Fall Practice Thread

There’s been a couple of posts I’ve seen of Hauss’ throwing motion. It reminds me of Bowman’s- a low release with a fairly flat trajectory on the ball. In my opinion, this was what led to a lot of Bowman’s overthrows on the mid-length throws. Hopefully Hauss doesn’t have that same issue.

Zane has a really fluid throwing motion and Bowen has great mechanics as well, for as young as he is. There’s obviously much more to playing QB successfully than just mechanics, but it is something worth noting.
Bowman, & Sanders continued throwing off their back foot really made me question the coaching they were getting. You’re either coaching it, or allowing it to happen.
 
Hausa’ has much more zip on the ball and it comes out way faster compared to Bowman. Not saying that means he’s the best or that his throwing motion won’t ever be an issue, but just wanted to point that out.
He does, at least in practice. The o-line wasn’t great for stretches last year, which led to Bowman struggling to throw with planted feet. It really wasn’t a speed of the ball getting to the receiver though. When you don’t have as high of a trajectory on your passes and you’re trying to layer a pass over backers across the middle or a DB outside the numbers, you have to rely on velocity. The problem is that if you’re not absolutely perfect with the pass, it’s really easy to overthrow the receiver.

I will also add to that and say bowman was a statue in the pocket and couldn’t avoid any pressure applied. Hauss can move and can create plays in space. He is nothing like bowman.

That said, I think if bowman had more ability to move around in the pocket or take off that he probably would have had more passes completed. Not having the run threat forces you to be one dimensional.

I still think Hauss is a better qb from the limited action. He seems more confident and commands the field better.

Pray to god you’re right. Last year with Bowman was truly seeing a guy who’d hit his ceiling, and coaching that had him throwing an out to the far hash.
Like trying to fit a square peg into a spaghetti colander.

I hate to say it but I think bowman was plagued by his original injury. His arm strength and accuracy suffered. He also seemed cautious and unwilling to step up in the pocket and take a hit
