Settle a Football bet for me
A co-worker and I were discussing a recent college football game where at the end of the game one of the teams throws a hail-mary. The line of scrimmage was their own 30 yard line, and the QB threw the ball all the way to the end-zone (70+ yards).
This led to a discussion about how many starting NFL QB's could do the same (i.e. throw the ball 70+ yards in the air). So I have come to 2+2 to help settle the issue. |

I say 2/32. Vick and Favre. That's about it.
Maybe Manning. But no where near the 8/32 needed for 25%. |

Re: Settle a Football bet for me
I think strickly throwing for distance with no one else on the field you would be surprised how many could do it.

Re: Settle a Football bet for me
It's a really tough question because they rarely have long ball contests, no one ever ends up throwing it that far in a game. Maybe the Pro Bowl should add this to the skills contest, and finally settle the debate.

Re: Settle a Football bet for me
Only the best QBs can throw it through the goalposts from the 50 yard line. On their knees.

Re: Settle a Football bet for me
the cool trick is hitting that circle on the goalpost where the two uprights meet in the center. i bet if you just let them do whatever they want in any clothing they want that about a third (if i assume 3 qbs/team at least one on each team could do this) of the nfl qbs could do it. im sure there are plenty of backups with strong arms, they just make crapass decisions during games.

Re: Settle a Football bet for me
When I was a senior QB in HS I could throw the ball 70+ yards...No bull [censored] either.
