First, um, no, they can't. No one can.
Second, even if they could, they wouldn't do it on a deep ball in a game.
There is this thing called the defense. To properly place the ball where it needs to be, you have to throw it over two or three levels of defense. Many times, you have to 'drop it in' between the linebackers and the defensive backfield.
Or, throw it downfield over the cb and let the WR run underneath it.
But, the premise than anyone can throw fifty yards FLAT.... is um... well, very, very false.
I am not saying that Cassel has a 'cannon', but he isn't Chad Pennington either.
Brady doesn't have a rocket arm. Heck, Croyle's 'arm strength' is much better than Brady... but I will take Brady every day of the week and twice on Sunday.
