Well considering the longest throw in NFL history was Baker Mayfield’s 70.5yd Hail Mary that wasn’t even a completion, I’d say it is literally not a thing.

Reportedly, Randall Cunningham once threw it 76 yards in the air in 1993.

That wasn’t during a game. You can find all sorts of reports of guys doing things at pro days, practice, whatever. Baker Mayfield’s 70.5 yard attempt during an actual game was the longest in history. So unless we’re concerned with how far they can throw in shorts with no defense, it’s probably not worth mentioning the unrecorded fables of NFL lore such as Cunningham’s 76 or Mahomes throwing out of Arrowhead stadium or Uncle Rico throwing it over the mountains.

Uncle Rico threw it across the state of Montana. Get yer facts straight.

So why the hell do we need a QB that can throw the ball 70 yards when it's not done by anyone in games?

Cannon for an arm is such an overrated trait. I'll take ball placement and touch over that poo any day. So much more important.

Bryce throws one of the most catchable balls I think i've ever seen.  Kid is money. 

That's a lot bigger deal than some know or will admit.

Fans love watching the guy with the rocket arm throw high velocity passes a lot more than receivers enjoy catching them.

Hell, some of Favre's guys ended up with broken fingers

Can we stop this? Bryce flung the ball 55 yards against GA on a sluggo in the conference championship game with zero forward momentum. We keep limiting what Bryce can and can’t do and it’s annoying. He has arm.

Vastly overrated, but a big deal to the "highlight reel" scouts.

Goofy as it sounds, I've actually had people tell me they'd just as soon watch an exciting loss as a boring win.

Winning is never boring.
