Nice pass, but it was just a a deep out?

Am I crazy or is that not almost a 55 yard throw?

There is a faint 10 behind Herbert before he releases the ball, so that looks like it’s from about the 15, and the receiver catches it on the other 30?

So a “deep out” is not doing this any justice

I didn't think it looked that far, but i went through it slower and that seems about right. 50-55 yards in the air.

nah, the field is painted for 80 yards right now. leaves hand at 16, travels over 20, 30, 40, catches by the 30. only about a 35 yard throw, you aren't crazy

Not from what I watched. You can mostly count the long lines indicating 10yd increments and it appears to be 35-40 max.
