Very true. If you or I practiced 14 hours a day for the next three years it wouldn't matter.

He's starting from a different point though, and I really can't say whether it will be enough in his case.

They're all projects.

Sidearm or unorthodox style being sited here, "Expert". The Chargers were apprehensive about drafting Rivers as well do to his unorthodox throwing style and lack of strength, but that seemed to work out for them.

The difference here being that Rivers/Young had unorthodox deliveries, but they were still compact deliveries that had a bit of zip. There was some concern that their balls would sail on them and with Young, you still see that he's not the most accurate passer in the world.

Tebow's throwing motion out of college took way too long to get out of his hand. 1) in the NFL, that second is the difference between a sack and a completed pass; 2) in the NFL, if you start throwing with the ball at your hip, that ball will be stripped every single time.

Whereas Rivers/Young had unorthodox throwing motions, Tebow has the completely wrong throwing motion. It'll take time to change. I think he can overcome it. The question is if he can still be effective. No one knows.

Maybe.

bad mechanics stay for life ... had a local boy that pitched at 95 mph went to the pros triple a .. they changed his release threw his arm out in one year ...

I've been thinking KNOMO is a chiefs member disguised as a donkey fan.

Tebow and Romo
are the future's Aikmen and Buck
and I don't mean just announcers

Eh, I think pitching is a whole different animal. It's so straining on your arm that there are a million different ways you can get hurt just by making small tweaks to your mechanics. That's why there are so many pitchers that get these rotator cuff type injuries. Football isn't nearly as bad on your arm.

I think Tebow can and will change his mechanics. The bigger question is if his game translates on the next level. And there's no doubt that while he's working on his mechanics, it's going to take him even longer to learn how to play in the NFL.

exactly

Awwwww, somebody must have finally put this guy in the red, so he turned his shit off.

Thanks for playing, buster
