Goff finds "Sidearm deliveries cause a little more precession in the spin axis because that axis is usually a little more away from the launch velocity compared to an overhand throw which leads to a little more air resistance for a sidearm throw compared to an overhand throw. Lower release points also require slightly greater launch angles for long throws. A greater launch angle means a longer time of flight, which might give corners a little more time to get to the ball.
Goff said, "Just as a simple example, say that a quarterback wants to throw a bomb, nearly 60 yards. The quarterback releases the ball at 50 mph with a release angle of 45 degrees, and the ball is caught at the same height at which it was thrown. The ball goes nearly 56 yards down the field in about 3. A well-thrown spiral doesn't have too much air resistance, so those numbers don't change much when including the air. If you drop the arm a foot like in a sidearm throw such as Tim Tebow's, the range is just a tad over 49 yards and the time of flight is about 3.
The conclusion of something like a 12 percent reduction in bomb distance is the new result, as long as one assumes the release speed has dropped 5 percent and the release angle has increased five degrees.
Goff concluded, "The time of flight is just under a tenth of a second longer, which might be enough for a corner to close a little gap that he couldn't otherwise close. Some turned that arm-strength into championship results while others experienced sporadic moments in the spot-light.
Past power-passers such as John Elway, Brett Favre, Jeff George, Drew Bledsoe, Randall Cunningham, Vinny Testaverde, Jim Kelly, Sonny Jurgensen and Daryle Lamonica all dazzled fans through the years with highlight rainbow trajectories deep down field for touchdowns and fastball strikes into seemingly invisible seams through defensive secondaries.
Others, like Kyle Boller and Jamarcus Russell, never could harness their arm-power to make it work for them. In an article posted on Livestrong. Parrish noted that Packer gunner Brett Favre was estimated at 63 mph. Now retired passing star and Hall-of-Famer-to-be Peyton Manning pre-neck injury could hit 59 on shorter throws. According to some, including former Bronco wideout Rod Smith, John Elway brought the greatest velocity to the field. It is said Elway ripped it consistently in the plus MPH.
Here is a look at the results of NFL Combine velocity reads from to In some cases the perceived is reaffirmed, but a few surprising speed readings are popped by passers who just may have been mislabeled by more than a few football writers and profiling bloggers failing to pay attention. The list consists of quarterbacks currently on rosters or actively seeking pro employment, their college, current team if on a roster and their Ball Velocity. Bills running back Zack Moss says Allen can throw it yards , but I think he just picked a round number.
Honestly, this is neck and neck. Because Allen came out on top in the only official arm strength measurement we have, I have to give him the slight edge. But all highlights and statements from both players suggest that this would come down to a yard or two. Entering this weekend, this is clearly the most important question in the football world. What would it look like if a player was as tall as Joel Embiid while weighing a few pounds more than Steph Curry?

Mahomes clicked the radar gun at 60 mph during the NFL Combine. Around 60MPH. Around 50—60 mph. Ahead of the game, Hasselbeck gave Allen the edge over Mahomes in the head-to-head quarterback matchup, saying that Allen had proven to be the better quarterback over the past six games.
He yawned at ESPN. Matt CasselMatt Cassel. This will surely catch some flack from Chiefs fans, but Cassel has never had a strong arm. According to information from the scouting service Ourlads. Did the speed measure up to the flamethrowers in baseball? How close was he to triple digits? Sixty miles per hour. Sixty, as in slower than a knuckleball. Logan Thomas throwing slower than a high-school baseball pitcher.
That seems ridiculously low, right?
