so that makes it OK to sport the elephant head Alabama logo while on LSU's sideline during a national TV broadcast?
guess you'd be OK with our Houston area alum rocking Aggie gear too?
or maybe if Patrick Peterson was flashing Da U since he's from that area?
Yall gripe over the dumbest shite. Should I get mad at you for wearing anything other than official Louisiana stuff?
Russell was at LSU for 4 years, went 21-4 in his final 2 years starting, beat the breaks off of Notre Dame, and won the Sugar Bowl. Why would I care that he has an Alabama chain on?

I've seen every LSU QB since Bert Jones and I would rate Burreaux #1 & Jamarcus and Jones 2a and 2b. When Jones was playing he split time with Pat or Paul Lyons (Jones #2 overall pick in the NFL draft splitting time?) Crazy... but he wasn't nor was the game back then, a passing game. I'd love to see what Bert could do in today's college game. He'd light it up. All three were/are great players. God bless all three and a special prayer for Jamarcus.

if that was doable, let alone by a WR, it would have been on a very clear and obviously unedited video by now. but it’s not. meaning a 100 yard+ (in air) pass just ain’t happening.
Well buddy that was in 1978 or 1979. Can’t support it with a video from a practice that was more or less winding down for the day. Drew Pearson was a WR for Joe Theisman in high school. Played a little QB in high school and college. Dude had a cannon but was not accurate.
Patrick Mahomes chunking it from end zone to end zone with ease up in Denver.

There is one on YouTube of Odell Beckham Jr heaving a ball from end zone to end zone.

Lamar Jackson did it in high school on camera. Not the best quality video but that ball went what I think he says it went.

Jamarcus had a higher QB rating than both Jones and Hodson.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but we won a NC the year before JR became our starter and the year after he left, but while he was our starter, we didn’t even win our conference.

You’re wrong. Marcus Randall started in 2004.
And to go further, 2006 team was better than 2007.

ball disappears and can’t see where it lands.
does it land at the 30? the 20? the 8th row?
can’t tell.

there is no way in hell that’s a 100 yard field. look how close the building (behind end zone) is to the camera compared to the goal post in the Mahomes video.

can’t see where he’s standing.

there’s 80,000+ cameras at every major college and NFL game and we can’t get better than a 1950s bigfoot sighting quality recording?
especially with a diva like Beckham.
he’d do it before every single game and make sure ESPN’s skycam followed entire flight of the ball.
or have a slow-mo highlight reel play multiple times per season like his one handed catches in practice videos.

By your logic Tee Martin was better than Peyton Manning.
Neither Bert Jones nor Tommy Hodson won a NC, either.

Science and physics agrees with you. No QB I’ve ever seen in a game or a throwing competition has thrown a ball from one end zone to another. However, and I have absolutely no way to prove it, but Drew Pearson did it, and honestly no one acted like it was that big of a deal. I called my 77 year old dad and asked him was that a shortened field and he said no it was a full length field. I don’t necessarily think NFL QB’s are going to be the ones that can do it. It’s going to be some off the wall freak like that WR, a javelin thrower, or possibly a baseball pitcher.
I tell you what. I’m business associates and friends with Bert Jones. I grew up in Ruston and import lumber in Mobile. Bert and his brother Bill owns Mid-State Wood Preservers so I buy some softwood KDAT pine from them. I’m going to call and ask Burt is it true that he could throw the ball from one end zone to the other. Bert is not a guy that would lie about something like that. Having said that I’ve heard it from dozens of people that said they saw him do it that played with him at LSU.
It’s damn near impossible to do according to the science and physics involved but I think there are a few freaks out of there that have done it or can. The list is tiny though over the last 50 years.

And you happen to know one, and seen another do it in person lol

Rick Ankiel had one of the strongest arms anyone ever saw and throwing a BASEBALL was one hopping it to the catcher at 100+ yards.
anyone who has played both sports can agree you can throw a baseball farther than a football.
there is video of Jackey Bradley Jr running, crow hopping, and hurling a baseball about 400'. which is roughly 133 yards.
no way a human is non-chalantly chucking a football anywhere even remotely close to a similar distance.

After reading the thread, the point is Bert had a hell of a cannon himself that would rival Jamarcus's. We don't need to downplay one or the other's arm strength because they both had it in spades.
