On this episode of Above Average Joe, average guy Clay Skipper has one day to learn how to throw like an NFL quarterback. On average, most NFL quarterbacks are completing only 50% of their passes. Can he rise up in the ranks to throw like reigning MVP Aaron Rodgers or Jalen Hurts? From establishing a base to moving in the pocket, quarterback coach Quincy Avery is here to teach Clay how to refine his pass technique so he can complete a rail shot pass and become a tailgate QB legend.

A lot of people can hit some of those throws in 7 on 7s with no pass rush or lineman in the way and all that open space with man on man coverage. Whole different ball game with guys trying to break you in half, 6'5" 300 lbs men getting pushed back in your face, and a defense that you have to read and react to. All while maintaining that fundamental footwork & balance that Quincy was teaching him. Even in just a throwing competition, you saw this guy revert back to some of his bad habits on many of the throws. For the professionals, it's second nature. That's why it's hilarious when idiots sitting on their couches think they can do better.
