Tebow's new motion

[Ancient Reptile]

His new delivery was dismissed on PTI as "nothing" and even "gratuitous". I admit I think his biggest problem is reading defenses and was more encouraged by Kelly saying he was making progress. But surely the motion looks better and will help.

I admit I think his biggest problem is reading defenses

And pulling the trigger.

Sometimes having an ultraconservative coach who is too concerned about INTs will do that to a guy.

Looks pretty good for a TV personality.

Heard this all before and these were the results

His motion is supposedly corrected after 2 years of retraining his mechanics. Only game experience will show if it a natural move or if he reverts to his instictive ways. Not wanting to see anybody get hurt, but I won't feel bad if the other QB go down and TB gets a shot

Here's the video. https://ftw.usatoday.com/2015/07/tim-tebow-exclusive-workout-eagles Looks quite a bit different to me. We'll have to wait and see what it looks like in games and whether it leads to better passes.

Looks the same to me. He's had so many corrections done to it, he's probably going through motion sickness.

Hmmmm.... looks different to me and release is quicker. Its just so sad that he had no competent Qb coach in college

We will see how it goes.

Does to me.

Here's an analysis of the old motion:


[Video=Youtube;w9R7vd78q1A]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9R7vd78q1A[/video]


Throughout his career he has side armed the ball badly. Even in the combine shots where he was supposed to have improved it he was just leaning his torso over so that when he side armed it the ball would go over the top instead of out to the side.


In that new video posted previously, he actually has some bend in his elbow when he throws it. That looks significantly different to me.

So his biggest (or one of his biggest) supporters is Skip Bayless. Say what you will about Skip but he's always been a Tebow fan - and even he said that Tom House's 'endorsement' of Tebow's latest progress was surprising in that it was "tepid" at best.
House:
"Is he an elite passer? Probably not, but he can probably pass enough, with enough efficiency, accuracy and velocity to make it a little bit harder on the defense.
He's probably right in the middle of the pack as far as NFL quarterback mechanical efficiency. He's in the top 60."

Maybe House is just trying to set the bar kind of low so no one will be too excited.
Wonder if they worked on his ability to read NFL defenses - because if he's not ready mentally then this was all for nothing.

Overall he does look improved. And he has Mark Sanchez and Sam Bradford in front of him.

 

[Bernardo de la Paz]

Much like our offense, "middle of the pack" would be a big improvement. I think the guy is trying to say he's not going to be Tom Brady.

Fixing his throwing motion is one thing. Fixing the problem between his ears, is a whole other challenge. I hope the very best for TT.

 

[TN G8tr]

The motion does look different. Ball is higher and appearing to get the ball out quicker. If he becomes more natural with it he can concentrate on the reads. Maybe Chip Kelly will help him more than we know.

Here's a longer article that tells the whole story and gives more credence that his throwing motion likely has changed, though there's not any mention of work on reading defenses, moving through progressions or things of that nature.

...and no surprise here...

Skeptics, of House and Tebow, might reserve judgment until Tebow gets on the field again. Mechanics aside, House suggests one thing about Tebow should be unquestioned.
“His motivation muscle is just like it was a starting quarterback in the NFL,” House said. “He never, ever backed off on his motivation.”

The last few years he's displayed a quicker delivery. That's not the primary issue with Tebow. As noted in this thread, it's his ability to process the field.

Yep. Takes too long to make a decision. Won't throw unless the person is open by a mile.

Exactly. Doesn't matter how quick the release as long as the brain isn't releasing as quick.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

Yes and yes. However, I think part of the lack of confidence to pull the trigger is his experience at not being able to hit passes. Six tenths of a second is a long time to allow a pro DB to react. Cutting that time will allow him confidence to hit smaller windows.

We will see how it goes.
