That is with ZERO accuracy. Its a toss and a prayer.

Now, I have kicked a 42 yard FG that bounced off the crossbar and over. That count for anything?


The sad thing is that I can throw accurate. Accurate enought to put a 5'6" guy as a back up qb in high school (although I started at tailback). Problem was I was deadly accurate to about 20-30 yards. after that like you said it was a duck shoot. Plus if it makes you feel better I tried to get the starting fg kicker but I could kick high but not long.


Either my technique is piss poor or I'm a pussy.

That your tops is 42yards which is awesome.. You can now claim you can kick a FG 40+ yards..

Can you do it all the time?? No, but that is not the point I was trying to get across on the guys that can throw 55yards..

Dude the kicker who shall go unnamed here couldn't claim he could kick 40+ reliably.

hmm... right now probalby about 40 yards maybe. If i got in shape a bit, i could chuck it 50plus i think. I know i used to be able to when i was a bit younger. I had a pretty decent arm. I was a pitcher as a kid in baseball. So, that helped as i was a starter. i had to throw alot.

I've not hit another 40+ since. When I tried I would kick it nuts on center but always short.

I played FB anyway so kicking, or throwing for that matter, were not a really important part of my repertoire (yes I had to look up how to spell it). :D

Throwing the football isnt hard for most people. its getting the accuracy they do thats the big thing. lol

High school, college and pro fields are 53 1/3 yards wide. Yes, I looked it up.

dellzip 08-29-2009 07:41 AM

Not very far@

I'm guessing about 40 yards or so. The width of the field is 53 yards, and I know I can't quite make it across that. When we used to go out and play in the old stadium at KSU, we'd set up the field so that our end zones were sideline to sideline, that way other groups could use the field too. We'd set up cones to mark "hard" first downs. SUPER easy to throw to the cone from the end zone, which after a small dropback is 30 yards. But REALLY tough to throw the 53 yards all the way across.

I'll go 40.

55+

:BS:

My guess would be that 4, perhaps 5 people could do it, (No idea which 4-5) but 18......I call BS.

I challenge you to a throw off, good sir.

I guarantee, ****ing guarantee I say, that I can throw a football a total of.................................................................................................. ..............................5 yards. Likely even 15.

DBOSHO 08-29-2009 10:37 AM

Pablo 08-29-2009 12:49 PM

LOL...1 out of 5 people that voted in this poll throw it 55+.

I can throw and hit a 90 mph fastball.

I can drive 320..with a 10 mph wind in my face.

I can dunk a basketball. I am typical CP Poster.
