bills11 Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 John Elway..the velocity he could get on the football was insane watching him out zip on the ball was something else
bmur66 Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 Cardale Jones 70 yards on his knees. Warren Moon had an arm too.
H2o Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 (edited) Hard to say. Favre's WR group said his passes could easily break a finger if you weren't ready. Russell's arm was ridiculous. Jeff George was the white version of Russell. Vick could throw a ball 70 yards too, I remember seeing it on one of those offseason QB comps they used to have. Cardale Jones has a cannon. Marino had a gun too. Edited March 29, 2018 by H2o
ChevyVanMiller Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 Has to be Derrick Dockery. The fact that he was able to strong-arm the Bills into an $18 million signing-bonus is still mind-boggling. 3 7
Straight Hucklebuck Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 Mike Vick could really spin the ball with just a flick.
vorpma Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 8 hours ago, Blue on Blue said: James "Howitzer" Harris of the Buffalo Bills. (O.K., he was never called "Howitzer," but he should have been!) He was the first black QB to ever start a season (1969) opener in the NFL. He was the first QB I ever saw who 'flicked' the ball, effortlessly. He could throw the ball!
oldmanfan Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 Here's one you young whippersnappers wouldn't think of: Sammy Baugh. Baugh could throw the balloons that masqueraded as footballs for well over 50 yards in his day. If he had the modern football no telling how far he could have chucked it. 1

Stank_Nasty Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 (edited) I personally think it should be settled by gathering Elway, Cunningham, Russell, George, and Allen and having them chuck this SOB. The summit of mid 90’s technology and every 12 yr olds ego boosting best friend. Edited March 29, 2018 by Stank_Nasty 3

That was the mark left on the receivers by the tip of the ball.
BuffaloSol Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 (edited) Check out this high school kid, I found when looking up throws. In a game he threw it about 74 yards in the air even though it says 77, unfortunately doesn't look like it translated to college QB. https://youtu.be/IGeeDv6g2LY Edited March 29, 2018 by BuffaloSol
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 Jack Kemp had an endzone to endzone type of arm, his problem of lacking touch and knocking receivers down, were stuff of legend. I remember stories my Dad and my cousins telling me about his arm strength. You don't get those kind of stories told about you unless you had it!
SmokinES3 Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 I have to go with Favre on this one. Jeff George is a good choice as well. Have you heard some of the Glanville stories on placing prop bets on how far he could throw it into the stands?
