As for why you draft Josh Allen, I can count the number of QBs I've seen over the past fifty years with a comparable arm with seven fingers. Doug Williams, Jim Kelly, Brett Favre, Dan Marino, Jeff George, Terry Bradshaw, and Johnny Unitas. 

Josh Allen's elite arm strength makes him a Super Bowl contending quarterback automatically. He will need some grooming to learn a pro system and how to make plays within such a system. A team may decide that he is too valuable to bench and want to teach him on the fly.

Seriously?

You clearly never actually watched those players. Jeff George and Terry Bradshaw had elite arm strength. Kelly, Favre, Marino, and Unitas didn't. I'm not sure about Doug Williams.

There have been plenty of QBs with elite arm strength who have failed in the NFL. Once a QB's arm strength is sufficient, then any more is immaterial.

Or am I missing something? Was your post sarcasm?

I would put Favre in the elite arm strength category.  But I am most curious as to how Elway escaped both of your lists.  Have you guys ever heard of the "Elway cross?"  Elway was the first NFL QB (Non video game) I saw that could roll to his left and throw back deep to his right and get away with it because his arm was so strong.  His combination of arm strength size and mobility are what made him the highest rated prospect of all time.
