Vicks flicking motion and the velocity of the ball is the craziest thing I’ve ever witnessed in football. The guys arm talent was something to behold.

[lwmson]

Say what you want about Vick, but he was an amazing talent. He not only had a rifle for an arm, but he could also run a 4.3 forty. Incredible athlete.

Moon, Marino and Vick stood out the most to me. Moon's spirals were gorgeous, Marino was insanely fast with his release and Vick made it look effortless - like he could easily throw it much further.

[CollinAbroadcast]

All of them have cannons for the deep ball, but if you watch Favre highlights, the VELOCITY on the short to intermediate routes were UNMATCHED

[YungFreshhTV]

I always felt like Vick could throw it two football fields, the way he flicks it is so effortless.

Warren Moon threw the most beautiful spiral ever. It's a shame he tends to be left out of great QBs discussions because he was exactly that....One of the greatest!

[timpatz]

i know i am in a very small minority but MIchael Vick was and still is one of my favorites.
when he threw the ball it just seemed effortless.
one of the most exciting players in the history of the NFL.

Greenbay was incredibly lucky to have two of the greatest quarterbacks play for the past 30 years.

[geegarcia]

Even tho he didn't have the greatest career, anyone who truly knows football or QBs can't deny that Jay Cutler had a cannon. Dude could throw it 80 yards barely trying. Half the time it got intercepted but hey, still had an arm. I'm not even a Bears fan and I gotta give credit wear it's due. He did indeed have a strong arm.

[SB-ovom]

Warren Moon definitely throws the most pretty passes in history

[sethtate]

Jeff George was throwing bullets at 50 yards. Also had the quickest release ive ever seen.

[scottnewton]

I watched nearly every game Elway played at Granada Hills High School in 1977 and 1978. You could hear the ball cutting through the air when he threw it. A man among boys. Unbelievable.

[Adonis]

Randy Moss: get me a quarterback with an arm.

NFL: Say less

[JaguarGator]

Best deep throw of all-time has to be what Randall Cunningham did against the Bills. No clue how that wasn't a safety, but to escape that and then chuck that ball up was a thing of beauty

[cardinalRG]

The most impressive show of arm strength I ever saw was Elway’s throw to Ken Margerum against USC in 1980. I never saw a professional throw equal it, not even by Elway himself. He threw a 70-yard, cross-field frozen rope, while on the run. It spent shockingly little time in the air, and it knocked Margerum onto his back. It went over the head of an astonished Ronnie Lott, who’d parked himself at what he thought was the maximum distance that a quarterback could throw. To this day, Lott simply shakes his head at it.

The second-strongest arm, in my estimation, belonged to Jay Schroeder, believe it or not. He was erratic and his career was short, but good grief, he slung it with power.

It's amazing how little Favre is being mentioned in this comments section. He arguably had the strongest arm in NFL history, and many people acknowledged this during his career, yet today you'd think that he was second rate.

How soon people forget. Or simply choose to ignore someone, when given the opportunity.

[JawaPenguin]

Marino, Vick and Rodgers throw a pretty ball but Warren Moon's throws are just drop dead gorgeous.

[TheChallenger]

Jeff George had arguably the sickest arm ever. I once saw him throw a strike 80 yards falling backwards.

[J.Wick.]

So much respect for Jim Kelly... From a 30+yr Cowboys fan. Also, imagine if Marino and Moon had an actual team around them.

[Tomrider]

My Dad told me about a Bears QB from the 60s-70s, Bobby Douglas, who he said might have had the strongest arm ever. Huge for the time too, at 6'4", 220. Downside was that he had the touch of a buffalo and couldn't always remember the plays. Held the QB rushing record for years, taking off when he couldn't find anyone in the first second! :-)
