My father-in-law is an idiot and says Joe Namath could throw a football 100 yards. I told him it is impossible

Question

Please let me know on record who can throw the farthest.

Answer 1

If Joe Namath were on top of a building and he threw a football, it could travel 100 yards or more. Did he say what direction he'd be throwing it in? Vertical vs. Horizontal could make the difference.

Answer 2

Joe Namath can only throw it 60 yards in perfect weather. However, in football run after the catch is accounted for in the passing yard, thus if Joe threw it 10 yards and his receiver caught it and ran it for another 90 yards, then the stat will show a 100 yards pass.

Answer 3

Just as the human limit for throwing a baseball seems to be a little over 100mph, the human limit for throwing a football is probably a little over 60 yards.

Answer 4

Why is it impossible to throw the ball 100 yards? You tell me.

Answer 5

You are right, your F.I.L. is an idiot. Joe could not throw a hundred yard pass even at his peak

Answer 6

Tell Ying why it's impossible and tell your father in law to stop trying to pick fights over stupid idiotic none sense.

Answer 7

i do not see why he can't throw 100 yards. back in the day a QB named sweeten threw for 99 in a game

Answer 8

I would say 75-80 yards is max but do not really know.

Answer 9

HE FORGOT TO TELL YOU, HE WOULD HAVE TO THROW IT 3 TIMES TO EQUAL 100 YARDS.I THINK JEFF GEORGE HAS THE STRONGEST ARM I HAVE SEEN.

Answer 10

I don't know boys, we are talking about one of the greatest ALABAMA players of all time :-D
