Who has/had the best ...

Quickest Release: Dan Marino
Hardest Throw: Brett Favre
Best Deep Ball: Tom Brady

Who has/had the worst ...

Slowest Release: Tim Tebow
Weakest Throw: Christian Ponder
Worst Deep Ball: Anthony Dilweg

Edit, gonna go with Tom Brady over Joe Montana for best deep ball touch, even though Tom Brady usually has 3 minutes to set and make said throw. There's a few old QB's that I liked theirs more, just can't think of their name.

Edit2, eh fudged up deep ball. Think of it like this, if you had to pick one guy to throw the ball 50 yards in the air and land the nose of the ball onto a dime to win you $1,000,000 who would you choose?

How about the same criteria, but "worst" as well as best, and current starters/pseudo-starters only.

Best:
Quickest: Rodgers.
Hardest: Cutler
Best deep: Rodgers

Worst:
Slowest: Ponder
Weakest: Flacco
Worst deep: Smith

And Cutler had an uncharacteristically very low yardage output per game.

Fortunately for us, they went and got Marshall and Jeffery to go down field. So the poor decisions and inaccurate throws will end up giving us lots of pick opportunities.

I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.

Montana didn't have a good deep ball. He didn't have a strong arm. He is however a better QB than Favre as is 🇦🇷. But you're only asking 3 questions - Quickest Release, Hardest Throw, and Best Deep Ball and I'm answering all 3 honestly.

Me thinks that we can attribute Wades's comments to one of three things:
1. He gets all his NFL information from Bleacher Report.
2. He's blowing smoke out of his ass again.
3. He's smokin' some killer shit that he is not sharing.

On second thought, it may be a combination of all three. 🤔

And as far as zombieslayer's picks.. well... when it comes to Brett Favre, we all know what a freakin' Homer ZS becomes.

Aaron Rodgers has superior ball placement on deep balls than Brett Favre did.

I think Kurt Warner had a good deep ball too.

In fact my nickname for him is Joe Flaccid.

I suppose it could be because he's not bright enough to know which passes should have heat on them and which should be soft touch throws.

I'm just glad he plays for a potential playoff opponent. I'd rather face Flacco than Cutler any day. IMO he's one of the most overrated of NFL quarterbacks.
