I remember seeing a stat somewhere last year that Stafford also had the worst short yardage accuracy, too. Stafford, Flacco, Cutler and Newton are definitely the top tier of the current guys, imo. Mettenberger is probably up there, too
He was the guy that was so bad in college that no one knew Odell Beckham was actually really goodWhat is a Mettenburger? I've heard of cheese burgers and hamburgers, but we don't have those around here.
I agree, Flacco has a great arm. He's likely top 3 in the league.No doubt Stafford has an arm... I can only speak for seeing Flacco throw it and he throws a missile.
It's weird he made somewhat of a name for himself in the NFL but Aaron Murray never amounted to much (Mettenberger got kicked off of UGA). I thought Mettenberger did a decent job at LSU but boy did they let him get hit hard.He was the guy that was so bad in college that no one knew Odell Beckham was actually really good
Brady won the long toss at the QB skills competition at the Pro Bowl in his 3rd or 4th year with a throw of just over 70 yds.
I would think that most NFL QB's can fling it that far considering I am fast approaching 55 and I can still throw it 50 yds. I Russell Wilson's size BTW and most of these guys are huge.
drew had an absolute cannon. problem is, he forced that cannon into triple coverage after he did his tell tale "pat the ball" before he released it.Jeff George had about as strong an arm as I've ever seen. It's a shame his brain was under developed.
Marino and Elway had great arms, but nothing like Jeff. Bert Jones had a great arm and so did Drew Bledsoe who is a ginormous fella with a canon for an arm.
was he the one that threw the ball thru the uprights from his knees at the 50?This is just a taste:
elway was a one man show on a lot of those denver teamsEffortless motion who could throw it a long way, Randall Cunningham. Warren Moon threw the best deep ball i've ever seen... Favre is obviously up there as is Elway but Elway is the most overrated QB's in the history of the league so...
Yeah, those good defenses that gave up 38, 42, and 55 in the Super Bowl.Elway had a good defense most of the time, the QB of your team has done more with less. He didn't win jack squat until TD showed up! Let's not forget that Elway also has some of the ugliest performances in Super Bowl history
come on man don't turn all gay on usHere's a list with Marino No 1 (bleacher report):
Dan Marino and the NFL's 10 Strongest-Armed QBs of All Time | Bleacher Report
My top 5:
1. Unitas : I dont know if his throws were that great or the film was that old, but the ball floated ... no matter ... the best QB of all time
2. Elway: Power with accuracy
3. Stafford: I never saw a release like his. Im not sure he has to throw like that or the OL is just that much bigger than him
4. Favre: He threw it hard short or long. Not much touch.
5. Eli Manning: Fuck him and his brother
Yeah, those good defenses that gave up 38, 42, and 55 in the Super Bowl.
In general, 80s sports is kinda overrated because we get fooled by the concept of legendsIn closing Elway is overrated, fact not opinion...
