How many passes could you complete?

[HansLanda]

I would complete all of them. Exclusively a jet sweep offense. Revolution!

[Sweats]

I wouldn't be able to complete any passes. I'd look like i was trying to heave a 12-pound salami downfield...........i've got problems.

Based on the results so far, there are at least 26 highly delusional people on this forum.

 

I don't think anybody is suggesting they are going to spread the ball around and piece together scoring drives.

More like, under perfect conditions with good protection, I can go 11-50 for 67 yards with 0 TD's, 7 INT's and 2 first downs.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, you're making one heck of an assumption, beleiving I and/or many of us others would even survive all 4 quarters with 250+ pound defensive linemen or 230lbs safety barrelling down on us. Even in my prime age to which i was actually in pretty darn good shape, i seriously doubt I'd last much past the first quarter, if that. 

 One of the options should have been 0-1. If i were in my prime, I think I could complete at least 1 pass to a running back in the flats off a fake handoff. If I had to be the age and shape I am in now (which is round btw), it's a fat zero for me. LOL!!

Even THAT, I think, is delusional.

Again, I refer back to Kendall Hinton playing emergency quarterback in 2020 and completing ONE pass in an NFL game. That was an actual NFL player!

If someone athletic enough to actually play in the NFL was only able to complete ONE pass in a game, how could I ever reasonably believe that an average American message board user could complete ELEVEN of them?

No way, no how.

I did play qb through childhood and through high school.  I have completed a decent about of passes in games before.  With that said 1 to 5 would still be a max for me.

Remember when the Broncos had to play a random guy at QB during the Covid season because all of their QBs got Covid? If I remember correctly that guy only completed 1 pass-that leads me to believe pretty much no one (and I’m heavily leaning no one) on this board could complete a pass 

He was a college QB too. Most of us never played beyond HS. I said 1-5 passes because i think i could complete a swing pass, but anything beyond that, no chance. I am 5'9'' and 180 pounds. I may be as big as Bryce Young, but I'm no where strong or fast enough to belong anywhere near an NFL field.

 

When you think about the fact there are probably, at any given time 100 people on the planet, talented enough to be on NFL roster playing QB. The average poster on a message board is woefully inadequate

 

 

[HappyDays]

It isn't just about completing a pass. You have to execute a snap, try to read the defense, throw the ball with the right timing and accuracy and touch/power. Nobody on here could complete a pass unless maybe you got lucky and the WR you were looking at first got open on a blown coverage immediately, and you manage to throw the ball fast enough to avoid one of the defensive linemen tipping it. And hopefully you get this lucky on one of your first 2-3 throws because eventually you're getting crushed by a defensive player and being taken off the field in a body cast, possibly with your leg hanging in the wrong direction.

I may get one or two incomplete passes off before I am IR'd for the rest of the season. I will need some contract guarantees.

Are interceptions considered a pass? if they are, then about fifteen passes before they pull me. At least I could get traded to the Broncos like Zac Wilson was with that many passes.

 

[ticketssince61]

Anyone who thinks they can complete a single pass (that is not a shovel pass) is totally delusional

 

You have no ideal of how 

a) how much chaos is going on with each play

b) how fast and athletic the defenders are

c) how you would probably not even be able to see past the line of scrimmage

 

In HS, me and 2 friends played 3 on 1 against a 6"5 scrub who was on the NBA Buffalo Braves. We could not get a shot off as somehow he was able to cover all 3 of us at once (and yes we were spread out - one on each base line and one at the foul line)

[jaybills]

I would complete all of them. 

[Ray Stonada]

Now, if I could run 20 plays on the goal line, I think I could throw a few TDs!

 

Fake the handoff (can it be to Derrick Henry?) and lob a play-action pass to a tight end or tackle eligible...

 

Hit a fade to the corner off a 3 step drop... could I have Randy Moss?

 

If Andy Reid schemed me up a wide open swing pass to Thurman Thomas...

 

It's fun to dream :)

[4th&long]

0. I’m sure they would get picked, there is a difference between an average arm and an nfl arm. I think the farthest I could ever throw a ball is 55 yards but I’m sure I don’t have the fast ball needed so a db can’t make a brake on it and pick it.

We've all thought about it, so how many passes do you think you could complete in an NFL game?  For the sake of argument, let's say the pass must travel pass the line of scrimmage, so none of this jet sweep just give a touch pass to your wide receiver type stuff.  

 

Oh *****, I read this after I voted...I thought I could throw a tiny toss to a running back right next to me or something! Wonder if I can change my vote! Lol, every cb taking away the short stuff and even though I can throw a football decently far, I'll get destroyed by a blitz or just the rush and not get up... it would be awful
