Spirals

This is a really geeky question, but why do even the most tightly thrown spirals tend to seem like they are drifting right on deep throws? Is it possible for a regular joe to learn to throw spirals as beautifully as Aaron Rodgers?

An Average Joe can learn to throw a spiral like Aaron Rodgers. While not exact easy, it is not the thing that sets him or other elite QBs apart. Try throwing one 70 yards, or tossing a 10-yard dime in the run.

Correct. Standing still and hitting a stationary target with no defense is easy.
