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?

Maybe we should have a throw-off at the Planet bash.

I don't either, there are 3-4 guys from flag football on here that can chuck it that far.. Do they do it during the games?? No because their accuracy sucks.. Hell if you go past 35-40 yards my accuracy is horrible.. I can throw it further I just don't because it would be pick 6 or out of bounds..

Wutamess is good though that far and more.. Phil is not to shabby either..

Maybe I am just jaded by meeting the actual athletic or active people on the board??

How many times have you actually thrown the ball?? It might be a steeper learning curve if you did not grow up playing football..

I need to try to make it one of these times when you guys play. I play in a couple leagues in BS, one indoor 5 on 5 and an outdoor 7 on 7 league. I've never been able to make it to the CP games though.

I wish I could join the stuff CP does outside of the board...Living in Colorado makes that extremely difficult. It would be fun to play some flag football with some of you guys. Just to see what you got.

They are a blast, great group of guys that just like to have fun.. They played a lot of games out at mission south in kansas.. Which I hate driving in Kansas.. Wish they would go back to Raytown, there is a Popeye's right down the street.. Love their spicy chicken..

We will start playing tackle football here in a few weeks in the northland.. My friends have been practicing at Macken park, they take it way to serious and get tired of getting beat by the Iraqi team..

I suggested you change your grip since you have small hands.
