They say Terry Bradshaw would warm up at Tech by throwing the ball from the 10 to the other endzone. Over 90 yards is a pretty good arm if you ask me.
Sounds like an old wise tale

I don't know if he has the strongest arm but I know CBS and ESPN made it a point every game LSU was televised to say he could throw it 70 yards from his knees

Brady...um what?
you dont think he has a strong arm?
Within 25 yards he can throw it as hard as just about anyone.
and he throws a great deep ball.
Tom Brady has one of the 5-6 best arms in the NFL.

There was a play against Alabama back in '02 or '03 when we beat them in overtime 16-13 at their place. No one will really remember the play I'm referring too since it was an incomplete pass and was absolutely meaningless but Jamarcus was flushed out of the pocket on a rollout and was pressured pretty heavily. He was right on the goal line when he threw the ball away off of his back foot falling down. It went over Buster Davis' head by about 20 yards. I was sitting on the opposing 30 yard line. That's where the ball landed. On the 28. Off of his back foot. Falling down.
2005. Was there, too.
IIRC, wasn't the game won on a broken play, roll out, long ball to the end zone.

Never said that
he just isn't in that class that you put him in for strong arms

how has no one said Michael Vick?
I am an arm strength afficiando and Vick has the strongest arm in history.
Jamarcus is up there. Top 4 or 5 id say.
I'd also say there are different ways to judge arm strength
In a straight up longest ball competition I'd put my money on Jamarcus as being top 3 all time. Throwing a bullet 40 yards on a rope he is up there too but there might be someone better at the more "line drive" type throws.
I still think one of the most impressive live passes I've seen in a game is when he flicked the ball off his back foot to LaFell against ND in the Sugar Bowl. Looked completely effortless and he put the ball about 65 yards in the air.
You look at some of these guys in those QB challenges where they're launching into it and they can barely get 65 out of an all out heave.
His wingspan allows him to launch a deep ball farther than most if not all QBs. He could probably toss is about 80 yards.
*rumor is that Michael Bishop once tossed a ball 93 yards in practice but that could just be urban legend.

Sure that isn't 2004? I know the youtube link says 2005 but I thought JR was wearing #2 in the 2005 season and he has #4 there
Or maybe I'm having a brain fart

it was 2005. He wore #2 in 2006
2004 we whooped up on Bama at home

Joe Bauserman could throw it out of the stands...and did it frequently during games

He barely throws this ball hard

I immediately thought of this play. Didn't set his feet, falling away, taking a hit, still hits Bowe in stride.

You linked a 12 minute video with dozens of plays
Also, I heard once during a k-state broadcast that Bishop threw the college football 78MPH

I linked at the time of the specific play that I was referring to. I even described the play in my post, how could you have missed that?
