Sure many can hit 80... if you converted to kilometer per hour.

Meat Pies and Old Charter add at least 20 yds and/or 15mph.

The rest would fail miserably and throw between 20-40.



This is insane. You think normal guys can throw a football 35 yards? How is that possible? You cant complete a normal route if you cant throw a ball beyond 30 yards.

That makes no sense in the context you used it in.

why would I say the average joe could throw an 80mph fastball? There are enough baseball players and pitchers that throw that hard to support my point that 20% more is significant.

Are you arguing that throwing a football 20% farther or baseball 20% harder is not a significant difference?

NFL ball(The Duke): 45 yds on average with one outlier of 60 yards. I could never reproduce what I did that specific toss. Anyone want to compete IRL? This type of stuff makes me unreasonably competitive.

I'll take that challenge, but I'm gonna need a year to warm up.

Not sure, but no one in your quote was talking about pros.

No one said 20% isn't significant. It just has no point in this conversation. No one is talking about how far pros can throw it, unless the OT is populated by pro athletes.

Obviously not.
