Max is a lefty. Does that matter?

I've read varying opinions over the years. Some say it makes line protection harder and others say drawing up plays can get funky. Many other reasons have also been cited for the lack of lefty success.

Obviously not an excuse for line play or Max.

Just curious what the Rant's take on it is.

Alabama managed when Hurts and Tua were both playing at the same time

What matters is he’s not experienced enough to make checks and adjust protections and he’s not gifted enough throwing the ball to overcome that. You can’t have a game manager who doesn’t have a full grasp of the position in an offense like ours. Now that there’s enough film out on him DCs are taking away away the things that were easy for him in his 2 starts last season and he hasn’t been able to take the next step.

im not a fan of LH QB's but I don't know if it really impacts the wr's or blocking protections

Tua, Tebow, Leinart, Steve Young, Boomer Esiason, Michael Vick, Mark Brunnell, etc. all say hi.

Being a lefty has nothing to do with it.

(and I'm a lefty)

It does not matter as long as you have competent coaches that can scheme around a left handed QB.

Nah. He's gotta shorten his delivery. That's the issue.

Max has what it takes to be successful, but needs time to develop

Just like it matters which hammers, screw drivers, and forks he uses.

No. He’s a bad quarterback. I mean bad. Really bad. Which is what my last account got banned for saying last year, when everyone was fangirling him because “he has that it factor.”

It apparently doesn't stop people from making more stupid threads.

He happens to throw a lot of low balls. He has to tighten his delivery and give a more catchable for YAC.

Some have an unnatural throwing motion. The ball doesn’t come out quickly. From watching Max, I’d say he isn’t an exception. It’s like he has to wind up to get rid of the ball.

Steve Young, Ken Stabler, Boomer Esiason, Mark Brunell, Vick. They are legit lefty qbs. Max isn't one of them

I don't think so.
However, that may be the reason receivers dropped Nuss's passes. According to receivers, catching a pass from a lefty is different from a right hander.
They were familiar with Johnson but didn't make the mental adjustment for Nuss.
