Jefferson's throwing motion

Is there any reason he does this other than his throwing motion, or is it one bad throw out of many good ones.

probably the product of over-thinking the throw. His head is probably swimming right now with the pace of a regular season...

These are all valid points

First, JJ is an exceptional talent physically and mentally. However, he’s a very young starting QB. In fact, he’s the youngest starting QB in the SEC and he’s far from being a polished starting SEC QB. But, he’ll get there. Jordan has great pocket presence, feels the pressure, sees the field well and most importantly takes care of the ball. However, JJ at this point, isn’t a very accurate passer and it’s his feet that are the problem. He didn’t step into the throw to LaFell -- He doesn’t always step into his throws or set his feet and that’s most of the problem. His arm slot has gotten better since last year and that helps too but it may take more time/reps before it’s where it should be. Many of his completion against Vandy weren’t too accurate. I’m not bashing JJ – he’s going to be great. Accuracy is a function of several aspects of the game and is developed/improved later in a QB’s progression. As he becomes more familiar w/ the playbook, reading defenses, foot work, etc. the accuracy will come and WR won’t be reaching back for balls or practically scooping it off the turf, ala. LaFell on a bubble screen to the right during the game.
That said, the kid is awesome and you could tell he had “IT” last year against GT when he looked off the safety and came back to Dickson for the TD. The guy has a very high football IQ.

JJ has been playing with wet balls both games.

being careful throwing it low prevent ints

how many INT's does he have? Egzackery.

I call BS on this "very young" crap. That little skinny QB at Miami is the same age as JJ and can flat out sling the ball on a rope and hit a dime at 50 yards. ESPN is talking him up for the Heisman. Same class and star rating as JJ. Youth is no longer an excuse in college football.

you sure know alot about college quaterbacking

Not only do I not think he will win the Heisman, but I think Shepard takes over at QB after about the fourth game. Shepard is better than most of you think.

---

I still believe Shepard is more talented that JJ and will eventually take over the starting QB spot. I haven't seen anything on the field to change my mind.

I would like to see him get the nose of the football up a little (nose-down footballs are hard to catch). He'll get it together

are you talking about??? If the nose stays up on the football, it is floating in the air, and not thrown with velocity...not exactly what you want. And, a nose down football is NOT hard to catch, IF you use your hands and not your chest...ask Henderson
