Why can't Jake Coker throw it away?

It's like his arm locks into place when he gets pressure.
To me, this is probably the most maddening thing about his game.

Why can't you make decent posts?
Seriously. You're fricking terrible. I cringe when I open your threads on game days in preparation for the absolute stupidity that you felt the need to post.
Ban yourself.

despite what some think, you are not alone in your assessment of cokers inability to throw the ball away. even while his counterpart is quite good at demonstrating the art. plus, when you take into account that he watches the rush rather than feeling it and seldom sees wide open receivers downfield because of this. plus plus, when he's so dang slow from catching the ball to delivery on quick hit plays. its the difference between a touchdown and having the ball slapped away by the defender as evidenced on the goal line yesterday.
this all adds up to, WHY ON GODS GREEN EARTH CANT BAMA GET AND KEEP A LEGIT TOP SHELF QB, SHEESH

I'm really surprised that Mr conservative Saban didn't hammer this into him. AJ would almost throw it away to soon, as Saban would constantly push down and distance/turnover management on him.

If Coker has the OL that AJ did I think we would be undefeated and probably avg. well over 40 points a game. When Coker has time he looks great out there. The pocket once again yesterday collapsed to quick.
Agree AJ was to quick to throw it away when he had a lot more time in the pocket than Coker does.

Coker usually does fine either throwing it away or getting back or past the line of scrimmage. Really a non-issue besides that play yesterday where he was trying to square up to hit a WR who was wide open across his shoulder, and didn't feel the defender coming fr the other way.

I'd like to see him throw the ball away more, but I don't find it be the largest issue with the offense.

I remember this as a gripe for McElroy too, people claimed he was protecting his completion percentage.

He just never gives up on a play. Which can be detrimental, but he always thinks he can make something happen. It's admirable, but not always smart.

I bet before the season is out Coker is going to make an extraordinary play that everyone thought from the snap was going to be one of his worse plays of the season. A true baller who refuses to just throw the ball away on any play.

That last drive actually looked like he took control of the offense. They looked completely different that last drive. Throwing,running,and OL looked like it had a mission.

I will give Coker credit in that it seemed like he was the only player that recognized the position we were in. Everyone else was taking their time to get in position and he was literally pushing players up to the line.

The oNe where he was running to his left, being chased from behind, if he tries to throw it away with a man closing from behind, after having to to rearange his body (running the wrong way) the the guy from behind can swipe the ball from behind and cause a fumble. Sure, you and I know he is not close enough, but Coker had no idea how close he was, good sack imho. Our defense was controling the game, no need in taking a chance there.

Why do you have to rearrange your body when you are less than 10 yards from the sideline? You don't have to throw it 30 yards downfield, just 5 yards to get it past the LOS.

You have to get the throw past the line of scrimmage, he was 8-10 yards behind the LOS, and runningstraight towards the sideline, he would have had to square his body or thrown it left handed.
They way our defense plays, we do not need to take risks, our main thing is Kiff has to reevaluate why we are getting negatie plays and cut out the penalties.

Easier said than done sometimes.
IMO, the play calling was once again terrible at times and with UT playing 2 safeties over the top, I thought for sure Kiffin would call a QB draw to help draw in the 2 deep safeties.
