Lol he absolutely did not effortlessly flick it. He put his entire ass into it, just like Ridder did. Maybe that’s what it seems like from the video but nobody at any level effortlessly throws a football 70 yards

90s Brett could but he was a freak

Doesn't mean a lot to me personally but it does to some...

Thanks, I can never get it to work for some reason.  It doesnt mean too much to me either but I know some people really moved Willis up in their opinions based on his yesterday.   There arent many plays where a qb needs to bomb it 65 or 70 yards.

Yeah. They both three hopped those throws. The funny thing is that a huge stink was made about Wilson’s throw last year. But his throw was more of a 45-50 yard flick. These guys are basically three hopping a 70 yard Hail Mary. It’s a totally different kind of pass and neither were as impressive as Wilson.

Wilson’s was insane. He really makes it look effortless…  If they can build a team around him NYJ might have something special.

Malik sorta flicked it effortlessly while Ridder had to MAXIMUM EFFORT it. In the end you are talking 3 or 4 throws a season that would go that far. 

no he didn't, watch his follow through, he uncorks his whole body and falls to his left

    • i love people with no medical experience making tenuous assumptions based on, uh, the fact his dad sucked in every practical lab in med school and had to go into psychiatry its fun to think of what these same fans would be saying with any other profession "well his dad was a cardiologist so obviously he knows how to stay calm." "well his dad was a neurologist so oviously he keeps his brain waves at a low level and isn't at risk of seizure, which is good (obviously)." "well his dad is a surgeon so he knows how to overcome his lack of confidence over height." "well his dad was a pediatrician so that's why he looks like a child, but kids don't get injured easily and have limitless potential so-"
    • Oh it’s made the decision easier knowing we were years away from competing. He just obviously didn’t think it was some sort of clown show as he took a job with that staff and still hangs around to help. Injuries were the major concern. Willis retired “early” as well, plus there was another very young LB in SF that did. Positions that take a lot of impact are starting to not push themselves too late in their careers to protect their long term health. 
    • Obviously his health was the reason but the state of the team definitely helped. Luke doesn't strike me as someone who cares about individual accomplishments much at all. He loved the game and he wanted to win with the Panthers.  He wouldn't risk his life to go chase a ring elsewhere. It was difficult for him to step away from a team that was bad, if the Panthers were serious contenders I really think he would have tried to see it through.  Everything worked out the way that it was meant to in the end. It was sad seeing his career cut short but if he had a suffered a serious injury from football I can't even imagine. EDIT: To be clear I don't think the medical staff was part of his decision at all. It just helped that the team was far from winning a SB when he bowed out.
