Which quarterback has the record for the longest throw(not just pass and in practice or game)???? Is there anyone who can throw the length of the field consecutively?

Back in '82 i could throw the pigskin a quarter mile. Who wanna bet i can't throw it over those mountains?

I don't know if anyone can throw it 100 yards today but I witnessed Terry Bradshaw in 1975 at a football camp at Louisiana Tech in Ruston, Louisiana throw the ball 100 yards in the air to Roger Carr. If I wouldn't have seen it I would not have believed it. The next person who may be able to do that is Jamarcus Russell from LSU. He can throw it 75 yards on one knee.

Well, Brett Favre is getting old now, but he can still throw the ball 70 yards in the air. If he was younger and in back in his good days, he might have been able to do it.

jamarcus russell can throw 66 yards on his back leg

and rumours of a 56 yard laser (dat means the ball stay flat for that distance)

and he can easily do 80 yards !!

Honestly, I belive it. I am not a football player, although I was begged by my High School coach to come out and play, but they had the worst offensive line in the county so that answered his question... I have thrown a football from the opposite 40 yard line through the goal post 2 of 3 times I've ever tired. That's 70 yards, 10 feet in the air. So I'm guessing somewhere in the 73-76 yard range.

jamarcus russell can throw the ball 65 yards on his back foot.

and can throw a laser( which is where the ball does not change height) 56 yards we would c it in the nfl but unfortuantly raiders have a shit offensive line

people say russell accuracy is not brillinat but thats just not true he was renown for his out side throw

i dont no thats why i asked

ive heard rumors of john elway throwing a football from his endzone threw the other goal post to scare the other team but that is just a rumor

i once threw from cleveland all the way to columbus, but that was with the wind

John Elway crossfeild pattern he could throw the all the way from one side of the feild to the other. on this one throw on third and 19 Elway rolled out to the right and threw it all the way to the other side of the feild like 75 yards in the air.

Also Kordell Stewart threw a pass 75 yards in the air in a game against Michagan

when joe namath was at alabama the word on campus was he could throw it 90 yds but i never saw him do it... way back, they say rudy bukich of the chicago bears could throw it from end zone to end zone but again i did not see it , only heard about it

Not sure, but I did witness on TV many years ago that Vinny Testaverde Threw a football 80 yards in a NFL quarterback challenge.

wise man. thats a buncha bull. its humanly imposible to throw a football teh length of the field, 80 yards is about as far as it can get.

I was visiting China and threw a football to Utah and my Bro caught it. But that was with the wind.

Cam Newton is just starting his career now but I think that he is promising off balance. He is comparable to a JaMarcus Russel or a Mike Vick, except I think that Cam Newton will stay out of trouble. Cam has a lot of potential.

There was an event called the NFL QB challenge which ran until 2007. One of the events was the long distance throw. Vinny Testaverde threw the ball 80 yards WITH a stong wind aiding his throw. That was THE RECORD. It would take double the force to throw it 100 yds. It has never happened. It will never happen. If you think scrawny ass bradshaw or namath did it you are sorely mistaken. Jamarcus Russell has the strongest arm right now and maybe he could throw 80. I will guarantee you that noone will ever throw a regulation football 85 yds without the wind.

Ben Roethlisberger

Not necessarily a record, as it was separately reported that Joe Namath (no surprise) threw a football from end zone to end zone.

But Greg Cook of the Bengals per Life Magazine (Oct. 10, 1969) threw what to fit the description would have been a pass of at least 100 yards.

"In practice he has actually thrown the ball the length of the field."

I am 43, an ex Div 3 baseball player, haven't thrown a football much but I have been practicing on a field. I can throw it 65 yards overhand. But underhand I can throw it over 50 and 40 yards on a straight line.

Let's start a competition in the USA, under 40, over 40 years of age.
LONG DISTANCE FOOTBALL THROW COMPETITION. Overhand and underhand, and two age groups.
Extra category, fastest clocked speed in each category get's prize.

I will put in 5 grand out of my own pocket.
We will solicit sponsors and donations.

Top three in each category get tv time (maybe a halftime NFL game like the old punt pass and kick..and a nice sweaty bundle of hundo's.

Who can help me get his launched?
Where's our ex punt and pass competition NFL players like Jim Kelly or
Andy Reed..what a great reality show! Perhaps Kenny Powers and the dude from Napoleon Dynamite (Uncle Rico) could do the announcing!

SIncerely,

JaMarcus Russell of LSU can throw the ball 80 yards on a flick and 40 yards sitting on the ground. He can surely throw the length of the field with ease.

Jeff Blake could throw the ball about 80 yards or more in the air, I suppose you are asking just about the pass without a WR, because there have been many 99 yard passes for TD's. Brett Favre was pretty good in his prime and could probably still throw about that far.
