Greatest arm ever but unfortunately the poster child for entitlement. All that talent but a dbag through and through. He was hated even as a high schooler. He got hurt during a game with Purdue his freshman year and his mom ran on the field to comfort him. He transfered to Illinois after not being able to handle the crap he got from Purdue fans about being such a mommy's boy.

Growing up in the 90s as a Raiders fan I was obviously a huge Jeff George fan too. I remember styling my throwing motion to emulate his side arm slings in pop warner, man I threw a lot of interceptions. Great times.

Saw Jeff George play in person several times and the guy had a cannon for an arm. Effortless looking flicks were his 50 yd throws, his 60 and 70 yard bombs were thrown like missiles head high.. no ‘lobs’ in his arsenal. He was an amazing talent and an extremely accurate passer

The throw at 5:00 is absurd and the throw right after that is mind blowing. He flicks his wrist and - WHILE FLATFOOTED - throws an absolute dart. Unreal arm talent.

He was kind of ahead of his time. He thrived in the Run-N-Shoot which was basically what most teams run nowadays. The Mahomes comparisons are valid, even thought the guy wasn't mobile at all, but the ability to throw from any platform and make any throw on the field should be appreciated. Sadly, he clashed with coaches and was never on a contender.

George seemed to generate the most amount of velocity with the least amount of effort. Bradshaw, Elway, Favre, Vick, Rodgers could all launch it, but none in the effortless way that George did.
