Cam once held a strong top 5 spot in the league as far as Throwing power... Now these young guns seem to want to have a open duel to see who throws farther, Allen said its gonna take at least 85 yards in the air to beat him,while Mahomes holds a season record of longest completion at over 61 yards in the air... Take your bets....(its the offseason but this sounds fun)

I'd wager to say that Newton had the 1st/2nd strongest arm ever in the NFL when healthy (him and  Vick)...that dude threw lasers (sometimes unwarranted) and multiple 50-60 yard passes falling back off his back foot.  I've watched the Brett Farve tapes etc and people claimed he had the strongest arm, but I think Newton is severely under-rated.

People said Favre because he always won the arm strength competition they had at the pro bowl, so, it was true.

Cam indeed has one of the strongest arms in football. The greats have a strong arm, accuracy, and touch. Favre knows how to put touch on it but he struggle with accuracy as well. Flacco, Elway and Stanford have great long balls and strong arms as well but could never put it all together.

What separates those guys from greats are having it all. Rothlisburger, Brees, Rodgers have power, touch and accuracy. 

Of course no ones perfect but if I had to choose the importance of a QBs arm in order it’d be. 

Accuracy

Touch

Power

I hate to say it but Jamarcus Russel likely had a stronger arm than Cam.

As lazy he was, he had a rocket launcher attached to his shoulder.

Jamarcus Russell had once-in-a-lifetime, Bo Jackson athlete, type arm talent. God given. What a waste.

A lot of the time I don’t think scouts miss on the talent a player has. Sometimes it’s how that talent is harnessed.. either from laziness, bad coaching, terrible system fits or whatever. It isn’t just because the guy couldn’t play football.
