They are paid to throw balls to recievers who are pn the run. they can throw deep, throw short, and throw it into tight spaces... they can anticipate where the target is going to be, not where it is, and that is why they would make a better HP than a bball player...

summary: McNabb, Brady, Manning (either) > Paul, Bryant, Lebron at being a human player

sorry for the rant, i was on a roll...
Sorry man gotta disagree here. Even though basketball players shoot at a stationary goal, they put arcs on their shots. On our team we have the varsity football player and a varsity basketball player. The football dude tends to through the ball different and it doesn't work so well. While a trained basketball player can throw the ball with one hand or two hands. Also our basketball player makes a ration of 3:1 compared to the football dude. Also its not very hard adjusting to a slow moving goal.
