26TrapDraw Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Ok so I'm watching the bills round ups on BB.com and I noticed something. Just about every ball Fitz threw was a wobbler. It had plenty of zip on it but I cant help but think when the bullets are flying that the wobbly passes are what's getting him in trouble with timing/accuracy. Thoughts?

eball Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 If bullets are flying then Fitz has a lot more to worry about than throwing a perfect spiral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Cat Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I've noticed that, too. Sometimes it's really really bad. I tell myself it's because he's still working on his mechanics, and still not throwing/releasing instinctively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optometric Insight Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 He just needs to get used to the new throwing technique. It takes a while to get used to something when you've been doing something else all along. When a baseball player changes their swing, it takes them a few practices to make contact let alone hitting a home run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kota Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 You guys are watching a highlight real of the big plays. Yes some of them are wobblers on big gainers. who knows what the rest of it looks like. Give it time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooderson Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Peyton Manning throws his share of wobblers as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van_phelaN1 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Not ALL of them were ducks but I can understand concern over seeing it. I did see a couple of tight spirals in there though. I would also think this might have something to do with these new throwing mechanics he has been working on but it is tough to tell because Fitzy has thrown plenty of ugly passes before. I guess at the end of the day, as long as the bad looking throws still end up being completions, I won't complain. I like Fitz a lot so it is easy to find optimism in this for me and I could be way off base. In truth, we are only seeing a sample size of the plays in these videos. For all I know, the others could be better, or much worse... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Jabber Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 With the reports from the OTA's & yesterday, it sounds like Fitz's accuracy is improving. Chandler & TJ Graham had some good catches yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Hindsight Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 With longer passes it actually helps to have a little wobble. The ball is on target im not concerned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meark Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I think Fitz's hands are small or he doesn't get a good grip of the ball. Many of his errant passes last year seemed to slip out of his hand. So either his hands are small or he doesn't have a firm grip.. You can work on the grip.. can't do much about small hands.. Hope he figures it out.
