Drew Brees


Are you actually claiming Drew Brees has a stronger arm than Dan Marino?

No and I don't understand how you just interpreted what I wrote as that.......you just harped about being accurate and throwing it far and Dan Marino being the best.

I think Brees and Marino are very comparable players in terms of what you were describing.......accuracy with the deep ball.

Then I don't understand what your point is or why you're bringing up Brees.

Marino had an incredibly strong arm in terms of distance. I once saw him flick -- not throw, but FLICK -- a ball off his wrong foot 40 yards on target for a TD. And since Marino also had excellent accuracy and touch, he had the "greatest arm strength" I've ever seen.

Drew Brees laughs at this........that's all I'm saying.......

jamarcus probably has the best strength. dude can straight fling the ball further than anyone, but he just sucks with his touch.

1:50 mark.

I mentioned Joe Flacco earlier, and it didn't seem to register with anyone... so take a sec to look at what I was talking about. 74 yards in the air!

JaMarcus is #1 in this category... but I'm telling you... the Baltimore Ravens' QB is #2!!

I'm beginning to understand the meaning of the word "Saintard".

Peyton Manning said JR would have the strongest arm in the NFL the first day he touched the field. He was saying this when JR was in college.

I'm not being a homer.........just saying if you read what you wrote then Brees can easily fit in that category distance combined with accuracy and touch.........quit being a name calling bitch.

Do I think Drew Brees has great arm strength? NO.....do I think that Drew is accurate with whatever throw he makes? Yes.

Cutler has a CANNON. I put him right behind JR, Bradshaw, and Elway. Then Jeff George.
