Yes. Never seen such velocity on a ball. It was actually a problem his first year as a starter (04) because his receivers couldn't hang on to the ball.

I remember Randall Cunningham used to win those NFL skills QB competitions on the long throw...he could just chuck it a mile.

Currently? Cutler or Kaep

Historically? Jeff George, Vinny T, or Norm Van Brocklin

Among active NFL players, it's Flacco. The guy has an insane arm.

But I do believe JaMarcus may have the strongest arm in history.

good answer. That throw he made to Fred Barnett one time against Buffalo was unreal. It was during a cold weather game in Buffalo where I'm sure the wind could have altered the throw but damn if it didn't...

JaMarcus really is the second coming of Jeff George. Million dollar arm and a ten cent head.

If Jamarcus has the strongest arm I think we're underestimating marcus randall bc he did start over him

I remember listening to a Saints gamecast in JG's rookie year. Archie Manning claimed JG had the greatest mechanics he'd ever seen.

Your logic is not exactly sound, but Marcus did have a very strong arm.

I think he does. I bet he can throw it over 90 yards.

I was just trying to be comical. Marcus Randall sucked and Jamarcus was great later on, but that season where Jamarcus and Marcus split time was painful.

If oregon state kicker doesn't go nuts and miss all those extra points we lose that game

Hell, we almost lost to troy at tiger stadium with that duo leading us

Kyle Boller is up there too.

Terrible NFL QB, but at his pro day before he got drafted he got on one knee at the 50 yard line and threw the ball through the uprights.
