      No two people do the same exact things. Some athletes have a unique style.

Jesse Owens and Michael Johnson, had very different running styles than track coaches teach. But, yet, they were great champions in the Olympics.

    Every QB, not some all. If your mechanics are off anything can happen when that ball is released good and bad. But all QBs want to take the guesswork out and actually place the ball where they intended.

  • @mihnic0504
    @mihnic0504 7 місяців тому +1

    I have been noticing the exaggerated elbow motion which brought me to this video. At times he looks like a shortstop throwing from deep in the hole. Coincidentally from what I understand he was a shortstop in high school. I’m watching Lamar Jackson as I write this and notice a similar motion but less exaggeration. Jackson also scrambles and as soon as he has space he’s back in a loaded motion. Sights up finger on the trigger. As he scrambles he’s always looking to get in a lock and loaded position. Justin at times gets sloppy with this. Football is a game of timing, space and anticipation. I feel like the exaggerated motion might be throwing off his perceived ability to read. That split second can often be the difference in making a read and throw vs making a read and the window closes. If he can make up the split second by fixing his mechanics I imagine the subconscious mind will make the timing/read adjustment.

      @niveKOnBass 3 місяці тому

      @@eddiejames9827 I know this is an old comment, but I never heard Simms say that about Fields for the gym part. But, after watching him play and continue to be trash every week, and seeing him on vacations all the time in his off season, i can TOTALLY see what Chris simms meant, and I entirely believe it. The fact that he caught that early on, makes him a lot more credible to me. Just because Simms didn't win 6 superbowl rings, doesn't make his opinion any less relevant. Chris Simms throwing motion was way better, and he was a better passer than Fields too. You're going to see the same thing happen to Justin Fields in Pittsburgh. He'll be there for just a few years until they draft or trade for a new QB. For Justin to work on a team as a passer, the WR's need to be a step or two ahead of the corners, wide as fuck open. That's the only way in the NFL. He was fine in college because the competition was below average. In that Ohio State game, one of the opponents best corners landed in the 6th round.
      You know what Justin Fields is? He's like Tim Tebow. Even the javelin throwing motion is kinda close. Fields was always going to be a bust, primarily because of his below average ball placement. If you scroll through the shit Chris Sims said about Fields, he was very accurate.

He’s legitimately the definition of a bust at the position, but he can run… and that bought him an extra year as a starter.

    As an Eagles fan, if Justin Fields fails to get the Bears to the playoffs in 2023 next season, then the team will part ways with him and will draft an QB in the 2024 NFL Draft like Grayson McCall from Coastal Carolina University since he has an great cannon of throwing the football, won alot of awards in college and got the team to the playoffs. Justin Fields isn't the QB the Bears were hoping for since the 2021 NFL Draft. Justin Fields hasn't played his best against other NFL teams so the Bears will let him go anyway and the team will draft Grayson McCall in the 2024 NFL Draft as their new starting QB in the 2024 season. Grayson McCall will be an perfect fit for the Bears. Justin Fields needs to go.

      Justin Fields doesn't need to go. That's a stupid statement.

      This is the stupidest thing I seen today including twitter. If the bears make the playoffs that’s cool and that would exceed expectations but as a bears fan 7 to 10 wins is the goal this season and be in the hunt by December and if they do that we’re on track then in 2024 is the year to push for a deep playoff run. It’ll be nice to make it to the playoffs especially in the weak nfc and I can see the bears pulling it off but if the bears don’t make it to the playoffs but is competitive and have a sub 500 record then Justin isn’t going anywhere

      If you were the GM, you would've part ways with Jalen Hurts a long time ago with that kind of logic. Glad you aren't, right?
