Re: The Arc on Joe's ball.
I'm sure if Manning threw that (which he would have to throw it 3 times) or Ben would of thrown it , it would be known as the greatest pass ever thrown.

Re: The Arc on Joe's ball.
Apparently Joe is at the same California Pizza Kitchen where my friend is. I tried to get him to tell Flacco we calculated the arc length of his throw, but he said no =(

Re: The Arc on Joe's ball.
It went far enough, that's all that matters! Unbelievable arm.

Re: The Arc on Joe's ball.
This is my first post on this forum; my dad directed me to this thread and I’ve taken an interest. First off, great game, great throw.
I decided to code a computer simulation of Flacco’s throw that takes into account drag and gravity as the primary forces acting on the ball. Once the acceleration was determined, I used the kinematic equations to find the velocity and position of the ball at the next time step. I’ll refrain from going in depth about the calculations and assumptions I used and just give you results…
Results:
Hang Time: 3.21 seconds (people were saying 3.2 seconds)
Distance: 58.9 Yards
Maximum Height: 13.8 Yards

Re: The Arc on Joe's ball.
I have to just say I think this stands as one of the most impressive threads I've seen on here in a good while. Kudos to all of you participating in it.

Re: The Arc on Joe's ball.
He means 59 years along the ground (or longitudinal distance in his plot).
PWD, any way you can figure the total distance traveled along the arc of the ball?
