Bert had a much stronger arm that Elway. Just watch the film. Elway was a body thrower, much like Manning. To generate velocity Elway had to use the torque of his entire body.

Watch Bert Jones play with a separated shoulder on MNF against the Redskins in '78 ,throwing frozen ropes with just a flick of his wrist. Even BB says that Bert was the best thrower of the football, that he's ever seen.
