I disagree - I think it's very common for NFL QBs to throw that pass quickly without setting up and stepping into the throw in the same way they would in a drop back situation. Nobody wants to telegraph that pass because getting the ball to the WR before the DB reacts is crucial or it will go for a loss. Mahomes throws that pass like a middle infielder turning a double play.

ankle looking alright

*No,,,it ain't looking all that "alright" after he rifles out his 3 speed locked-on & launch's, watch that right stiff legged mule stotting as he backs outta' camera screen( tho, that could just be because subconsciously he knows that S.O.B. down there , could bring on the pain, again and he doesn't want anymore of that kinda' action, but I seriously doubt it, that brief glimpse of that stotting is indicative of severely curtailed range of motion, and I know of which end is up ,,,er,,, in that of which I speak of.):star:

I don't have to be a football coach to know what I see QBs do. Do you have to be an accountant to observe how a person writes a check?

This is taking a snap from under center - not in the shotgun - with the point being to get the ball to the outside as quickly as possible, and I've seen countless QB's make snap throws in that situation without setting up their body, taking a step and using textbook throwing mechanics.

Looks stiff. Keep practicing. Lol. I want to see how he drops back, which foot was it.

At least he is getting the ball out quick. Remember the game (I think it was a playoff game) he hesitated and that type of pass got jumped and picked.

He looks so athletic throwing to a stationary target for zero gain. Honestly this clip doesn't do him any justice for the amount of work we know he is putting in.

Um, the fact that he is moving his feet like he is with no sign of a limp or weakness is pretty significant considering that his leg was snapped in half.

I am happy to see him moving. Want to see him dropping back and planting and releasing. I think he will be more accurate this year. I want to see him take off and run with it a few times and get those jitters out.

Isn't that normal on a quick pass with no drop back and designed to get the ball out before the defense can react?

Yes...they almost never set their feet for that pass...it's all about the timing and quick release.

So, what do you do for a living? Is it too secret?

Not enough velocity on the ball.
He doesn't possess a cannon arm.
Mahomes, Josh Allen, Rodgers can make that type
of throw without proper mechanics. Dak can't.
Actually most QBs can't.
