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.
