Re: How long could John Elway throw a football in his prime
Plenty of guys can throw a baseball for a homerun. Probably every decent rightfielder and catcher in the league, and most pitchers.
And there is no way John Elway could throw a football 100 yards in the air. Real NFL teams will at times use a strongerarmed backup for longer Hail Mary plays, so if Jackson could really throw it 100 yards he almost certainly would've been asked to do that from time to time. More importantly, if he could throw it 100 yards at all he likely would've been able to throw it 40+ accurately and he would've been an NFL QB.
