Dan Fouts didn’t have a strong arm.

It is Rube. He thinks Fouts is the greatest of all time.

Marino's arm was not the strongest ever either. He had the quickest release of all time probably.

Elways should probably be #1 Jeff George should be higher on the list.

Doug Williams should be on that list.

I've never seen a guy throw 75 yards as effortlessly as Vick, a little flick of the wrist. He's got a stronger arm than anybody on that horseshit list.

ya know, it's not recency bias to include Mahomes on the list.

I had forgotten about Mahomes, so you might be right. Since he doesn't have the body of work yet like the others, he's TBD. I admit I have not seen enough of him.

I don't know how anyone could say Fouts didn't have a strong arm. It's clear from the film and all the yards he put up that he did.

We forget about Cunningham, but he was great back in the day. He absolutely should be in the HOF.

I don’t think he had an “all-time” strong arm but I never saw anyone throw a prettier deep ball than Warren Moon. The perfect trajectory and spiral. A thing of beauty.

I seem to remember Vince Evans having a similarly strong arm.

Me and my brother were watching practice when the Raiders had their training camp in Oxnard. Before practice Jay Schroeder and Vince Evans were in one end zone launching balls towards the other end zone. Schroeder was dropping balls inside the 10 and Evans was dropping balls inside the 20. Evans must have been around 40 years old at the time. He still had a live arm.

Fouts No. 1 Most Unrated QB Ever By Bleacher Report.

"Imagine a player like Alex Smith, who has been mediocre for his first couple seasons in the NFL, suddenly began to throw for 3,500-4,500 yards every year for the rest of his career while leading the NFL's most prolithic passing offense of its era. That perfectly resembles the story of Dan Fouts, who started off slowly but hit a hot streak in his fourth year in the NFL that lasted the rest of his 15-year career.

Fouts played his entire career with the Chargers and piloted the potent and revolutionary Air Coryell offense with receivers such as Kellen Winslow Sr. and Charlie Joiner at his disposal. From 1978 to the end of his career in 1987, Dan Fouts never threw for under 2,883 yards and hit the 4,000-yard mark three times in a row years before the NFL became the pass-happy league it is today.

While Fouts threw for his fair share of interceptions, he was one of the best passers in history at airing the ball out and racking up passing yards. However, a subpar defense was the only thing that stood in the way of Fouts and the Chargers, and it caused them to miss the Super Bowl all 15 years of Dan Fouts' career, causing him to be forgotten during discussions of the all-time greats.

Dan Fouts finished his career with 43,040 yards and 252 touchdown passes, showing that the man who looks like he belongs in the forest with a large axe felt right at home on a football field. Fouts' name has been steadily erased from the record books over the years, and his lack of a Super Bowl ring has hurt his legacy, but he still remains the NFL's most underrated quarterback of all time and one of its best."
