Since Joe Milton either throws a Hail Mary or fastball with a football, Vitello should put a radar gun on him throwing a baseball. I’ve never seen anything like how far he can throw a football. When my son was a pitcher, the coach would often have him throw a football to increase velocity.

He could probably throw a nice fast ball, but I bet he doesn't have a change up.

Duh. Yeah, you're right. It's 9" in circumference. My bad.

Point being it should be easier to throw a lighter ball further and so with more velo, aerodynamic parameters excluded for this debate.

The throwing mechanics differ somewhat and don’t always translate into equal performance.

Be interesting if Frank Anderson had a go of it. In CFA, I trust!!! If it’s mechanics, Anderson would have a good shot at fixing it. Football wise, it’s definitely mechanics.

I’m gonna wait and see what a month of straight up being the number one guy looks like. Maybe the offense gets tailored more towards his skill set? We’ll see.

GBO!!!

Humm - tailored toward his skill set. I don't think they will allow us to position McCoy 20 rows up on the left side of the endzone, Squirrel 30 rows up on the right side of the endzone and allow Hyatt to line up 30 yards offside and start early before
the ball is snapped :) but I get your point.

Rattler came back from nowhere - but he had shown that he could play great numerous times at Oklahoma. Milton was never able to do it in high school (reportedly) certainly didn't accomplish it in 2 years at Michigan and thus far in 2 years here - we
see a lot of the same challenges. Then you have to ask yourself going forward do we want to restrict what we do with Coache's offense to fit the skills or deficiencies of this qb. Or will we want to run the whole offense and package with a young qb with
a different skillset.

That's one of the primary jobs and responsibilities of the coaches - to put the right players in the right spots. Should be very interesting.

Velocity is one thing, control is something else. A good baseball pitcher has both. From what I've seen, Milton has only one.

I saw a Greg Maddux meme once that said:

I'm a millionaire because I can throw a baseball 90mph. I own a beach house in California because I can change speeds.

Yeah. I'm one of 3 high school pitchers in my family. A QB throwing motion more in tune with a catcher than a pitcher. But do I believe Joe Milton could throw a baseball 100 mph? I do. Not talking about strikes, just velo. He'll have to take 2 fingers off the seams......

If milton threw a baseball it would be like randy Johnson killing the pigeon
But in Milton's case it probably be the whole pride of the southland

Joe Milton can stand at home plate and throw a baseball out of every park in USA....including Yellowstone.



Paul Bain approves...see the smile.

I wonder what Volnation thinks a normal% for passes over 40 yards in the air? Is it 10 out of 10 no, maybe more like 4 out of 10. If everyone on here is expecting him to hit close to 70% of 40+ yard passes then he will fail like every QB fails at the long ball% wise vs normal pass%. I haven’t went back and checked on hookers long ball% but I would say it is around 40-50% which IMO is very good. It may be lower he missed quite a bit later in the year. The long ball even on misses makes the D play different, receptions are the goal but there’s nuance effects that can aid the Os running game and underneath passes. Just seems like some ppl get pleasure and are sitting on the edge of their seat hoping to say “overthrow Joe” or “Bazooka Joe”

It's an interesting idea.

My guess would be, he doesn't have nearly the accuracy a pitcher requires.

As for how far he throws the football, I remember when Michael Vick was still in college, they filmed him throwing the ball 70 yards...kneeling.

Joe Milton reminds me of Vick in arm strength. Though not in other ways.

Accuracy with a football is quite different. In football, you’re placing it to a moving target, whereas it is set in baseball. A pitcher, however pitches with his whole body and is slinging a bullet, so little things can be disastrous. Milton throws a football and would probably try to throw a baseball that way and it would be unimpressive.

Maybe you are correct, but it seems that Milton consistently overthrows giving the receiver no chance.
