hey it's plausible, a georgia player had a season ending injury due to jumping and down celebrating last year.

An obsevation that I made watching the video is the Dobbs and Worley throw the ball with a stiff front leg. Worley's is occasionally bent. Peterman's front leg is always bent.

I say this because my son plays catcher. His coach pointed out to him that when he throws the ball high over the head of the 2nd baseman or short stop his front knee is locked (stiff front leg). This causes the ball trajectory to be high. If he steps further and bends his front knee the ball is on target, low, close to the base the way it is supposed to be.

Petermans throws look to be right on target, right at the numbers. Dobbs and Worley's passes are somethime high. I don't know if the mechanics are the same when throwing a football, however the engineer in me says yes.

Baseball guy here so I must interject. Not sure what level your son plays at but in baseball there are two types of throwing motions.

Long) pitcher\OF - Full hand separation for max velocity.

Short) catcher/infielders - less hand separation for quicker release.

In both cases the motion requires extending the upper body over you front leg to make a low accurate throw. With a short throwing motion you generally want your hips lower and thus knees bent which makes it easier to get full extension with your upper body. Takes more time to stand up and then throw as well.

Now for catchers some, even in the MLB, have a longer throwing motion and thus higher velocities so it is a give and take thing at that position. Accuracy is really the most important thing there.

So all that said, I'm not sure how that translates to QB.

Not sure where the QB battle is going, but if Jones is going to start someone other than Worley, I am guessing he will be much better. They aren't going to start someone slightly close to better.

I am actually pretty excited about our D this year. Moseley and Barnett are the most pleasant surprises to me. Especially Moseley. Our D front to back should be much better this year.

Once again gulping down some orange Kool aid.

Man, am I ever glad that we didn't have to think of all of this back 40-50 years ago when I played baseball. I mostly played 3rd or pitched, but have played every position other than behind the plate. I was always able to throw it where I wanted, whether I was standing up, running sideways, spinning around, or on my knees.

I keep hearing about Malone being lack luster and sluggish. Does he even want to be here? I constantly see him drop balls and it almost looks on purpose. What's his deal?

LOL, For most these things come naturally. Other kids just have that big stick and never had to worry about mastering some of the finer points. You would be surprised at the 15yr olds I have seen.
