Strongest And Most Accurate Qb?

I want to paint my TDQ into a legendary QB and use him in all of my games instead of just keeping him all-white. I can't afford to buy a new one for every team, so just the one. Who is The ONE? If you lined up EVERY QB to have ever played in the NFL side-by-side in their prime, who had thee absolute strongest AND most accurate arm? No favorites, just facts!

Stongest and most accurate arm, I'd say Dan Marino

Crap ! I agree with a Michigan fan
MARINO is my vote . Quickest release also.

Marino had the quickest release but John Elway made some throws that defied physics.

I saw a Sunday night game where he was on the far left side of the field and he threw the ball against his body about 40 yards downfield ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE FIELD (another 40yds) on a frozen rope to the receiver at the far right sideline (Did I mention he threw this against his momentum - running left - he stopped and planted and threw back right?). Joe Theissman made the comment at the time "I'd have broken my arm just trying to make that throw."

Elway is my vote.

i saw this post right after you put it up. the first person i thought of was elway, but if i remember right, he wouldnt be up there with the most accurate of all passers. then i thought montana, but he certainly did not have the arm strength. now Marino sounds good to me. HOWEVER, let me throw out two guys that would fly under this radar. Peyton - accurate! and underrated arm strength. AND AIKMAN. accurate and strong. not playing favorites, but you just might have to be dallas fan to know realize this. he didnt have to throw alot cause he had that dancing with the stars champion in the back field, but he could sling it in there on that 15 yard square in he threw to Irvin on the 1st play after every turnover.
Farve? Please fellas . career interceptions leader that NO ONE ever wants to acknowledge. cant tell me you are accurate when you OWN that record.

Dan Marino....without a doubt. His arm and leadership was all that the Miami offense had for many years...He was successful despite the fact that everyone knew he was going to throw almost all of the time, since Miami had an awful running game. Long after Dan was no longer very mobile....and he wasn't very mobile to begin with....Dan Marino's arm got it done.

Favre was a great one....certainly top 5....but the interception tally (including a lot of truly horrible throws...bad decisions...especially in the later years) does take something away from his status.

I always have a hard time picking the other top QB's....but Staubach, Fouts, Montana, Steve Young, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, John Elway and Unitas are definitely up there. I kind of take away something from Brady, Young, Montana and Manning because of the system and team talent that surrounds(ed) them. Fouts had great talent...and a pass happy system....but he did it in an era when the passing game was not favored by the rules and QB's took a beating. Fouts was a great leader....just like Staubach and Unitas. Elway was probably the second best QB behind Marino...but he had a better team built around him....and he had a fabulous running game when he won his championships.

as much as i hate to say it, john elway. they have said that when he first showed up at camp, he was putting an x on everyones chest because he was throwing the ball so hard.

...if you want just arm strength AND accuracy then I'd vote Marino. He also had one of the quickest releases ever. BUT...if you also toss in field generalship then my vote goes to Montana.

[MplsTom]

Elway with Favre a close second. Favre had both a strong and accurate arm...it was his decisions that got him in trouble.

I never saw Unitas so that's a tough one for me to have any perspective on.
