On no some internet tough guy who holds a vendetta for getting clowned years ago called me a female
This shouldn't be surprising. You observe D1 college quarterbacks at random and there's a 60% chance you'll see school yard level throwing mechanics.[h1]Terrelle Pryor said he never knew how to throw a football before this offseason[/h1]

quarterback Terrelle Pryor has played quarterback since at least high school, probably back to Pop Warner, and through all that time he says nobody taught him how to throw a football.
With the news that Michael Vick was never taught how to properly carry a football and now Pryor's claim, it's fair to ask how many coaches at all levels are ignoring fundamentals.
Like Vick, Pryor is tremendously talented. He was famously the top football recruit in the nation coming out of high school, and one of the best basketball recruits too. He went to Ohio State, whose fans probably aren't too surprised to learn that Pryor never knew how to properly throw a football.
He told the Bay Area News Group that he worked with former major-league pitcher Tom House (he's a throwing guru who has worked with Tom Brady) on fundamentals, and is working with offensive coordinator Greg Olson John DeFilippo to continue to learn to be a passer.
Yeah, that's kind of a prerequisite for the job."I never really knew how to throw a football before," Pryor said, according to Bay Area News Group. "It's coming along. I'm getting way better. I probably missed four or five throws out of 80, 85 throws today. I might ice my arm as a precaution tonight, but it feels great.
"They've got me going in the right direction to be a pretty good quarterback who knows how to throw the ball."
It's remarkable Pryor made the NFL despite his claim that he was never taught proper throwing fundamentals. It says a lot about his natural talent. He has always been known as a tremendous athlete, but never seemed to reach his full potential with Ohio State and was far too raw to get a legitimate shot in Oakland last season. Now we have an idea why.
Pryor is the darkhorse in the quarterback race at Oakland. Now that he finally knows how to throw a football, that might help him in the competition.
Feel the same way, won 9 games with a tough schedule and w/o Nicks most of the season and a non existent pass rush. They just weren't good enough all around to win those tough games down the stretch,
They can't blow divisional games by 1 point though like they did vs the Skins, it's division or bust since no wild cards will come from that division.
Just a matter of being healthy at the right time as is always the case.
He may have been referring to Tynes missing that FG. But like you said everyone can play the "should've,would've", could've game. Another example is getting that terrible PI penalty vs the Eagles.How did they blow that game against the Skins? And if so I'd say the Skins definitely blew the first game up in NY.
Watch out Brady were coming for you
Lmfao im being serious. No gronk, no Hernandez, no welker. Imandoula or how ever you spell his name never stays healthy. I know its Brady but what can a QB do with no options? Also out defense is looking good this year. And we should have a great d-line that can put pressure on the QB which is bradys biggest weak ness if you knock him around a bit he struggles.
I'm not eem Pats fan but come on
I'm trying to tell em who's Brady gonna throw the ball to this year? His 3 main targets are not gonna be there.Not a fan but dolphins are taking the division..
