How far can you throw a football?
The other thread got me thinking about this. A few months ago I went out to the local HS football field to see how far I could throw a football. I have well-muscled shoulders but I couldn't get it over 30 yards.

Are NFL quarterbacks just born with the ability to throw a ball 50-60 yards (this is about as far as I remember anyone on the NFL quarterback challenge throwing a football), or do I just have shitty mechanics or something?

How far can you throw a football?

SO yeah, next time you're in town, ping me, I have some good courts in which you can actually see the skyline. Ha. That'd be badass, based JUST on our conversation last yr. I'd bet we'd play pretty close.

Heres another question... How far can you kick a field goal? My record is 45 yards. Made it with plenty of room to spare. But I havent kicked it better than that yet. Im not much of a kicker.

I could probably toss the rock 40 yards, maybe. Once would be it, arm would probably dislocate.

I seriously don't understand the people questioning this. 55 yards isn't a problem at all.
