North America After the Collapse

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think the best quarterbacks in the NFL can throw the entire length of a football field. Assuming a perfect square, 20 acres would be 312 yards on a side. The very best NFL quarterbacks can, under duress, throw 50-55 yards with a modicum of accuracy. An outfielder in baseball is expected to only reach 1st, 2nd, or 3rd base with a deep throw (40-50 yards) & then the accuracy will be questionable at best (it's usually not even close). What people forget is that a rock is not a football, or a baseball, or a grenade. A baseball can be thrown much further than a whiffle ball, a rock further than a baseball, and, unless the rock is smooth and symmetrical and of the same size and weight, a grenade further than a rock.
