Phillip Quach glad to hear! Appreciate you man 💯

Glad to hear! Really glad it helped you

An you still can’t throw

@@estabianwalker5015 what?

Saaaame

Agreed, could watch all day

Robert Mosher I personally have to agree with you. Big Drew Brees guy and with the guys that I coach I am always showing Brees film. This might come off wrong but I think he’s one of the least talented QBs in the league when it comes down to pure natural ability. Everything he does is a product of work ethic and playing the position perfect. Which is why I think he goes down as one of the greatest of all time

@@firstdowntraining I agree with you on his being average in talent, when comparing him to other NFL QBs, though very talented compared to us mere mortals. I do think that there is a way to coach throwing mechanics in which he doesn't make opposite Ls. If when they begin their backwards lean to begin engaging the core and bring the ball to the loading phase, the maintain acute angles in both arms an he pushes the ball all the way back with his non throwing hand it will have him make a loop with his throwing shoulder as he begins firing his core and the ball rises it will naturally point to five o'clock and maintain the acute angle. His left arm will follow up until his left hand reaches roughly the top of his right shoulder. In order to bring the ball around to throw it forward the QB must extend his right arm during the hip flexion forward as he is pushing through the ground. This enables his arm to extend up far enough to ensure the elbow is above the eye and the ball is chasing the hips. As his hips move forward his left elbow is driven towards his left foot. This does a few things that I feel are important. It keeps his levers short, maintains balance in his upper limbs, allows his left side abdominal muscles to add more to rotational power, allows for only one moving joint in his throwing arm...his shoulder, keeps him from worrying about his arm level and from forearm extension that slows down the movement and allows him to focus on one short, smooth and continuous loop. Simplifying the upper body movement helps them to be able to work on the lower body movement more and increases their overall speed in the release of the ball, power behind it and as you know a shorter stroke is a more accurate throw. We are probably the pass heaviest high school in the state and we have produced several division one QBs and we have more on the way out. Trying to be humble about the system. However, I don't think I am very far off from what you teach and coach. Wide base, seated into his stance with 60-40 distribution, back foot closed, front toe and hip slightly open. The actual upper body mechanics are a matter of where he is when he gets to you and what you know how to coach and have driven results with. All this is completely different from what I learned growing up.

@@firstdowntraining I know this comment is old, but I completely agree with the talent part of Brees. Dude accomplished what he did through mostly just sheer effort. Imagine if he had the talent of a guy like Rodgers. He might be untouchable in terms of numbers he would’ve put up.

No doubt! I’m really glad you noticed that. It comes down to mainly everything we have discussed in this video so I appreciate the insight

Best lefty to do it

@@firstdowntraining Steve Young?

@@W_L-mb9no Mark Brunell?

@@kevinthomas2906 compared to steve young? No

To bad his accuracy was garbage

Appreciate that man glad it gave you some value 💯

FaithFamilyFootball thank you so much really appreciate it. Glad it gave you value

No problem man! Super glad the video helped

Absolutely if you look up “Phillip rivers throwing mechanics” a video of mine will show and you can check it out!

Appreciate that man! Super glad it gave you some value

No doubt? I enjoy watching him

Appreciate it! Thank you for the feedback I did one on Brett Favre if you want to checkout our QB playlist and I can definitely do one on Bradshaw. Thanks again

No problem man hope this helps!

@@firstdowntraining it did imma be watching this video like every day

No problem man hope it gave you some value 💯

MC Adams I think the answer is both, let me explain. Baker and Tom both drive off the back foot, their weight is on the inside as you can see so that can be taken as “driving” and the pivot is to get their hips into it. In the last Clip you watch Wentz and how he gets his hips into the throw but he doesn’t pivot, it’s more of a comfort thing but everyone does both

@@firstdowntrainingOh ok, I wasnt sure if I needed to emphasize the pivot or just drive hard, but if you say everyone does both, then I'll just keep driving hard off that inside back foot

Appreciate that man thank you very much!

Gio Borges appreciate you man, glad it gave you some value! I appreciate the comment 💯

Hayden Koehler yessir they all throw different but have some key similarities

Yessir! Glad this video could help you out 💯

Awesome to hear man, glad this could help!

appreciate you man thank you!

Appreciate that! Thank you for the support

Jason Houck appreciate the comment man

Kevin Kelly thank you man really appreciate that, glad it gave you some value

Thank you man appreciate you!

Sorry about my long comments everytime. My ole QB⚙️ s in my 🧠 turning knocking of the dust with these videos and questions. 🤣

Appreciate you man! Thanks for the comment

Appreciate that man thank you!

Bertrand Zhu thank you man really appreciate that

@@firstdowntraining Really helped me work on my QB mechanics especially with that Drew Brees breakdown. Personally I think that Baker Mayfield has the best QB mechanics based on the amount of torque and force he can put behind the football.

Bertrand Zhu his mechanics are clean. I don’t think he gets enough credit for them

alex hess if I could re edit the video I would

Nah. He didnt have the best release. Dan Marino did.

Brady is comparable.

Brees has comparable form to Brady. Mahomes has absolutely terrible form. Hes just talented Any kid that trys to copy Mahomes is gonna suck really bad.

No doubt! Could do it all

transcendence 😂appreciate you man

Appreciate you man! Glad it gave you some value

Absolutely man I can definitely do one on him

Thank you, maybe can I send you some videos of me throwing and can you break it down and tell me how I can improve

Antont Tayloe agreed

I will make some!

Try to work on grip strength and don’t open up your front shoulder too soon in the motion try to keep your front hand somewhere by your face or collar bone when you throw

@@firstdowntraining WOW. The grip strength I figured but the bit about my front shoulder COMPLETELY closed my body and let me shoot it. It no longer feels like it's falling out of my hand and now feels like I'm shooting it. Great advice

Appreciate you man! Glad the video gave you some value

David White agreed!

He is the most accurate too

Bradys throwing mechanics is fantastic..i see now why he has been playing so long without injury to his shoulders..he takes a much shorter stride and generating a powerful torque through his hips..thats why he never looks like hes throwing hard..he generates through back leg and hips...its a beautiful thing to watch...

@@vgb1328 This guy knows whats up.

And unlike brees whos mechanics are breaking down brady can still throw 50 and 60 yard ropes...

Ice and make sure you do a proper warm up before you throw. Before I attached a proper rotator cuff warm up we offer www.firstdowntraining.com/online-store/QB-Arm-Care-Advanced-Warm-Up-Routine-p272376084

Yessir hope this video could help!

@@firstdowntraining It Sure did thanks a lot! Hands down best video!!

I personally think Brady- I think there is a science to his motion. Some of the stuff Rodgers does is very hard to teach

@@firstdowntraining thank you

@@firstdowntraining which quarterback do you think has the best throwing motion?

Silky Smooth

I would say it’s a combination of both! Mechanics and developing your leg strength/ core strength for ground force and torque

Will do appreciate the feedback

No doubt!

Agreed!

DEK TRAN will definitely make a video on him

💯💯💯

Trever Gill I can tell you Kylers is a lot quicker. Kylers motion has gotten longer as the season progresses but he is so quick twitch. Tebow did not have that quick twitch.

Yeh , watching the vid I was laughing a bit at the baseball player comments . In my experience , I could always spot a prior baseball player chucking the football . The arms mostly seem to stay low and come back more than the usual football qb

Trever Gill yeah I used to pitch before I played QB and it’s a completely different motion. Appreciate the comments man

Yeah for sure man. Keep up the videos. Love these types

I don’t think he only throws with his arm. Watch a couple of my breakdowns on him. He has a lot mor rotational and ground force than you think

His form is lowkey trash. You cant teach what Mahomes does. He was just born good.

@@ChefofWar33 who's form is lowkey trash?

@@joeysmith5767 Mahomes

@@ChefofWar33 yeah. I just think his weapons make him that good. I mean look at what happens when his weapons suck(The Superbowl)

I agree I like Rodgers

Very clean motion!

💯💯💯

Brees and Rodgers are pretty even

Easily

Fr tho

That would be a great video, I love Tebow too much to hate on him though 😂

@@firstdowntraining Me too. But I have always been mystified by how one of the greatest quarterbacks in college football history was so below average in the NFL simply due to his throwing mechanics. It seemed like such a small, fixable thing. But, then again, I know next to nothing about such things…

lol

Chris Johnson accumulative, 100% agree with you I think all time

First Down Training Tom Brady is the greatest player of all time getting his 7th ring will solidify it

Hamal Green agreed

Love the way he throws

Yessir 💯

definitely one of the quicker releases in the league

💯💯
