Quote:Man, I can't wait till the first preseason game. Then we can all argue about how tight Blake's motion is or isn't.


The good news: half will think he's improved, half won't.

 

More than half don't know what they are looking at... Not to sound snobbish, but how many people know what goes into an NFL QB's mechanics.. I'd say I have a moderate understanding of deeper fundamentals, but either way, watching highlight video that is less than three minutes long is not going to give you a complete picture. He's still going to have off throws or step funny quite often. 

 

I'm just guessing here but let's say during last season that 25% of his throws were good mechanically, He's probably between 40-50% at this point and the hope is that he can reach that 65%-75% threshold in the next off season .. If I were Tom House or Nathaniel Hackett, this might be my mindset in teaching a guy who has obviously not had much kinetic skill training .. it could be totally different than that

 

I really wouldn't even expect him to be totally comfortable for a few weeks into the season if you remember where he is coming from.
