I don't think so. I was pleasantly surprised to find this on my old VHS. 1990/91 was when I switched from Beta. I should be getting more of the old Beta tapes transferred soon so maybe another surprise will be in order.
Awesome stuff... In later years, the dink and dorkers took over at QB. The likes of Bulger, Harbaugh, Young, etc, just hitting 50 yards... (it aint be better in the 2020s, when Jalen Hurts couldnt heave a ball 50 yards on the SB hail mary try, or Russell Wilson waving his receivers to come back at MILE HIGH vs New England) ... And here you have real QBs throwing 71-77 yards.
What? If you can throw 75, you can pass 75. Because it means the same. Headwind normally reduces distance, so the old, real QBs showed at this QB challenge are even more impressive. Cunningham and Schroeder are a given, but Hostetler is a surprise for me. None (outside of Rodgers, Allen, Mahomes) of the overpaid dink and dorkers of nowadays are able to do that. All over-rated divas taking advantage of the no touch football underneath. The hailed "game winning" SB drive is a prime example. Actually it was sh.itty football to us oldtimers. Heck, even often injured Jim McMahon would throw for 6.000 yards nowadays, Marino for 8.000... @@dusty_five_2
@@dusty_five_2 You are not talking of wind then, but a hurricane blowing into faces. Even with 10 mph headwind, a real, non-dinker QB would lose max 5-7 yds, but never 20. In real games, real QBs would still deliver on post routes, deep curls, tight windows. Unlike the RBs turned "QBs" that come out in dozens from colleges nowadays. And yet, pocket passers still rule, always will (guys like Mahomes, Allen are pure passers first, last chance saloon runners last, taking full advantage of the no-touch-NFL-QB-rules).
He was in the previous year's one, and could've won it by going for an easy short throw, but he went for the deepest target to be more entertaining, and missed.
@@juanpabloperez9063 Those are the numbers I remember. A lot of people think he had a rocket arm, which just wasn't the case. Good enough no doubt, but not the caliber of say Bradshaw or Cunningham.
Huge huge huge thank you for uploading this!!!! Such a treasure!
The greatest ever, don criqui
I want some saints pants like this
Do you know where I can buy those shorts? LOL
Thanks for this. Do you have the previous years one?

Does anyone have footage of Dan Marino and John Elway in the distance throw? Or at least know what they threw for?
Elway did about 73yrds in the previous year's one. Marino (in the same one) did maybe about 70 (or possibly just in the mid-60s).

Unfavorable wind conditions, people that can throw 75 struggles to pass 65.

@@FoxxyBrown1111 "Real QBs" 😄 No defensive player wants to be blackballed from hurting Maholmes.
@@dusty_five_2 True that, I dont dispute. Still he is a good QB, not a good person.
Why was Elway never in these?
He was in the previous year's one, and could've won it by going for an easy short throw, but he went for the deepest target to be more entertaining, and missed.
How far did Marino threw?
I belive it was about 65 yards
54, 58 yds
@@ItalianStallion01 Not even close to that..
