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.

I did a follow up post which does mention John Elway. 

Modern cannon arms? Matt Stafford, Cam Newton, Derek Carr.
