Its not a player to player comparison. Which is harder in your opinion? Throwing a football or throwing a baseball.

How are you gonna say it's not a player to player comparison and then go on to ask his personal comparative viewpoint, in this hypothetical situation he's a player.

Anyway, I had a live arm on the mound and I could always throw a football with velocity. Throwing a baseball is WAY easier for me. The lack of size and density makes it way easier to throw with more velocity.

No, he was making it seem as if I was asking for example; Who has a stronger Joba Chamberlain or Eli Manning? The point of the question is which is morediffcult to do.

And with different people you're gonna get different answers....

Depends...

Because part of me has got to believe that Junior in his prime was not throwing change-ups from Centerfield to home plate either...

It's definitely player to player.

For what it's worth.

Clayton Kershaw and Matthew Stafford were in the same class at the same high school. Their freshman years, Stafford was a starter along with Kershaw, andKershaw's catcher. Kershaw was ...
the center

. When asked about it Kershaw says that Stafford could definitely been drafted, and that he (Kershaw) was a terrible football player.

Not that Kershaw probably couldn't throw a football pretty far, but it's my guess that there are more QBs that could pitch in the majors than SPs whocould start in the NFL.

Thats off topic though. The question is strictly about arm strength.

I'm pretty sure the question asked was who has stronger arms QB's or Pitchers, not which was more difficult, and in that case to me it'ssituational depending on the player.

Let me say this then...I was both a pitcher AND a quarterback. Without getting too technical I cannot answer this question. For one, the mechanics arecompletely different. I digress...I can throw both a baseball and football with really good velocity. I can throw a baseball much further and faster, becauseit's smaller, but I don't think that means it's easier to do.

If the question is which is more difficult, you can't answer that question...Way too different things. If the question his who throws harder...I say, itdepends on who you're talking about, but there is no way you can accurately compare the two.
