I am not a QB mechanics expert, but I wonder if it is in part affected by the weight he has put on. His body went from "skinny" to "Stafford" really fast.


Yes it did!

I'm sure the added weight might be a part of it. Or it could be just the game moving so fast for him he is rushing his throws and not getting set properly.

The coaches should be able to see it and correct it, though. With all the camera angles and slow-mo etc they have at their disposal it shouldn't be too difficult. Wouldn't surprise me if they don't already know and are working on it with him. The more the game slows down for him the easier and better he should get.

Some of the guys here said they felt he was farther along than Stafford was as a freshman, and i can see where they are coming from. I wouldn't argue against that.

After seeing Eason's bomb to Reggie that drew the PI I'm not so worried. The duck passes are probably due to nervousness causing a mechanical fault. I remember how awful Mason's passes looked early in 2014 after he became a starter and how much better he looked later.
