JJ's Fundamentals and Mechanics

I was busy yesterday raising money for a scholarship for a future hokie at a VT watch party, during the first half. I didn't get to watch the first half as close as I would usually.

Can anyone tell me how his fundamentals looked this game compared to the other 2 games. Any easy passes that ended up in the dirt because he didn't set his feet?

The RPO pop pass in the 3rd was beautiful. Glad we got the timing/footing worked out for that.

All I know is that his deep ball over the middle seemed on point. Even the one that was incomplete hit the receiver's hands.

Couple of underthrows on deep balls but they drew PIs and may have been intentional. I thought his worst read was the deep completion to Clark. Savoy was open going down the seam.

When a deep completion is your worst read of the day... that's a pretty good day.

May have been a bad read, but it was an incredible throw. Back shoulder across the field....

I thought he looked really good. He had a lot of time to throw and didn't appear to force anything. Definitely, playing the part of a heady QB. Fundamentally, he looked good. Feet were pretty much always set and it didn't look like he threw off his back foot. Ball placement looked solid as well, but then again my experience with fundamentals is best described below.

backstory on this gif please? please?

Did I ever tell you I could throw a football a quarter mile?

Never seen it, looked colossally stupid in the couple ads I saw.

Oh it definitely was...but like...in a good way

I didn't enjoy it the first time I watched it. I kept an open mind about it.

The second and third time....it was maaaaaaaarvelous!!!

Well shoot I wouldn't have knowed that. I thought it was a lamp.

I love a good nap. Sometimes that's all that's getting me out of bed in the morning.

Well this one came off the tracks quickly.

It looked like to me his throws could have been delivered a bit quicker on the out routes.

I love how it flashes UVA colors at the end. Very metaphorical.

That is exactly why I used in last years uva game thread.

Holy shit, is this footage of Northeast Regional 188 derailing near Philly a couple years ago?

I thought his throws were excellent for the most part. He had 7 incompletions. One was a definite throw away plus 3 were drops (Savoy on early 3rd down, Cam on crossing route, and Murphy (I think?) on crossing route). Just off the top of my head.

He fundamentally beat the shit out of ECU, if that's what you mean.

The dude throws a sweet deep ball and on dimes.

Actually I've noticed he throws a fairly wobbly ball.

As long as he gets it to where it needs to be and it gets caught, I'm okay.

But if some DBs get to a few or or a few get dropped, the armchair QB gurus will suddenly be all over it.
