The Plan at the moment:
Draft: Trade a 3rd and 6th this year to a team to move up and get a 2nd next year (this will happen).
Players I want:
Jake Ferguson (Jake Butt) or Jelani Woods or Jeremy Ruckert or Cade Otten (owen daniels) at TE- All 4th rd or later.
Troy Anderson LB 3rd/4th rd (yay Timmy!)
Neil Farrell, JR DL- run stuffer- bye purcell
I think it depends on the individual like another poster suggested.
Elway used to throw some deep balls 60 yards or more, and sometimes that was from one side of the field to the other so I don't think 80 to 90 yards is out of the question.
As to the size of footballs, I thought I remember reading that the high school balls were in fact smaller up until about 5 years ago. I'll see if I can find a link.
I wouldn't doubt it. It was during game action Elway did it.
You may be right about the difference betwenn 80 and 90, too. It may be
like the day Roger Bannister ran the 4 minute mile, if they would have said
he could have run it in 3:50, which was then a long ways away from the
3:59 he ran. Sometimes, a few seconds or yards seems so close, but
then get out there and try to do it,
Take Favre's 77 yard toss, for instance (which he did in anger, so there's
the possible adrenaline factor). That's only three yards away from 80.
So could he do it? Well, obviously, he couldn't do 78, and that's one yard,
if you get my drift.

Not sure about throwing a ball, but as far as Disc Golf goes....
You can roll a disc further than you can throw it. Though there are not many good opportunities to roll them on most of the courses.
Just an FYI....

Here's the video. He's standing on about the 10-12 yard line, he spins and rolls to his left and launches the ball from the 7 between the hash marks. The guy catches the ball at the six yard line on the right side of the harshmark, but the ball would have easily travelled to the 5 or 4 yard line if not caught.
Check it out at the 12:56 mark. It's easily 88 yards in the air.
So I finally found the video, and no one takes the time to look? Jeesh!
I saw it babycakes. Hell of a throw.
I tried to count the yard markers. It looked to be about 70 yards.
Now I remember. Elway actually passed from the 8. I thought the ball had
come down at the opposing 8, but TXBronc is the one who corrected me,
made me look a little closer.
You need to count the yard lines to get at the actual yardage. There are
actually 12 yardlines between the throw and the catch. And then he threw
2 yards before the first yardline, and the catch was made 2 yards beyond
the last one. That figures to 64 yards.
Then he passed it from roughly 2 yards from the center of the field to half-
way between the center and the right sidelines, which would be about
13 yards, so it went about 15 yards across the field. Using the formula for
the hypotenuse, which is the straight line between point A (the pass) and
point B (the catch), it comes to 65.73 yards actually in the air. Still a heck
of a throw for a high school kid, but probably not all he was capable of.
