This is probably the 10th time i've stated this:
Back when i first watched Mahomes my initial reaction was, "wow, this guy's mechanics are the worst i've ever seen. His footwork is terrible". I posted something along those lines in the Draft sub forum.
I thought to myself, "there's no way this guy will work in the NFL. QB's rarely fix mechanical issues in the NFL. See Tebow or Bortles or Gabbert or pretty much every QB who never made it".
I stated i thought he had that "it" factor however.
I watched him more and more. And then some more. And some more.
I had an epiphany. I realized, "wow, you know what? Despite some of the worst mechanics i've ever seen, this guy makes ELITE throws regardless". High velocity, accurate, back foot jump throws 50 yards downfield.
"WTF is this?". Oh...i get it now...
He doesn't NEED perfect mechanics to make these throws.
That's rare. That's Rodgers type talent.
