seriously, can anyone confirm if i'm in the right ballpark when i estimate that manning's range was 75 yards in his prime? please
There is no way to confirm but I think 75 is doubtful.
75 yards is elite distance and while Peyton Manning has a good arm he doesn't have elite arm strength.
I remember a QB Challenge w/ Hasselbeck, Vick, Aaron Brooks, Manning, Brunell and the distance competition was won with a throw under under 70 yards.
As a frame of reference Flacco (who I think we all can agree has elite arm strength?) can almost throw it 75 yards:
