imo that whole play has nothing to do with coverage or speed or turning the wrong way....it has to do with a qb who threw a 63 yard pass on the button and heres the most incredible thing he threw it on a farging rope

any other qb EVER who attempts to make that pass throws that ball on much more of an arc and landry probably knocks it down

but who throws a ball that far ON A LINE...it was just an other worldly throw

i can take a phrase thats rarely heard...flip it....now its a daily word

igy gettin it done like warrick

im the board pharmacist....always one step above yous

No doubt. I think the thing Mayock was trying to say was that even though the deck was stacked against Landry making any kind of play, it was "over" completely for him the second he took his eyes of both Pimp and the ball.

Truth.  So perfect that DeSean had to kick in an extra gear just to barely catch it and barely stay upright enough to take it to the house.  One yard further and DeSean has to make a diving attempt... One yard shorter and Landry can make a play on it.

He had a couple other worldly throws that game, like the TD to Avant.

Vick without a doubt has the strongest arm in NFL history. But I agree that it is so impressive that not only can he gun it, but every throw is a perfect spiral.

I was so used to McNabb's dying ducks.
Calling it right on the $ since day one.
Just pointing laughing, and living it up while watching the Miami Heat stink it up.

A dying duck is a ball that has no spiral and flails out of control in the air. The distance has nothing to do with it.

Yeah, he didn't do that much either.

Perhaps you're thinking of Kolb's well publicized weak arm?

I always thought McNabb's balls had the absolute worst spirals. Those things were sputtering by mid flight.

You're confusing spiral with distance. A common mista- wait, not it isn't.

PoopyfaceMcGee

He's confusing McNabb with McNair.  Which makes sense, because McNair does not throw the ball well anymore.

Diomedes

McNabb has always thrown a very nice long ball, and still does.  Any talk otherwise is the sound of some kind of axe being ground.
