Absolutely, which is why he needs to play. Anyone can go out and run a passing drill with perfect mechanics. What really matters is what you do when the action is live. I hope they're coaching him consistently on this, because every one of his overthrows is due to him rushing and whipping a sloppy pass from a funky arm angle. And several of them happen when he has plenty of time to get his feet set and make a routine throw. What I said a few weeks ago, and I believe even more now, is that he's still adjusting to the speed of the game. When he sees a receiver pop open, sometimes he's late, or surprised, and reacts quickly to hit the receiver. When he starts seeing this more effectively, he'll anticipate these throws, and be more settled, and his mechanics will be more consistent. Then the overthrows will calm down. But in the meantime, he needs to be coached to just slow it down, he has to respect the process of making a good throw. -

Maybe the team needs to start looking at AR's completion percentages in buckets. For instance: 1) High-percentage -- this rate needs to be more than 90%. Has plenty of time, receiver is open, route is properly run, the throw is either behind the LoS or no more than say 10 yards downfield. 2) Mid-percentage -- some of the above characteristics aren't met. May be flushed out of the pocket. Pass is defended, tighter window, longer distance (10-20 yards). Completion rate should be 55-65%? I don't know...spitballing. 3) Low-percentage -- Deep routes, tight windows and/or coverage. thrown under pressure, thrown off balance, etc. And these are going to have completion percentages more like 25-30%. AR doesn't have to be Mahomes or Stroud. All QBs are different. And he has a different set of skills than they do. What he needs to be is sufficiently competent at the things that all NFL QBs have to be competent at. If he can just take care of that (and that's still an outstanding question, obviously), then the rest will take care of itself. -
I had no idea of all the things he had to do outside the confines of what the Bills provided. Thanks for this perspective!!! It will be interesting to see how the Colts approach AR during the season and the off season. David Sutcliffe was a key part of Peyton Manning getting his throwing motion back after his 2011 season before he went to the Broncos. Tom House, a great throwing coach, worked with the likes of Tom Brady, Drew Brees etc. Recently, Jordan Palmer with Josh Allen. The Colts should choose the right one that works to get AR to the next level. -
And he did it during the offseason, which AR lost because of injury. You can't work on this at this frequency and effectiveness during the season. Perspective IIRC AR already said he's been in contact with Allen about this, but he needs an offseason to actually work at it. -
Doesnt mean Bradley is suddenly good still gonna get smoked by Pittsburgh.
