How can you pay someone 10 million a season and not have them be able to throw the ball 26 yards down field without making it look like they punted it?

Fugg if I know! But it was most definately a Hail Mary. Until I saw it, I thought the same thing. No way could it really have been a Hail Mary from 26 yards. Damndest thing I have ever seen outside of the fake FG by the Raiders.
