Anybody here ever actually run the 40?

[Direckshun]

Curious to see if we have any other athletes out here.

I don't have a stopwatch. Maybe I should see if one of my friends does and get some jackass to time me.

What's your 40 time?

Impossible.

I've been told on Chiefsplanet that humans aren't capable of running sub-4.5 40 yard dashes.

That's mind-bottling, Dude.

I'm failing to understand why it's so hard to believe people can run 4.5's or better.

No one has said that either. Just saying that its not as common as some try to act like it is.....

Because white people can't jump, run fast or lift weights.

They're better suited for drinking games, video games and online sex video chatting.

Duh.

And you've consistently failed to prove it.

Read beach tribe's posted article. I know it was about football players but it shows the discrepancy in times.

First off, I NEVER once claimed that I, or any of my teammates from high school were EVER timed at sub-4.5 speed.

Secondly, for the LAST goddamned time, our 40 times were consistently timed. Apparently, you didn't play football and if you did, you certainly didn't play in a good program and here's why: We had weighlifting and training over the summer every morning and every afternoon. We lifted, we ran and we were supervised. It wasn't like me or any of the other guys that ran 40's had results all over the map. It was consistent.

Now, you can "claim" that if any of us had been laser-timed, maybe we would have had a lower time. But it's also possible that since a human timed us instead of a machine, maybe we'd have timed faster.

I ran against my best friend all summer long during our senior season. We were neck-in-neck all summer at 4.7 when I finally beat him with a 4.6. ONE TIME. He went on to have a successful football career at Coffeyville and then to a NCAA 1A school, where he was a starter.

So, you can make whatever "claim" you'd like but you'd be incorrect. And when guys that I played with went on to play AND start at Wyoming, Air Force Academy, Arkansas, KU, K-State and dozens of other programs, I'd say that our 40 times were pretty much dead on.

Otherwise, everyone would have bombed after high school, which was clearly not the case.

Duh.

I ****ing own at speed quarters. Huh.

[SAUTO]

Why would they have bombed if they were actually slower? Again you gave said speed is not indicative of football skills.

and I also never said that you claimed to run faster than 4.5 or even at 4.5.

And you aren't the only guy to play ball or go to school with guys who went on to ncaa football success

I'm good at quarters after I've had a few beers.

I suck without alcohol in me. Must be a white thing.

What's hard to believe? Of course a football BB is going to have a ton of former jocks on here. The sum of the people who are saying that they could light it up on the track here on ChiefsPlanet isn't an accurate polling number if you're trying to average it out amongst every American that played some sort of high school sport.

Are you kidding?

Let's say a receiver is timed at running a 4.5 but in reality runs a 4.9. Are you claiming that he'd have the same success on the field as a receiver with true 4.9 speed as opposed to 4.5?

Of course it's not. But the two aren't mutually exclusive. A guy that has great football skills while being fast athletically is going to have a better success rate than a guy with great football skills that runs 5/10ths of a second slower.

Get it?

So? Does that mean that their 40 times were accurate or inaccurate? What's the point?

[-King-]

Usain Bolt ran a 4.48(reaction time taken off) 40 in 2008. Nice to see that people of CP would only lose by a couple of milliseconds to him in a 40 yard race...

[SAUTO]

Dude have you read this thread? We have a guy who says he ran a4.29. So you actually believe that is accurate?
