- Several of the top quarterbacks of the era (Including my personal favorite - Jim Everett) gathered in Hawaii in 1991 for some good-natured competition, putting their array of impressive skills on display. Also includes an amusing Domino's Pizza commercial. Don Criqui was on the call for NBC.
Huge huge huge thank you for uploading this!!!! Such a treasure!
The greatest ever, don criqui
Awesome stuff... In later years, the dink and dorkers took over at QB. The likes of Bulger, Harbaugh, Young, etc, just hitting 50 yards... (it aint be better in the 2020s, when Jalen Hurts couldnt heave a ball 50 yards on the SB hail mary try, or Russell Wilson waving his receivers to come back at MILE HIGH vs New England)
... And here you have real QBs throwing 71-77 yards.
Unfavorable wind conditions, people that can throw 75 struggles to pass 65.
What? If you can throw 75, you can pass 75. Because it means the same.
Headwind normally reduces distance, so the old, real QBs showed at this QB challenge are even more impressive. Cunningham and Schroeder are a given, but Hostetler is a surprise for me.
None (outside of Rodgers, Allen, Mahomes) of the overpaid dink and dorkers of nowadays are able to do that. All over-rated divas taking advantage of the no touch football underneath. The hailed "game winning" SB drive is a prime example. Actually it was sh.itty football to us oldtimers. Heck, even often injured Jim McMahon would throw for 6.000 yards nowadays, Marino for 8.000... @@dusty_five_2
Does anyone have footage of Dan Marino and John Elway in the distance throw? Or at least know what they threw for?
Nice!! Some old legends out there! :D
Did Marino ever do a long throw event in any one of these?? Curious to see prime Dan throw as far as he could.
Marino threw longest distance a few times in pro bowl
It seems I remember him not doing great in the distance throw. He could throw is 50 yards on a rope, but not 70 with air under it. His throwing motion was short and compact and didn't lend itself to 70 yard passes. Still, perhaps the most impressive pass I ever saw was an incompletion against, I think, the Browns right before half. He threw the ball, if my memory serves me correctly, darn near 60 yards on a rope. The announcers couldn't believe the ball made it there. I have never before, or since, seen a bullet of a pass cover that distance, and may never again.
Marino threw about 65 yards if I remember correctly the longest I ever saw and I think it’s still a record was Testeverde 80 yards.
Thanks for this. Do you have the previous years one?
I don't think so. I was pleasantly surprised to find this on my old VHS. 1990/91 was when I switched from Beta. I should be getting more of the old Beta tapes transferred soon so maybe another surprise will be in order.
Why was Elway never in these?
How far did Marino threw?
I belive it was about 65 yards
