I think the closest Dg shot to throwing a football would be a tomahawk. I don't know anyone that can throw an 80 yard tomahawk, not saying it can't be done. I can throw a baseball in the upper 80's, but I rarely break 400ft throwing a disc.
I have seen a few different guys throw a tomahawk 400 ft. + (and this doesn't include the 400 ft. + Epic drives...they don't count). It is very cool to watch it up close. It is a super powerful motion that is hard to comprehend. I am pretty sure I would rip my arm out of socket if I did this on a regular basis. There is one local guy that might not quite reach the 400 ft. plateau, but he throws the shot on almost every drive at Creve Coeur (kinda open bomber course). Either he has a awesome doctor that doesn't mind scripping him an unlimited supply of vicodin, or his arm is not made of human flesh. I would be crying in my sleep...
