KZ Throwing Motion

Good analysis of what needs to be cleaned up if he wants to go pro in 2 years.
I'm sure Heup is well aware of this stuff. Shows why it's good to have QB coaches on staff.

 

[cnsaguy]

Heup's job is to win college football games, not develop pros. While it's a nice bonus to have alums in the NFL, it doesn't help the team while these players are here. So many great college players that have won games and Heisman trophies and fizzled in the NFL. Milton may very well be one of them. And that's ok.

Don’t fix it if it ain’t broke

We want him to throw tight spirals on a rope with perfect mechanics like the Nobraska QBs
How else are we going to be as good as they are?

I guess you didn't pay much attention to the analysis. Loss of strength in throws due to improper techniques and greater ability to hurt arm/shoulder.

Why do the interviews lately of Heup speak of him inviting ex-UCF players to come and share what it takes to get to the next level? Going to the NFL is a major attraction to our recruits!

Not worth the risk to take a Heisman candidate and dick with his throwing motion......the team comes first!

 

[Mikesi]

It’s rare for college QBs to hurt their shoulders or arms based on their throwing motion and mechanics. When you’re throwing the ball high (2016), something needed to be fixed and it was. When you’re the second best QB in the nation, very little needs to be fixed. Let the NFL worry about him when the time comes. Doubt Milton is worried. Milton and the coaching staff will work on and fix what needs to be fixed to succeed at UCF. That appears to be nearly nothing.

So the point is he was a sophomore QB and should improve over the next two years. Got it.

I'd like to hear Troy Walters' take on this

MZ is unlikely to make it as a NFL QB. he is too small. The NFL is a cookie cutter league.

FIFY

So wrong, QBs 6 feet and under in the NFL Have a 56% winning % in last 5 years. Taller than 6 foot, are at 49%. The game has changed and the whole tall QB thing and being too small is just not true. Mallet, Lynch, Osweiller, Glennon turned out to be great!

The issue is what % of decent below-average size QBs don’t even get a chance because of size?

It definitely plays a role in terms of being drafted

But there are so many qbs given opportunities in camps and preseason who aren't drafted, if you do what Milton did last season, and hopefully he continues to be as efficient as he was, he's going to get a chance, even if he's not drafted

Interesting find - thanks for sharing.

I hope you’re right that he gets a look if the on-field performance warrants it.

Another case where numbers can be deceiving. Maybe QB's 6'0" and under have a 56% winning percentage, but there are only two starting quarterbacks that fall into that category. Drew Brees and Russel Wilson.

Right. Differing sample sizes and also, since the barriers to the nfl are more significant for a shorter QB, the ones that do make it must be exceptional talents (more likely to win).

Obviously the sample size is different by a large margin which is the reason it is a discussion. Manziel and Vick also have played a decent amount of games in the last 5 seasons and fit the category. There aren't a lot of QBs 6 feet and under in college that even perform well in college to get a chance at the next level. My point is Milton's sophomore season, if (hopefully) he can match it, puts his numbers and stats with the talented qbs who have won in the NFL like Wilson and Bree's.

Because he's short might affect him draft position wise like it will Mayfield, but if he can show he can do perform and fit the criteria of being a good QB outside of his height he'll still get a chance and that's all you need.

Not like oh, he's 5'10-11" we're just gonna disregard the fact that he's a really good football player.
