His passes have a trajectory that looks really good.
I probably won't do a great job of explaining this concept, but I'll try.
Some QBs passes have a much more pronounced none-down trajectory than others.
At the point after the top of the arc as the ball starts to descend, the ball takes a more nose down trajectory.
The opposite are QBs where the ball often stays nose up for some time after the top of the arc.
For some QBs the ball often stays nose up all the way to the receiver.
The nose up type QBs tend to throw with their hand more under the ball where the ball rolls off their somewhat open palm.
Most nose down QBs have an exaggerated wrist snap.
It's similar to a draw (nose down) and a fade (nose up) in golf.
I assume that the ball is spinning faster on the nose down type passes.
I always think of Aikman and those images of him after a pass where he had that exaggerated pronation and exaggerated follow-though.
Aaron Rodgers has distinctive nose down type passes.
Andrew Luck had the most unique trajectory that I've seen. His passes looked as if the ball was nose down as it was still ascending and seemed to have an exaggerated decent rate once it did pass the top the arc.
Both Romo and Dak became more nose down type QBs as they progressed in the NFL and both became more accurate.
It was one of the Eagles QBs that I recall having a nose up style despite having a big arm and good accuracy (It was either McNabb or Cunningham).
In general I always noticed exaggerated nose up more with the running type QBs, especially some of those college QBs that converted to WR in the NFL.
It does not prove anything. There have been plenty of nose up QBs with success in the NFL. It is just an interesting detail that I've notice over the years.
Unfortunately the majority of YouTube type videos don't maintain a high enough frame rate to really see it.
