It isn't. If you want to see a long throwing motion, watch Tebow.


While is throwing motion is now near as long as Tebow's, HE DOES drop the ball below his shoulder which elongates his throwing motion. I'm not downing him. He will be a decent pro and if he works on a few points of his game can be a successful qb in the NFL.
Great decision maker, elite accuracy, above avg arm strength. Just needs to work on his deep ball( good in college, not the NFL) and maybe stop dripping the ball below his shoulder during throws.

The thing is he doesn't do that on most throws. Just on short throws and sometimes on deep balls. With Nuss as his QB coach, any problems with his game will be addressed.

If AJ continues to improve at this pace sky is the limit for the kid. He was the best QB in the toughest leaugue in college football. I expect similar improvement this year.

agreed. I think that is one thing he definitely needs to work on is getting the ball out quicker and to the right spots. He does best on deep or intermediate routes where the defense is spread out and he can throw his reciever open or put the ball where the defense cant get it. He struggles to make the right read sometimes in the redzone. Also, his longer throwing motion doesnt help him at all in the redzone.

He's good at going through his reads. He doesnt lock onto one reciever like a lot of qbs. But in my opinion he doesnt always know where the hole in the defense will be pre-snap. The best QBs have a really good idea what the defense is gonna do before the ball is snapped. With AJ, i think he needs a few seconds to see the play develop before making a decision. If he landed on a team with a really good QB coach he could certainly improve in that area, but if he lands on a team like the Jets, he will struggle.

i also agree that the OL makes him look a lot better. any QB would look better with that much time and protection.
