this video is very helpful specially for beginners, this shows how to execute throwing the proper way. Its nice to return to basics once in awhile. Great!
I've found that a helpful way to increase accuracy is to keep your foot pointed at the person, keep your eye on the person at all times, and watch your arm out of the corner of your eye, being sure to release the throw just as it goes down and your hand is in front of the person you're throwing to. In most cases I've found that this helps with accuracy moreso than anything else I've tried.
Also being a quarterback for guys who havent got such a strong arm but are more accurate, the rotation of the hips is just as important to create power as well as the last step of the drop back.
Yes it is very very Awsome. I started to do this because i originally didn't have Quarterback pads and that caused me to mess up on my throws when i got the way of side armed i got that down and it allowed me to be able to Throw with dam near perfection
I'm playing for my flag football team and I always started at wide out but I wanna play quarterback and be a leader thanks for showing me the main objective to being one
You make sense because it's crucial how you position your body to throw the football. That can mean the difference between being sore the next day as compared to not being sore. My problem is throwing against the wind. Any advice for this? I throw overhand...
@AllPro777 great comment...that is very true...There have been some great QB's that have horrible mechanics...many make it to the NFL on those intangibles you mentioned; however, if kids learn proper fundamentals early it increases their chances of success...Tim Tebow comes to mind in this context...he can lead, understand the playbook (not sure about defenses), and get the ball to the open man, and win. But he realizes having good mechanics makes his motion faster and more economical and
@QBBCALLEN....atta boy, that's exactly right! the arms do the same thing every time, it's all about your lower body and finishing a throw. You've been taught right, your arm just does what your lower half allows
to throw father and with more force, the obvious solution is to pile on muscle in the upper arm and shoulder, another way is to bring your throwing shoulder into the pass followed by the elbow, then by the hand holding the ball... it will act as a sling type action
same grip I always used. And yes release point matters. Not so sure about the pronating thing though, puts alot of stress on my shoulder/elbow and those are already shot..
And my last comment for now, from a book titled "Coaching Football: Tehcnical and Tactical Skills": "As the throw begins, the quarterback should push off the inside of his back foot, stepping DIRECTLY TOWARD HIS TARGET with the front foot." So two different printed sources apparently show that I am correct, and that the lead foot points at the target (aka receiver) as the throw is being made or about to be made. And many more sources say this, too. It is taught by professionals.
@92NB Hey, I am a coach of a Football team in Germany. The level of playing in the lower leagues is so, that even when you start playing at age 18 you can grow into a team and get good playing team as QB or WR quickly. It's similar around all Europe. It all depends on your effort, the team and on the coaches you have. If you have a goal, ask people to coach you and usually you will find some. If you work hard, you will progress and get better and be able to earn a playing spot. in the US: 2 old!
@trickster13 Your uncle is absolutely correct. I am a Raider fan and one of my favorite quarterbacks was Rich Gannon. He had an unorthadox style and he threw the football in a side arm style. He picked up yards with his feet and just knew how to win. Before he came to the Raiders they were terrible but he was able to take that team to the Super Bowl. @Yourface-You are right on Rivers loos very weird when he throws but he wins.
dude same with me im tryed out for the football team this year and when they ran post routs i lazered them right into thier hands but i need to work on my streaks
When you want to throw a straight spiral have daylight(dont choke the ball leave air under your arm) now the first finger you have helps guide the ball and it also helps you to get a spiral but me myself throw side armed and doing that i guide with my middle finger and the spiral goes better everytime i throw its a spiral
The only thing my coach has ever told our QB about his style is to throw it with your arm extended higher in the air rather than sidearm so it doesn't get swatted easily or hit by a d-lineman's head.
Do you have any other throwing technique videos, as i would love to learn more, and develop my throwing more. In New Zealand it is hard to find someone who knows much about football ;)
By keeping the eye on the person at all times, I'm referring to throughout the entire throwing motion. I'm not referring to during the entire duration of a play. That should have been quite obvious, given the subject matter and the way I worded my post. Everything that I wrote in the first post is to be done quickly as soon as you're going to throw to someone (point foot, keep your eye locked onto them as you're going through the motion, release & flick when hand is in right spot).
@trickers13 Apparently there is a wrong or right way, otherwise people wouldn't be harping on Tim Tebow so much to change his mechanics. There are some adjustments you must make at the NFL level to increase your release speed, such as keeping the football held high with both hands. Defensive backs and LB's in the NFL are much better at reading a QB's eyes and if you don't have a quick release, they'll read you like an open book. Beyond that, I agree, QB's can vary their styles.
@geniedude34 just remember there is a right way and a wrong way to do anything...you still have time to reprogram your muscle memory and you should do it...getting the ball out quicker and more efficiently is always a good thing...good luck in the future.
I can throw a perfect spiral, but I can't get any distance, and if I think about what I'm doing I can't throw properly, I can pnly do it if I don't try to hard.
My arm always hurts after throwing alot...best tip giv it to the running backs more ahaaa but no seriously you just gotta get your elbow a bit higher on release thts what i do to make it hurt less message back if it helps
Would be curious to know what your thoughts are regarding this young man's throwing mechanics look like. Do a RUclips search for: Three Pounds at Birth to Football Quarterback & Linebacker Thanks
And just to prove I'm right, from a book written by Tom Bass titled "Football Skills & Drills": "The quarterback's passing motion begins with a STEP FORWARD on the foot OPPOSITE HIS PASSING ARM. The quarterback AIMS THE TOES of this lead foot DIRECTLY TOWARD WHERE HE IS GOING TO PASS THE BALL. With this step, the quarterback's entire body begins to POINT AT THE SPOT WHERE HE WANTS TO DELIVER THE BALL. At this moment, his lead foot and hips are AIMED AT THE TARGET." So who is right, you or I?
maybe in a hs spread offense. there are not many times you will have to throw the ball 50 yards or plus, but you'd probably have a problem in the pocket. your speed isnt that great; 4,9 is like average ,but if you are quick enough you problaby could play behind a small oline. collegge is out of the questuon
@sliccmoufschalaa It's a crapshoot with QBing though. Some of the best QB's of all time aren't fundamentally sound, while some of the worst were considered fundamentally perfect. At the end of the day, all that matters is that the QB can lead, understand the playbook and the defenses he's facing, get the ball to the open man, and win. How he does those things is really secondary to the main goal.
There is a correct way to do everything on the football field especially throw a football QB's that don't learn early are at risk of never developing their natural talent if they dont learn properly...ppl that have an "ADAPT UR OWN STYLE" mentality are at risk of being deemed "uncoachable" on scouting reports when trying to go to college or pros!!
@AllPro777 increases your chances of being successful. At the pro level fractions of a second on wasted motion puts you in the category of a Byron Leftwich, a guy that has all of the intangibles but has a horrible throwing motion vs. guys like Brady, Manning, McNabb who have awesome mechanics. Every now and then a guy with a horrible motion can be successful like a Bernie Kosar but its better to learn the proper way as early as possible. Its a testament to a players early coaching.
no i remember when my whole arm hurt its actually a good thing means that ur throwin power is gona grow but itll hurt for like a month then ull see how far u could really throw i can throw 70 yards. trust i was pissed when hurt but now i know why
@sliccmoufschalaa Byron Leftwich is a good example, but at the same time his injuries had more to do with his decline than anything. But there have been highly successful QB's with odd throwing motions. You mentioned Kosar, I'll throw in Cunningham, Rivers (who the experts said needed to be changed, but they were wrong), Unitas had an ugly motion, Baugh's motion was horrendous, Roethlisberger's mechanics stink, George's backfoot throwing, Warner and his wounded duck passes, the list goes on.
People have told me that for 4 years and it has never torn up my arm many peoples arm that try to throw like me they alwayz end up hurting themsleves but my arm alwayz feels perfect nothing goes wrong but idk
Sorry, brownie8210, but every quarterback you've ever seen in college and the NFL pronates their hand downward after release. 100 percent of them. Next time you're watching football, pay attention to the quarterback. Case in point, watch what Drew Brees does from 00:12-00:15 in the NFL's United Way Obama commercial. It's on RUclips.
Watching where your hand is out of the corner of your eye before you release the ball is something you can do just to practice with accuracy, but not something that's necessary to do all the time. And yes, you DO point your lead foot at the receiver so as to lean in that direction following through the motion. Go read some articles and books - written by very credible sources, including Tom Bass who has coached in the NFL - then come back and make another moronic comment.
@AllPro777 great points youre making me pull the Brady, Manning, Breeze card out...LOL...these guys do it right and they are at the top of the league, but you do have Rivers in that bunch and he is among the elite...it just makes a kids chances of success greater if they learn the right way...if ur a b-ball fan Shawn Merriman just won a ring and he has the ugliest shot ever in the NBA...LOL
I hate when people watch these videos and say that the things there doing is incorrect...why watch the video if you know how to do it in the first place?
@trickers13 Its great coaches that make great players you think the players you see today just showed up at the park and got spotted by talent scouts? They were built into champions and contenders by being taught the fundamentals and then being given the time to adapt to their own ability.......to say this guy did nothing with his life is just plain wrong, everyone who loves football has the dream your uncle lived out but unfortunantly not everyone can follow that same pathway
First of all this quarterback has no physical placement he is to skinny. then what you are saying isn't all true throwing a football does need you to be strong, but the main thing is TECHNIQUE! if you don't have technique you cant throw a football. finger placement, how you move your hips, your feet, your shoulders, those are all very important things on how to throw a football, Im a 14 year old Quarterback Who is originally from tucson arizona but is now in mexico and kicking ass;)!

i totally agree with you i dont check my arm at all it is instict if you are good you know where your throwing all the time
Believe. No matter what people say. believe and move forward. thats how you become a good quarterback
PrankstyGaming thanks for watching!

a good qb only needs to use laces in bad weather or when throwing the deep ball
AMAZING technique at 0:09

well he's the centre of the offence, n therefore usually in the spotlight so it makes sense
Great! now that i know how to properly throw a football, i can finally tryout and become a professional nfl player! I'm 35
wow!!! i can learn some tips from this dude!!! im totally trying out for the football team!!! cause my school now allows girls to play!!! yay!!!
Could the pain signal that your not throwing the ball right, i always have some pain above my forearm as i qb?
oh nice!
I can throw a perfect spiral, but I can't get any distance, and if I think about what I'm doing I can't throw properly, I can pnly do it if I don't try to hard.
i can throw spiral but the front point of the ball isnt pointing the target, it is pointing right hand side.... can you help me?
My arm always hurts after throwing alot...best tip giv it to the running backs more ahaaa but no seriously you just gotta get your elbow a bit higher on release thts what i do to make it hurt less message back if it helps
Nice video…good way to show some basics…im a 8th grade QB in TX…let me know what you think about my video..
any one have tips on how i can throw farther and with more force
Would be curious to know what your thoughts are regarding this young man's throwing mechanics look like.

@trickers13 who, what team
You do use your foot to kick the ball in this!
There is a correct way to do everything on the football field especially throw a football QB's that don't learn early are at risk of never developing their natural talent if they dont learn properly...ppl that have an "ADAPT UR OWN STYLE" mentality are at risk of being deemed "uncoachable" on scouting reports when trying to go to college or pros!!
I think Tebow needs to watch this.

@trickers13 What is his name?
oh my did he have AIR between the ball and his hand? please tell me again!
@NOAH87BROWNIE=the man
@TheGuyWithTheCortez Yeah. You stated u have a little speed your accurate yeah plus if your in high school then yes because most high school qb sucks
1:12 is all like "haaaaaaay!!! im fabulous!!"
does tht qb remind u of alex smith too
hey i am 14 has 6.3 i play as a running back, weigth 210
@trickers13 who was your uncle?
dam u should play wide reciever tightend or somtin not unless ur like super skinny im 5.8 or 5.9 im just under 170 and i play linebacker
QB IS A GREAT POSITION
People have told me that for 4 years and it has never torn up my arm many peoples arm that try to throw like me they alwayz end up hurting themsleves but my arm alwayz feels perfect nothing goes wrong but idk
just like tebow ?
@OhDallasWon Haha, nice I thought it was Norv.
I bet that release at the end wasn't a spiral!
yes u dont have ur whole hand pressed on the ball u want some space between ur palm and the football
There are many different grips for football. This is just a basic grip that many qbs use.
im 14 i throw the ball 70 yarrds..
im 6'2, 275 lbs anyone think i can be a good QB? oh and i run the 40 in 4 flat
It s never too late to start.

"pronate".. word of the day
140 is average weight where I live.
PS We're number 2 in our state
you can really teach someone body how to throw a football except how to hold it and what not you either good or your bad.
Being #2 in north dakota is no big deal.
Watching where your hand is out of the corner of your eye before you release the ball is something you can do just to practice with accuracy, but not something that's necessary to do all the time.
And yes, you DO point your lead foot at the receiver so as to lean in that direction following through the motion. Go read some articles and books - written by very credible sources, including Tom Bass who has coached in the NFL - then come back and make another moronic comment.
yo that number is alex smith of the 49ers

Tebow's problem is deciding who to throw to not how to throw.
@ArnazAdigunaK Yea people won't scout a team too much with a name like "Deimon Devil Bats," lol.
@OhDallasWon I thought it was Norv at first. lol
I hate when people watch these videos and say that the things there doing is incorrect...why watch the video if you know how to do it in the first place?
@OhDallasWon lmao u mean thats not norv?????
wyoming*
Guy looks like norv turner
Check out this kid named Caleb Strohmenger - QB 15
that looks like norv turner
The #1 thing to being a good quarterback not matter what is .......... BE CONFIDENT
...WTF does 'pronate' mean?
@rymcd14 to throw the ball..its a habit for some adults who think they are smart..
@trickers13 Its great coaches that make great players you think the players you see today just showed up at the park and got spotted by talent scouts? They were built into champions and contenders by being taught the fundamentals and then being given the time to adapt to their own ability.......to say this guy did nothing with his life is just plain wrong, everyone who loves football has the dream your uncle lived out but unfortunantly not everyone can follow that same pathway

every 11 year old says there 14 when asked on the internet expecially youtube and runescape lol
too bad I'm not from north dakota lol
he never throwed a ball himself for sure
your new to football? what spot u going for? ,message back :\
I'd rather just hand it off to Adrian Peterson and watch him run.
football is a game you play with your foot , no ?
@algerhistogram just replayed it like 20 times :P click, click, click xDD
@algerhistogram LOL
You need michael Jordan hands to throw it like that lol.
nope
@dabackyardigan are yu drunk????
lol, the kid has no leg hair
you point your hip man not your foot.
@SUPERPREMIUN98 no wonder your uncle doesn't know anything about football, he's a hockey player lol
