How far can you throw a football?

When I was in High School I could throw it about 60 yards

Now, in need of rotator cuff surgery, 35 or 40 at best. Which is better than Tom Brady and I live on Bourbon and regret.
Sounds like lyrics to a country and western song🙂👍
 
Kyle got drafted in the 1st round because he could throw the ball through the uprights at the 50yd line, on his knees.


I think he did other things while on hiss knees too..!!!!

That was Baltimore’s battle cry and rhetoric….. He can throw the ball through the upright from the 50 on his knees…. I heard that argument over and over and over while our beloved STEELERS kept beating them. I’d just reply, how many TDS does he have doing that in the game ?

Are you referring to the pathetic throw at the end of the game by Hurts?

I need rotator cuff surgery I'll just wash it down with Bourbonnnn.

**** Tom Lady and the cheating team he came frommmm.
 
Maybe 25 yards but I’m 62 and had rotator cuff surgery on both shoulders.
Back in ‘82 I could toss a pigskin a quarter mile.

Misread this one at first


Thought you said ......... When I was High in school ... I could throw it about 60 yards

My Bad ..cat
 
easily 389.33 yards seven days a week and twice on Sundays ......... from the Edgewalk deck on the CN Tower

that ball be moving with such velocity that it could drop DJ before he had a chance to drop the ball

If Wide Receivers were the same height as the goalposts he might have been ok… now he probably make his living on his knees, only he isn’t throwing balls…

That's one I would have really had to have seen to believe. The lack of lower body involved and the reduced angle. I just never believed that any more than uncle rico and the mountain. I don't think I ever threw more than 40 but a guy in our Touch League could throw pretty damn much 70. If you played Db against you didn't look at the ball on the deep ones you just kept running.
 
Back in 82. I used to be able to throw a pigskin a quarter mile. ;)

Me and my buddy who is also a Steelers fan back in the day up here in Canada, he said to me. TB could throw a football 50 yards flat footed. Whether that was true or not no idea. We were in our late teens both Steelers fans late 70's early 80's. He subscribed every year to Steelers Digest or whatever it was back in the day and probably to this day.

There was a guy locally who was a big Steelers fan. Had an old pickup painted in Steelers colors with emblem and all. I think he may have had it at three rivers once or twice. A lot of Steelers fans here where I live which is also a Steel town.

In 82' dead start, you toss and I'd catch that 1/4 mile MF-er.

If Noll would have only scouted and drafted us, we'd been the SUPER STEELERS of the 80's.!!!
