Studs and Duds

[cpk1994]

65 yds in the air? I would think just about any NFL QB can do that - my University QB did it. Kyle Boller, JP Losman, Akili Smith and Rex Grossman can all do it.The question is more do you want them to.

Have you ever watched one of those things? Many of the QBs couldn't throw it 65 yards. You'd think they can, but they don't.

Doing a little research.

In 2006, Byron Leftwich won with a 73 yard throw.

In 1998, Favre threw it 76 yards and that was a record at the time.

Couldn't find much else. I know Cunningham had one that was close to 80 yards early in his career, but he threw it out of bounds. That dude had a crazy arm on deep balls.

Being able to throw in those things without a huge windup and without somebody about to crush you is different than throwing it 66 yards in a game. It's impressive. You don't see it too often in a game. I'd guess if Rodgers could throw it 66 yards in a game, he could add several yards in the QB challenge competition where he'd have several throws and would be able to wind up. That would put him amongst the best in that competition. Who knows though? Maybe he threw the ball further than he's ever thrown it.

I heard that Favre was rarely invited because they knew he would have just blown everyone away.

Considering he stunk when he did compete in that(other than long distance throw of course) I don't think that is true.
