5. It Has To Be A Short List

The percentage of QBs still playing at 36 is small.
Now, it has to be a 36 year old with a big arm.
I'd be tempted to add Fouts to your list, but I never thought of him as a bomber, but a precision timing guy.
Naturally, he had a strong arm; every NFL QB does.
How about Ken Anderson? He was playing at 37, but not full seasons, so the deep ball may have been gone.
I'm glad you included Warren Moon. IMO, nobody ever threw a better deep ball than Warren.
