I noticed that too. But I think that’s something that will come. Yesterday was just his 20th game since highschool… he’s relied on sheer athletic ability to this point, now comes the fine tuning. -

Cowherd is an *. He trashed Jordan Love this time last year saying he was nothing more than a backup because he couldn't hit the " layups" . This went on for weeks until Love started playing well then Cowherd jumped on the Love bandwagon. -
It isn't necessarily a weird throwing motion but just kind of looks a bit raw and home made. Rivers had a weird throwing motion. I don't think the throwing motion matters so much if you can get it out of your hands quickly, and you're tall enough to fling it over big humans. I really have been watching this aspect closely this year and will continue to watch, as AR is nowhere close to a refined passer yet. He had a full offseason to do whatever he needed to do to tweak any sloppy mechanics with Tom House (after rehabbing of course), had a full training camp with Steichen- but I don't see too much of a difference in AR mechanically as a passer compared to his limited action last year- in fact sometimes it feels like regression. His throwing base and platform are not solid, he feet are very happy (not Peyton happy, where choppy pocket movement is productive). His footwork and mental timing are the clear and obvious issues here, and that would explain why he looks at his worst for all of the short and intermediate stuff. Those are the cerebral and quick decision plays that usually are split second or pre determined- and its no surprise that his INT's are coming from those same first-read misfire type of decisions. I wouldn't mess around too much if at all with Anthony's throwing mechanics. He has a fast release and naturally changes his arm angles when necessary (perhaps needs to learn the ideal moments to apply each arm angle, but he is a natural at doing it). I would absolutely work on cleaning up his footwork and touch passing and hammer away at it. No rapport with Pittman, as he is our best possession receiver. Sometimes being the most dynamic athlete can be a bad thing for the QB position. They know they can run and never truly settle in the pocket and become that guy who succeeds at QB because because he mastered the mental side and developed the physical aspect over time. Quick processing and a great arm will always be king. Manning is one extreme and AR is another. Luck was a beautiful balance of both, but was missing the mental drive to WANT to be the best and stay the best. Once Anthony has a #1 security blanket (is that Downs or someone not on the roster ala Brock Bowers) I think we see more growth. That TE is currently not on our roster. -

I agree with you on JT. I don't know that running AR like crazy is the best thing for him. Pushing him to only run when necessary (like the long 1st down conversion he had yesterday) and instead allowing him to make the mistakes from the pocket is the way to go. If we want him to be the complete package, he has to make those mistakes, learn from them, and continue finishing games which means avoiding injury. At this pace, we might not win many games, but he's going to learn throughout the season, that I'm confident in. -

Say we do get the number one pick. Is there a quarterback coming out that would be worth taking at that spot? I know a lot of you think Richardson is going to pan out but just say he has a terrible season. I know that’s a stretch, but humor me…..
