I remember when Rex was coming to the NFL there were a lot of people comparing him to Jeff George in terms of arm strength, and unfortunatley at times during his career, he resembled Jeff George in brain too.

But no joke I always knew his arm was huge and I think that kind of got forgotten when we had the "good rex" and "bad rex" moments during 2006.

But i can't seriously remember the last time we have had a QB with a rifle arm and willing to take shots downfield. Mark Rypien had a cannon for an arm, I don't know who else recently besides Jeff George in 2000. Brunell could throw bombs when he was healthy. JC had a big arm but was afraid to throw downfield. Good to see the redskins throw some deep passes after so many years of run, run, run, punt.

I don't consider Rex's arm to be in elite company strength wise. His ball velocity does not compare to a Cutler, for example. That throw to Davis could have been even more productive if he got some more mustard on it. What compensates for this is his decisiveness with the ball.

His arm definitely isn't all that great. He tends to lob some up at times, and his deep throws leave something to be desired, but overall he's got more than enough arm to get the job done.

Not that it's saying much, but Patrick Ramsey had a cannon arm.

People seem to forget Patrick Ramsey threw for the 3rd most amount of yards in his 2 first career games in NFL history.
