BornAgainBillsFan Posted July 20, 2020 Posted July 20, 2020 It's all a ploy by those chicken $#!t Chiefs to tear Josh's rotator cuff, thereby ending their biggest threat in the AFC for several years. Next Pat'll be challenging Lamar to a 40 yard dash, in hopes of Jackson blowing a hamstring or two. 3

This was before Drew landed in B'lo. I think I remember they both threw 75 yards and tied. Vaguely remember someone else might have been there in the mix but didn't beat those two so I guess it wasn't important enough for me to remember who that was (or not remember if I'm incorrect). There may have been more of those but that's the only one I've actually watched myself. I've tuned out for the season by Pro Bowl time so just happening across the one with Bledsoe and Favre was a bit of luck. That was fun to watch. Of course I'd absolutely love to see Mahomes and Allen fire some cannonballs. I know exactly what you are talking about. It was an NFL Pro Bowl Skills competition event. Favre and Bledsoe were the Mahomes and Allen of that era as far as firepower. That event also used moving targets though so accuracy came into play as well. It would be cool to see Josh and Mahomes compete in something like that. 1

I doubt Mahomes is worried about Lamar. 1
T master Posted July 20, 2020 Posted July 20, 2020 If they do decide to do this i'm pretty sure the coaches along with the GM will have something to say about it especially if Mahomes was to throw out his elbow after just signing a $500 mill contract ... Josh hasn't signed a deal like that yet but the coaches would want to make sure he doesn't do something to jeopardize his future .

I really think it is partly where the muscle attached to the bone creating greater torque in some people's arms. I'm always amazed at some people can seemingly effortlessly toss the ball 60 yards and other mere mortals can not do that on their best day. Myself included in that latter category.
DabillsDaBillsDaBills Posted July 20, 2020 Posted July 20, 2020 How many times has a professional QB injured themselves by trying to throw it as far as they can (contest or otherwise)? There's an awful lot of talk in here about injuries when it seems like a very low chance of happening.
loyal2dagame Posted July 20, 2020 Posted July 20, 2020 Sounds like Mahomes is making it known that he has some self esteem/ ego issues. 1

Made me laugh out loud. It's true. With our luck, Josh would really unload into his strongest throw, and completely destroy his throwing elbow or some such. 1
BornAgainBillsFan Posted July 20, 2020 Posted July 20, 2020 The only thing Josh has to prove to Mahomes will happen on January 24, 2021, during the AFC Championship game. If Josh goes through with this throwing contest/complete waste of time, it will only prove to me that he still doesn't have the mature, franchise QB mentality.

That's definitely a huge part. Where your muscle connects to your bone is different on every person It's genetics and has a lot to do with the shape and strength of your muscles and how they work
Warcodered Posted July 20, 2020 Posted July 20, 2020 Yeah I mean when has Josh Allen ever been clutch? On an unrelated note I'm thinking of watching all 4 quarters of games and not just the first 3 like I've been doing. 1

machine gun kelly Posted July 21, 2020 Posted July 21, 2020 Reminds me of the old days when many of us were kids with the Superstars. Remember when Gasteneu and LT had the shoulder press contest, the obstacle course with Lynn Swan and others. I know they make too much $, but that was fun in the off season when I was a little tike. Personally, I’d rather have this vs. a Pro Bowl. The QB’s could do a throw off for distance and then accuracy, athletic competition for several other players, and so on. Make it two weeks after the SB so even the players on the teams who are in it can have fun too. Make it a big charity thing, and the MFL machine can pump it up on prime time. How fun would that be. Putting Lamar up in a dash against some of the D Backs and WRS. Some type of weightlifting for the big dudes, and so on.
