One of the previous posters was correct. Jefferson had all day to throw it on most downs. He also has a long throwing motion, as he seems to bring the ball down and back up again to throw it. This doesn't matter now, because he is not getting pressure, but it may hurt in college if he gets pressure. Molton looks smooth, and seems to catch the ball with good form. He looks confident, but as also mentioned before, he is not Jefferson's favorite target. Alonzo Landry will not get an offer from us IMO. I also wasn't that enamored with Jerico Nelson as a RB. He is good, but he didn't look special. Maybe I am being too hard on the kids, but I just think that an LSU RB recruit should be dominant in high school, like a man against boys.
1st off, he is a QB, not RB recruit 2nd off, his team won something like 42-0 in the PLAYOFFS. How is that not dominant? He is 12-0. How is that not dominant?
yeah. I apologize for that... lol I saw the 1st stuff about Jefferson then just skimmed. that's def, my bad, T-Boy.
Seems like the kind of thing redshirts were made for. Fix some techniques, get in the weight room, learn the system. Correct?
I don't know, putting on weight and learning blocking, pass coverage, rushing techniques, etc. just takes practice and hard work. Changing your throwing motion is different. Some kids can do it without hurting their accuracy, or zip on the ball, and others can't. Sometimes it is a mental thing, where a kid just doesn't believe in the new throwing motion and reverts back to his old ways. For example, if you have never pitched a baseball sidearm before and are forced to throw that way after you reach college it could be a huge problem.
Interesting theory. You would think that if technique can be taught at any other position, QB would be no different, but it does seem that it can be an issue as QBs move on to college ball. Perhaps this is more of a perception issue, where it's just more noticeable if a Qb doesn't develop his technique as opposed to a DE or something. On the other hand, a QB's throwing motion does require a lot of refined muscle movements as opposed to the broader moves of other positions...
