I want Dilfer to back up Green next season. Collins or Huard can go. In two years, we draft Jamarcus Russell from LSU. Those two Trents can teach any QBOTF a boat load.

I don't think Trent has a "rag arm" but as soon as that projection popped up on the screen, I called bullshit. Monday Night Favre threw and absolute laser during the game, and they said it was the equivalent of a 98 mph fastball...comparitively, Favre's pass looked MUCH faster.
So either I'm losing my eyesight, or ESPN's stat guys ****ed up. |
I love that trajectory tracker. It's really effective in showing just how strong and accurate ANY pro quarterback is. Even their short passes are travelling quite a distance.

Since this pass went 63 feet, that means for it to have been going 91mph the ball would have needed to arrive at the receiver in about half a second. It was a short pass but that sounds a little too quick. But, it's a comparable distance to a baseball pitch, which I think is about 58 feet?
Maybe they are compensating for the force required to be exerted on the thrown object. Certainly the same force in Newtons would throw a baseball and a football at different speeds due to the different natures of the two objects. |
I suspect that they probably got some physics prof to give them a very simple formula for converting "football speed" to "baseball speed." Truthfully, I'll bet the formula is pretty complicated.

NFW is a football thrown equivalent to a 91 mph fastball. They aren't factoring in the inertia. Then, again, I will never challenge Trent Green to a game of dodgeball. |
I watched the Chiefs "tank" every year for almost the entire decade of the 1980's...Didn't notice them winning any Super Bowls because of it...
You have to be a complete football moron to actually think that having a crap record automatically equates to improvement... |
It's usually not a bad idea to draft in the 10-20 range. Very good talent at cheaper cap tags. Just think if we could have drafted LJ or DJ higher!!! If only we'd had a pick high enough to get Freeney...
