Fitz's accuracy charting higher

[Skooby]

“There’s been a big difference for me in my confidence level and actually charting the throws and seeing the percentage of throws that are on the money and percentage of throws that are being completed,” said Fitzpatrick. ”There’s been a nice increase over the course of the offseason.

Re: Fitz's accuracy charting higher

There is some concern to be had with Fitz's mechanical adjustments this year. Sometimes QB's who are cerebral can over think when you try and change them after so many years. Its good to hear that its mostly lower body stuff because that can often be repped into muscle memory but sometimes it can make a player over think for a bit.

Example; Tiger Woods golf game prior to his two victories this year. His swing looked so mechanical he couldn't hit the ball straight. Smart players tend to overthink changes until they have them down, and some never get them down. Fitz will be one to monitor closesly in camp.

Golf is more of an individual sport but I see where you're going with this. I'd say that any technical training will take months to absorb & if Fitz's thinks he's better, all the power to him.

You're over thinking the over thinking. Knock it off.

Hard not to complete 6 yard passes.

Tiger changes his swing every few years.

I'm not impressed by off-season completion percentage when he's wearing a red jersey with no pads underneath.

So you are saying a STUPID QB can adjust his game better than a SMART QB. Incredible.

Again you don't understand the point.

Yes he does, but it also takes him a very long to adjust it.

You mean applying real world experience and basically saying that it could happen here? Not would or should, but could. Tinkering with a QB's mechanics is usually reserved to younger QB's entering the league or veterans looking for a 2nd or 3rd chance. Not often do you see a successful QB go under a mechanical change. If it works that's fantastic, but just like any change in football there is always a risk especially when tinkering with the QB position.

There's more of a risk not tinkering with it, IMO.

Re: Fitz's accuracy charting higher

the comparison to tiger is valid because despite football being a team sport fitz's adjustments are an individual battle against himself, just like golf

no matter the sport, it a very tough thing to take adjustments like that from practice to live play. but considering fitz's intelligence, dedication, and extreme willingness, i expect we will see considerable improvement in at least reducing his trademark wtf passes. even just that improvement alone could easily bring them several more wins they wouldnt have had otherwise

Because it hasn't been working?

If I did not understand your point, it is because you did not make one. You did say that a cerebral QB can overthink when you try to change them which would imply that a Stupid QB would not do so. Again, incredible. You have no proof of this fantasy of yours. And don't bring Tiger into the conversation, because he is not as cerebral as Fitz and he could be thinking of things other than golf that screwed up his swing.
