So you will continue believing those 32 qbs won strongest arm competitions and that is why they are NFL qbs 
Jamarcus Russel could probably throw it further than all of them...guess he will be in Canton one day

There will be a lot of truth here haha.
With that being said... Pending on the circumstance, when I am practicing I can rach 45 yards maybe... When I am playing in real games I can get it about 55. Adrenaline I suppose.

At the end of the grueling workout, Flacco was asked to stand with his feet parallel and throw the ball as far as he could. Flacco maxed out at 73 yards, the second-best mark for any quarterback Cameron has ever worked ou

Whatever numbnuts said Flacco can throw a football 73 yards flat footed is just dumb.
Im sure Cam Cameron just made that up.

Yeah throwing an NFL regulation football 60 yards is simple. Right
50-60. That means anything in between. Standing in the endzone, crow-hopping to the goaline and getting it to midfield. That is not easy but it's not hard for anyone that has any type of athleticism at all.

A. I said college football
B. I said I could throw it 50 and 60 if perfectly spun.
I am no e-badass and don't care if you believe me. They have equipment managers at LSU that throw the balls 40+ yards before games and that is trying to be accurate and not throw as hard as they can.

I guess the guys who question arm strength never saw Kordell Stewart heave one about 75 yds to beat michigan

Flacco threw a 70 yarder. Most of them were landing in the low 60's.
That is 20 and 10 yards further than what I said I could do with a college ball. Thats a big fricking difference.

My original comment that some people are full of shite was not directed at you. It was directed at an individual that said an NFL football. I even quoted that in the message that you responded to.

Again, the original comment was not directed at you. See original quote. Guy said he could throw an NFL football 50-60 yards and didn't caveat it.

40 yards with a college ball is believable. 60 yards with an NFL football is not.

Yea, it was directed towards me. I said 50-60. 60 would be difficult but we were throwing at 50 yards a few wks ago and I was conistently going over there heads. We even broke out the range finder to makr our distance.

Yeah, and the comparisons to NFL QB's are not really necessary. There's a difference between throwing a football 55 yards with all your might and throwing a football 55 yards with low trajectory and high velocity
huh? These qb's were slinging it at prob 98% of what they could in a longest throw competition.

Amazing the level of athleticism on the ot.

Surely you know that NCAA and NFL footballs are virtually the same size...

Played high school quarterback...Was 6'6" 195lbs...Could throw 75 yrds with no wind. Now I am 6'6" 230lbs and 35 years old...Can air it out about 60 yards...I could always chunk a football far and with accuracy...Played high school baseball and threw low 90's...Couldn't hit the side of a barn...Didn't start playing until I was a junior in high school...First 6 batters I faced, I hit 4 of them and was kindly ejected from the game never to hit the mound again.

55 yds or so.
Posted on 8/27/14 at 12:27 pm to dallaslsufan
Sounds about average for the OT. Everyone here is 6'6" 230.

I just know I've never tried to throw an NFL football as far as I can. I own several college balls and play football regularly with them.
Never said they were really different.
Also, I just googled and it appears college balls weigh a little less and are a tiny bit smaller, but not by much in either category.
