Now, I don't know what a slow delivery is, but for the heck of it, I am going to go 0.10 more for 0.45.

At 49 mph, Watson's ball is traveling at 24 yards a second upon release, or 2.4 yards every tenth of a second.

At 55 mph, a ball is traveling at 27 yards a second upon release, or 2.7 yards every tenth of a second.

If Watson gets the ball out one tenth of a second quicker, it takes 8 tenths for the two passes to be at the same point on the field, or 21.6 yards downfield when that happens.

If Watson increases his speed to 51, and holds that one tenth edge in release time, the distance goes out to 33.8 yards before the two passes would be at the same point.

Release makes a difference, to be sure. As does anticipation. But that gets back to the Brees comparison; you have to be perfect. And I don't see that in Watson at all.

I haven't seen the SS you're referring to; does it compare most of the prospects releases? It's damn hard to pick that up just by watching clips. I always felt like his release was about average since he comes over the top like he does but I am open to being convinced otherwise.

I haven't seen it either. I would like too. Just saw Watson has the quickest one at 0.35, which is the same as Aaron Rodgers.

I have not been able to find any other times.

This is weird.

I keep seeing this same guy tweeting shit about the sportscience episode (Marcus Mosher) but otherwise there's no reference to it anywhere and I can't find it.

He also says that the same episode gave Chad Kelly the highest marks they've given to any QB since Jamies Winston.

That's all I can find on it too.

DJ,

I don't think the whole episode is there, but they have some of it up on the front page of ESPN.com right now.

It just has Watson, Kizer, and Trubisky in a 2:00 or so clip, but it is fairy interesting. I would like to see the whole show.

And FWIW, they have Watson's throwing at 53.5 instead of 49. Says he throws flat-footed.

Sounds like he could increase a bit with minimal improvements IMO.


I also found a Sports Science: Draft Combine Special is on ESPN2 Sunday night at 10:00 PM Central Time. Not sure if that is the show this comes from or not, but I am recording it anyway.
