POLL Strongest QB Arm in the NFL?

[HuskerOC]

Who do you think has the biggest/strongest arm of the current QBs in the NFL?

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

Probably Herbert or Allen with Mahomes right there of the young guys but honestly, Matt Stafford has always had and still has an absolute cannon.

Not Dak.

LOL.

Yep, Stafford made that gunslinger throw last night, straight from the hip, on a rope for 30 yards in a milli-second. I don't think there is any other guy in the league that could have made that throw.

Dak Prescott!!

Seriously....

Stafford, Allen, Herbert are all right there.

In terms of pure arm strength:
1. Allen
2. Herbert
3. Mahomes
4. Levis
5. Stafford

How does Lamar Jackson escape your top 5?

I haven't seen enough of Anthony Richardson or Trey Lance as starters in the NFL to include them but based on college they both have elite arm strength.

Trevor Lawrence also has a rifle. He'd be top 3 in most eras

Dude.

Lawrence has a noodle compared to the elite in this conversation.

How does Lamar Jackson escape your top 5?

Overall he's one of the most talented players in the league. He has a live arm but I don't think of him in the elite class.

Mahomes, Allen, Herbert, and Anthony Richardson pretty much immediately puts him on that bubble. Some other guys like Love, Lawrence, and Stafford would give Lamar a run for his money in pure armstrength.

Lamar is an A tier arm, not an S. I think the first four names are pretty indisputable in that they have bigger arms than Lamar.

Really? I think Lawrence has a cannon for an arm. He throws the deep out route as well as any QB in the league.
They should bring back the old school QB challenge where you saw who had the best arm in terms of distance throws

We are talking arm strength and the ability to throw a football for many yards.

I'd wager that Lamar Jackson can throw it further than any other dude in the NFL right now.

People throw out stupid numbers like 80 yards en such, but I think Lamar can truly chuck it 74 yards. I don't think any other guy can throw it further.

No shot Lamar can throw 85 yards like Allen, Mahomes, or Richardson, imo.

I would bank my entire 401K that Lamar Jackson can throw a football further than Patrick Mahomes.

Eh, Mahomes' range is ~80-85 yards. You don't pull off as many weird angles as he does without some pretty insane armstrength. Just more horizontal than Allen.

Patrick Mahomes flashed his greatness before the NFL draft with an 80-yard throw during a workout that made scouts gush

Patrick Mahomes blew away people attending his pro day in 2017.

I have little doubt Anthony Richardson can chuck it 80 or more. That dude is a complete freakshow.

I seriously doubt Allen or Mahomes can throw it 70.

I think Allen and Mahomes can easily hit 75 yards. On the right day with the right conditions they both challenge 80. Allen, Herbert and Mahomes have historically great arms.

And nobody actually measured.

They used to have a QB competition in which guys were asked to throw it as far as they can.

63 to 65 yards was almost always the top end. Throwing a ball 70 yards is extremely hard.

I think Mahomes would tap out at about 68.
