And for 20 years, we complained about HOW he walked on water. Tough crowd.

How many of the drops were poorly thrown balls that the receiver had to reach back, up, down for?
In short ... yes.
I feel first TB should have had Ganz or someone trained on what skills should be taught to all the QBs. Footwork drills, throwing drills, dropback drills ... then Ganz or another GA or someone could work on those repetition drills with all the QBs.
Second I don't care if they implemented only 1/3rd of the playbook ... much like coach Herman Boone (from Remember the Titans) IMO they would be better off training their players on how to execute a handful plays then brandishing a whole new offense on players unable to execute.
I'm a basketball coach. Fundamentally i believe the off-season is where players improve themselves. Shooting, strength, ball handling. As a coach we can give them drills, programs and goals but ultimately it is incumbent on the player to improve himself.I see what you are saying, but the practices I got to go to including the very first one this spring, during QB drills that is all they did was work on mechanics and drop backs. Throwing from a knee, stepping over bags and around them on drop backs, etc...so I doubt this was a new revelation that they just started in the spring. I also saw it was Ganz throwing with Taylor to get a better watch of him. So I don't think we just didn't work on mechanics at all.
Secondly, there are two schools of thought. You could "dumb down" the playbook and have less plays but run them extremely well, and have more time to work on mechanics. Or, you could be extremely multiple so you had the defense guessing the whole time and they weren't able to know what you were going to be doing the whole time with your limited amount of plays. I assume Beck just wanted to get the offense in and figured there would be some growing pains with mechanics and worry about that in the offseason. Rather than work on mechanics for one player and have the growth of the others in the offense be stalled...
Just my opinion, not saying yours is right or wrong compared to it. I think he did it the right way...
So are the completion rates of someone who comletes 70% of their throws.

Hmph.... I thought it was painfully obvious NU didn't have a QB coach.
Do we need to needle this thing to death. The kid realized he had a problem, The coaches realized, we seen it. Taylor has a powerful arm. Now if he begins throwing off his back foot I say watch out for the kid. Lets give him a chance. He does not shotputt like Scott Frost did & Frostie turned into a pretty accurate guy.
I loved Scott Frost's grit and toughness. However, his throwing mechanics weren't much better than Taylor's. Whether he was throwing the shot in a track meet or throwing a football in a game, he looked the same. No, I think we can find a better QB coach than Scott Frost.
