For those who saw all of them: Rank the All-Time Cowboys QB Arm Strength!

Was reading the thread about Bob Hayes vs Tyreek Hill and saw the post about Meredith and Hayes having the longest throw in NFL history without YAC? Got me thinking… for those who have seen all our QBs. (Okay, you can get by without Eddie LeBaron, but you at least need to start with Don Meredith!) How would you rank their arms? No accuracy talk, no mobility or pocket presence…. just straight up, which QBs had the strongest arms?

For extra credit… include backup QBs. LOL Remember, we had Randall Cunningham, Vinny Testaverde, and some others who were known for strong arms.

The beauty of this comparison is it can withstand the test of time. This is a skill that stays the same whether you were a QB in 1960 or 2023.

I realize deepest throw doesn’t always mean hardest throw or most accurate, I’ll let you decide how you want to classify it. I’ve seen Aikman publicly admit Romo was a better QB, but he was referring to his overall athleticism, not his arm.

I ask because I honestly don’t know… My memories start with Danny White. This is something that you surprisingly can’t Google. A search only shows all QBs in NFL history. Hope to see some good stuff in this thread from the old school fans!
