Had to reply to this. +10 ^^^^^
George had the absolute strongest arm EVER in the NFL, even in today's era where you had guys that had crazy arms like Jamarcus, Matt Stafford, Cutler, etc..
There's no shortage of players to tell you how hard Jeff George threw the ball, it was like an absolute rifle. And his arm strength never dipped with age, go check out the youtube video of his open workout from around 2010 or so. I think by that time George was about 40 and was still throwing 65 & 70 yard deep passes and making it look easy.
But as you said - if only he had the million dollar brain to go along with his arm. He would have been the best of all time, no question about it with his arm ability.
