Are you sure Rodgers hit over 70 yards? That would be quite an accomplishment, even for an established NFL veteran.

Only in his dreams. Anything over 60 yds is impressive. I remember Marino in the QB challenge (late 80's) threw about 63yds.However, Distance isn't what matters. It's velocity. It is extremely rare for a QB to throw a pass more than 40yds downfield. Most long plays involve YAC.HysterikiLL said:

As mediocre a QB he was he is a great guy
When my grandfather was dieing in the hospital we got Jay to autograph a football with a dolphins logo on it
It reads
'To Gary, all the dolphins are praying for you' Jay Fiedler
He's an awsome guy really just not a pro bowl QB

I hear Damon Huard was an awesome guy off the field too. My buddy went to a game and saw players rolling up in their fancy cars and stuff, and Huard rolled up in like a 96 Corolla.

I remember last year's competition pretty well. Rodgers won it, partly because none of the other QB's could keep it in bounds. I'm pretty sure it was a 65 yd throw that won it.
His approach was interesting, he only took like 1-2 steps to wind up and then released it. Almost nonchalant. He also threw one like 70 yds, but it was out of bounds.
David Greene, surprisingly, threw it 70+ yds too, but it was out of bounds as well. But he put his entire body into it, gave it everything he had.
I think Kyle Orton threw it 65+ yds, but he couldn't keep it in bounds either.
Jason White struggled to throw it 50 yds, pretty embarrasing.

Who D Best?
I think the NFL qb challenge is in Hawaii anybody know? I remember the last time i saw one (Palmer,Leftwich,Mckown,Brunell, Green might have been last years) the wind was pretty strong and the qbs were throwing against them.

Rodgers did. He got an incredible score, I think he set a record. Hit like 3-4 bullseyes if I'm not mistaken.PhinsRDbest said:

I'll be watching. I would like to see how far Whitehurst managed to throw it with his shoulder still recovering from surgery. I also would find it interesting to see how far Young managed to throw it.

Should give us a good idea of their accuracy as passers too, since accuracy can't be accurately broken down into a simple percentage. For instance, Whitehurst's accuracy percentage at Clemson is inflated this season by the sheer number of bubble screens and flat passes that they call.
