MJS Posted May 27, 2021 Posted May 27, 2021 Wow, this was a treat to watch. Some great QB's with big arms. Josh Allen is featured at the 3:10 mark and Jim Kelly is featured at the 9:26 mark. (You will likely need to click through to Youtube) 2 1
transient Posted May 27, 2021 Posted May 27, 2021 Just started to watch, but had to comment. It's a shame Vick wasn't a better QB... or human being for that matter... because it was always fun to watch him zing a football 60 yds on a rope with the flick of his wrist. 4
97bills Posted May 27, 2021 Posted May 27, 2021 I loved Jim Kelly and never thought it would take so long to get another QB. That was worth mentioning with Jim Kelly but his turnovers killed us in big games. 1

Vick had a heck of an arm. He really should be in the conversation for strongest arms in NFL history. He just wasn't accurate enough, and my guess is he wasn't great at reading defenses. He obviously bailed the pocket a lot to run. He also lacked touch. Great athlete with a big arm, though. 1
Beast Posted May 27, 2021 Posted May 27, 2021 JP Losman could throw a ball through a wall. And often did on 3rd down. 5
Saxum Posted May 27, 2021 Posted May 27, 2021 Jeff George had the best arm but lack of control is what stopped him from becoming best QB in NFL. If only a coach could get thru to him. 3 2

All I saw were Kelly deep dimes in this montage, sorry 🤔😁💪 In all seriousness, yes, there were trade offs to his gunslinger mentality, just like with Favre or Elway, etc., but more often than not while we had him, we got the good end of that bargain with Jim. 1 2
BuffaloBill Posted May 28, 2021 Posted May 28, 2021 After I watched Matthew Stanford I had to think what a waste of talent. The guy never had a real team around him. 1
sherpa Posted May 28, 2021 Posted May 28, 2021 James Harris, ex Bill, could get it there. Just always didn't know where "there" was. Kind of like a SCUD missile. Always get airborne, just not sure where it lands.
mikemac2001 Posted May 28, 2021 Posted May 28, 2021 Man moon had moon shots it’s so crazy how high he threw them but wow perfect 1

Big Turk Posted May 28, 2021 Posted May 28, 2021 No QB has ever thrown a ball even close to the velocity Allen has been clocked at in Sports Science. It was so much higher than anyone else they ever checked it they had to keep checking and rechecking the radar gun because they thought it was impossible and the gun was broken. 3 1 1

Buffalo716 Posted May 28, 2021 Posted May 28, 2021 Jimbo and Allen definitely have some of the strongest arms to ever play the game In modern football Allen has the best velocity of all time but Elway probably would've been right up there The Elway cross was a legendary thing 1

He could really sling it. 2 hours ago, BuffaloBill said: After I watched Matthew Stanford I had to think what a waste of talent. The guy never had a real team around him. That video really shows how good Stafford could have been if he had gone to a better organization. Shame indeed.
Klaista2k Posted May 28, 2021 Posted May 28, 2021 Allen has a strong arm but rarely takes advantage of it. Very disappointing. 1 2 1
