And here I thought that *** had just been reading your stuff about AM to form his opinion. Obviously, he forgot to read your full opinion of TG before writing his primer.
The bolded was not possible. I did not offer my analysis of TG until today. It was not available to *** prior to this thread.
My opinion of Gebbia as a passer differs from ***. His opinion may be right, but I trust my opinion more than his.
It looks like TG might be arming the ball just a bit (not using the progression of his legs, hips and shoulder to attain power to the fullest possible extent), but that is not a bad thing. Oftentimes QBs are unable to set their feet and use the whipping action of the body to help launch the pass. Sometimes they have to rely solely on the strength of their arm to get the ball to the receiver.
As *** pointed out, MV insists that his QBs practice throwing off their back foot or facing the receiver (or when running for the dear lives) where the arm is the primary source of power. I think that is a great idea. HuskerThom once highlighted the QB situation when he said that tennis servers do not have to execute with a 300-pound defensive lineman in their face.
Yes, tennis servers can execute their throwing-type motion using their legs, hips, and shoulder every time. QBs, not so much.
