Dekkers side arm throw

[ForbinsAscynt]

Concerning or nothing to worry about?
If he didn’t throw 2 picks I wouldn’t even bring it up but I do think this is a topic of discussion among fans.

Why would it be worrying?

It was timing and a mental error on his part with the route tree. You have to live with some of the interceptions he's going to throw because he can make all the throws. He thinks he can make them and that's what it takes to be elite, just gotta clean it up.

Easier to block. That said, I love his quick release. AND, I've noticed his side arm throws are quicker because he doesn't have to rotate his feet as much. And he doesn't seem to hesitate if he sees an open receiver. He pulls the trigger more quickly.

Got the W . All that matters .

Agree. I think he's going to be good but a 'gunslinger' type qb. We will see alot of completions but he may have the most interceptions too.

That's what I mean. It's situational and he's 6'3 so I'm not too worried about it.

That release and general placement of the ball is something we just simply haven't seen.

Nothing about stats or anything else matter in the cy-hawk game. It's always ugly for some reason.

Watch Mahomes lately? It’s def situational for him.

 

[DeereClone]

Odd thing to nitpick

Manhomes uses it as a weapon but still has a traditional throwing motion. I don’t normally make nit picky threads but as someone mentioned it is something I’ll have to get used to seeing. I didn’t notice as much watching in person

He's fine. I don't remember any of his passes being knocked down by Iowa's DL, right?

His mistakes yesterday had nothing to do with his throwing motion.

So does Dekkers?

The side arm only came out on some of those quick slant types in them middle.

 

[CoachHines3]

Did we have water or Gatorade to drink?

Concerned.

Thoughts?

 

[Cyclonepride]

First INT was just a bad decision. Second one was a receiver breaking in rather than breaking out. No worries here.

Fans are talking folks! Fans are talking!

Gunslinger

Post game, Dekkers said second pick was on him too.

 

[cyclones500]

I'm more concerned if that left-handed spiral is harder to catch!

 

[WhoISthis]

Concerned? Opposite. Great to see. On at least a couple completions the last two games, I’m not sure it gets there any other way. Have we had a passer so good with multiple release points?

But we knew he had a talented arm. I’ve been pleasantly surprised with his feel/feet in the pocket for such little experience. He makes the OL better this way
