Can you kneel down on both knees at the 40 and throw it threw the goal posts? Kramer said this week that Rolo can. Now that's a cannon!

A Griz Fan said Swogger can throw it through from the 50, sitting down. Sounds like the start of an urban legend.

Who has the biggest arm??

Both have Cannons for arms. 50 sitting down I would like to see though.

It was kneeling down. We might actually get to see this sometime this year if our OC can't find any way to protect Swogger better! :D

The QB from Cal who went to the Ravens could do something impressive like that as well (kneeling, I believe). I can't remember how far out he was, but it was impressive to watch.

When Krames was my freshman high school basketball coach (does that scene crack you up: Krames coaching hoops??), he had us kneel on the end line and try to throw a basketball to the other end. Of course, we were all 105 pound freshman weaklings with no arms. Needless to say, we didn't make it.

I don't think there will ever be a need to do this though...unless it's in the NFL!

That's a great arm.

But Brandon "Chuck Norris" Hoffenbacker can sit at the 50 yard line and kick it through the uprights.
:wink:

Is this kind of like that "blew chunks" joke? Is "a mountain" your dog's name?

I used to be able to throw a football a quarter-mile. Top that, Rolo!

Good question BC...nope, can't do it.....BUT....I can pop a Bud Light beer top over the back end of a pick up and hit you in the back while bbq'ing.

And, I have four years of eligibility left.

Put me in coach!

Can't do it either but I heard that John Elway once threw 70 yards from his knees and Terry Bradshaw threw the javelin for a world record but it didn't stick and it those days that did not count.
