    I would say Leftwich had the most arm strength by far. With absolutely shitty throwing technique the guy could throw the ball so fast it looked painful to catch.

    I would rank Cutler right after him. Brooks and Vick have comparible strength, and Palmer's arm is pretty strong.

    Theisman is a retard for trying to combine strength with accuracy though.

    That arm strength ranking is F'd. No Cutler? No Brooks? No McNabb? Culpepper? Carr (not that he gets to show it much, he threw so many short passes this year)? Leftwich? That guy has a f*ckin GUN.

    And the worst one is CARSON PALMER.

    If I had to judge a QBs arm, I would have to do the perfect combination of arm strength and accuracy.

    My top 5 would be:

    Peyton Manning
    Carson Palmer
    Drew Brees
    Tom Brady
    Donovan Mcnabb

    It's very debatable though.

    His problem is he throws 8 yards passes the same as 28 yard passes

    And who could forget Kyle Boller ... remember when he bragged about him on his knees n throwing the ball past the goal post and to the stands ...

    wouldnt accuracy fall under "ARM"? vick should ONLY be in the legs....while he can throw the ball far, he cant (usually) put it where he wants.

    as much as i HATE manning, he should be in that arm category. he has a great arm, and hes accurate as hell.

    it boggles the mind that JT doesnt add an accuracy section....usually your elite QBs have to have that.

    You know I'll probably get lynched for saying this...but I think Boller could be a Losman-esque kind of guy.

    He was the wrong guy in the wrong situation. He was the young QB on the aging team that NEEDED a veteran QB there. They threw him in early on, and he was questioned at every possible moment. Funny thing is, his completion% was on an upward trend, his YPA was going up, and so on.

    Seriously, like I think with Carr, and thought with Losman (nice pat on the back for me)...if he gets traded or somehow the franchise makes an effort to help him out (like the Bills did for Losman)...he could be someone in this league.

    Hello guys new to the forum . and I see a lot of Vick hating in this thread . I had to chime in and ask the questiuon am I the only jet fan that would jump into a lake of fir e to have vick on our team . I be dreaming of having that boy become a Jet . that would be perfect . the falcons are a lucky team . being in atlanta i see them every game and although i don't care for the team i like him . so what's up with all the hate . It must be jealousy because he's not a jet

    vick is garbage...we already traded for our rb so no thanks
    but seriously...this guy is not a leader and has no heart(anymore)
    i think he can be very dangerous(even being a terrible passer) with the faith of his team and confidence that he had early on in his career and the way VY did last year
    if he can regain that then maybe he could win again for someone......but not this team
    so right now.....he sucks

    for some reason I can't quote you but anyway . Vick is not garbage .i watch him . it's not like he went to a 5 time superbowl championship team or anything . he went to a bad team and every year they're competitive that's saying something in it's itself . The hate for Vick is astonishing .But like I said the only reason I have the slightest dislike for him is because he's not a Jet.I can't be the only jet fan to think this way .come on folks admit it

    yeah, I think you may be the only one!

    As for all Vick hating, I think it's backlash due to the media constantly fawning over him as if he is the greatest QB to ever play the game. Undoubtedly the guy is a great athlete and can do some things that no other QB can, but his game also has some serious flaws. So when I hear the network commentators ooozing and coozing over him, it is a bit sickening.

    Anyway, welcome to the board!

    i live in nc...so everyone here(panthers fans) hates vick...so i have played the devil's advocate for quite some time and enjoyed the way he tormented them for a few seasons, but that dominance and flash he had is gone....it was made obvious by how they got blown out by detroit and then responded by losing to cleveland....that is 2 losses in back to back weeks against the 2nd and 3rd worst teams in the league(not to mention the 3 game losing streak ending the season)
    he has no heart or confidence coming from his team...and considering his off field issues his career is dropping faster than almost any other player
