Go route has touch to it. Cross can be a hard dart into tight window. Diff throw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep saying more than almost anyone I have seen he is a guy who needs to be in rhythm.... week after the bye and then that strange first drive where lots was going on it just seemed to take him until after HT to get going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought he was excellent 2nd half. I still think the Giants game is the closest we have got to a 4 Quarter performance from him. But when he is good he is like top 10 NFL Quarterback good. And it just makes him to confusing to work out! The problem with him is consistency. Consistency is supposed to be the mark of the professional. His ceiling will always be too low if he can't be relied on to deliver 4 quarters of quality football, b/c eventually our opponent will have a QB who can.

He has improved the footwork and touch but now he seems to need to recalibrate his touch on the longer passes. I think he figures it out. Right here.

I assume to give the WR time to see it and run under it. Have you seen his deep misses in person? Because I have, and my impression is the opposite, he's not putting enough air under his deep throws. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan in San Diego Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 He needs some shopping cart training. Have a guy push a shopping cart while running and have JA put in the basket. Keep doing it until he gets it in the basket most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diff throw This is not really true... Aaron Rodgers, who is the best deep ball thrower in the NFL, tries to throw it the same distance every time. He focuses on mechanics and side. The rest is all timing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenorthremembers Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Looking back over the Bills history it's pretty amazing aside from the season John Brown is currently having, Cole's season projections have him at the most receptions for a Bills wideout since 2012. He gets some flack on the board but I think he has been a tremendous add to the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldTimeAFLGuy Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 ...just needs to reduce the "black powder" a bit from the cannon for the long ball.......sees an opening and his adrenaline goes into "over drive"........it will com with maturation as has his shorter game....quite an improvement to date IMO..... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negative. For the long term success of a QB it’s much more important to be able to “hit the bunnies” for long term success. They’re focused on that stuff in their limited practice reps is all. Once they’re comfortable with the timing on the shorter stuff they’ll give it more reps and it’ll be fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
