Re: How long could John Elway throw a football in his prime

There is a competition in the offseason that is a skills challenge for NFL QBs and it includes a throw for distance. I can't find it online, but I'm pretty sure that no one ever got to 80 yards.
There is no way that Elway, or any other QB could throw 100 yards in the air.

I'm almost positive I saw Favre throw it over 80 yards in the QB challenge.

I am surprised more of you don't remember these the longest throws in that competition were around 80 yards. I remember Bledsoe back in the late 90s could throw the [censored] out of the ball, and he would throw it between 75-83. So I don't think Elway could throw it 100 unless it was some seriously positive coniditions, like wind and alt.
Side note: if you throw over 90 MPH in baseball you can throw the ball around 100 yards, on average.
