September 28, 201511 yr There's far too many unknown variables for you all that are saying there's absolutely no way any normal Joe could complete a pass.
September 28, 201511 yr I also think if you are not over 6' tall you would have no chance. I don't think you would be able to see anything and about 80% of your throws would be knocked down at the line and the other 20% were just lucky to get through. In other words, @gametime is a no.
September 28, 201511 yr There's far too many unknown variables for you all that are saying there's absolutely no way any normal Joe could complete a pass. Some people probably could, but I'm going to guess the % of just regular Joes that could is much less than 5%.
September 28, 201511 yr Yes. Wouldn't do great as far as for an entire series or game, but I could complete a pass.
September 28, 201511 yr There's far too many unknown variables for you all that are saying there's absolutely no way any normal Joe could complete a pass. Here are just four areas that I think the average Joe would be way behind an NFL QB... Arm strength (not in lifting weights, but by being able to throw the ball with some zip on it) Anticipation - Knowing what receiver is going to be open, when and where Awareness - Knowing what is going on with the defensive line to find your passing lane, but at the same time, being able to ignore them so you can concentrate on your receivers. Accuracy - Being able to put the ball where it needs to be. If you have any combination of these weaknesses, and the defense knows about them, then no, I don't believe you have much chance of completing a pass...especially in the pocket. Only chance I see, has already been mentioned here, is the bootleg and trying to hit a tight end heading into the flat. Only problem there is, how many of us are able to outrun a defensive end...and how many of us can throw it on the run hard enough to where a trailing LB or DB can't jump the pass and take it for a pick 6 the other way?
September 28, 201511 yr Or we simply don't have over-inflated unrealistic views of our athletic abilities.... A patriots fan saying overinflated is funny. I am not saying I could be a pro QB. I'm simply saying I can throw a football. It's pretty easy.
September 28, 201511 yr .... I think my best chance would be a sprint out to the right with 2 levels of guys running crosses and a come-back on the sideline. If the right side of the line does their job, at least I'll have vision and can throw one low and in front of a receiver and maybe he can go down and make a play on it.

September 28, 201511 yr Author Does a lateral count? If so then I like my chances. A lateral is not a pass, so no
September 29, 201511 yr If I couldn't complete a bubble screen, well, I should turn in my man card. Is that considered a pass? But good example
September 29, 201511 yr Is that considered a pass? But good example It is, so is a shovel pass. Easy stuff. The days of me being able to have enough juice to get a WR screen even out there in time are over.
