It was recommended to him by drew brees who went through the same thing. Pretty great read if you can find the article, interesting guy.That hit by Rocky Bernard that blew his shoulder up was brutal. I wont say he is injury prone. In todays NFL you just cant play with a concussion anymore. The shoulder injury has long been behind him, to say that is like saying i worry about Tom Brady's ACL every year.

Yep.. good post. To add, while Alex doesn't have that freak cannon arm that Kaepernick has, his arm strength definitely improved after working with Tom House. His arm strength and deep pass game is not a concern. He wasn't asked to throw it deep often. Between problems with pass protection, lackluster deep play WRs, and conservative offense built around high percentage keep-away, this fallacy of Alex being incapable of throwing deep is an eye-roll for me.
