still has it, and Stafford are the ones I would bet in. I think Favre could come back today and break some fingers

      Can’t get over this

      By Newtcase · Posted

      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.

      Shingles…

      By Lame Duck · Posted

      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.
