Jim Kelly is on it.

Top pro passers test their skills in the 14th annual event in Santa Monica, Cal. Brad Johnson (Tampa Bay), Mark Brunell (Jacksonville) and defending champ Jeff Garcia (San Francisco) are among the competitors in such skills tests as accuracy, speed and mobility, and distance.

Blake, Brady, Brunell, Bulger, Garcia, Brad Johnson and Hassleback.
Jimbo (in new jersey), Moon and along with two other retired QBs are on it.


Jimbo quotes:
Terry Bradshaw (on the field) and Joe Namath (off the field) was his favorite Qb
I was always told Bert Jones could throw the ball 100 yards
Randall Cunningham was the long ball thrower of 'our' era (80 yards)


Blake threw well on move
Brady not so well
Brunell moved well and threw ok
Bulger terrible so far
Garcia slipped (wrong shoes for this event) - Field Turf
Hassleback (best time so far)
Johnson threw well
Brunell and Hassleback came in #1 & #2 - Hassleback won event in finals

Boomer, Brister, Elway & Moon are senior QBs in accuracy challege
Kelly arm is off or he is not used to Field Turf
Kelly's driver "was driving too fast" and he nailed him
Moon did too and moved very well but his arm accuracy was off
Boomer won with Jimbo getting 2nd although he had advatage being last and being a leftie.

Jimbo was "very depressed" losing to Boomer (the host) having to hear him all day.


Continues tomorrow.

Yeah, he found out that Wys didn't think he was good enough, so he has decided to retire. He mentioned that he could not go on living if such a great football mind like Wys thinks he sucks. I was shocked!!!

No mention of Bledsoe other than that Brady had big shoes to fill.

They had many QBs to choose from.

1998 Jim Harbaugh
1997 Vinny Testaverde
1996 Neil O'Donnell

I dont think that drew is good enough to have his name mentioned in the same breath with such imortals.
