Manuel Worked With Steve DeBerg On His Throwing Motion

[Night Train]

Interesting. Said he went to Tampa in January and worked with DeBerg on his throwing motion (which was bad, IMO). I hope setting his feet correctly was also part of the education.

DeBerg played QB in the NFL for an incredible 21 years. Cement shoes guy but had a perfect looking throwing motion. We'll see if it pays dividends when the bullets start flying.

At least he's working at getting better and realizes this is it. I believe he took his starting status as a given until he was yanked last October. Sounds like he's wide awake now and putting in the work.

We'll see.

Steve DeBerg....the Ultimate journeyman.

NFLN needs to do a top ten just on the teams he's been on.

Re: Manuel Worked With Steve DeBerg On His Throwing Motion

Was it more than a lunch, perhaps a dinner and movie , or was real work done? How long was he there? Did he work for a week or just a morning before going to Busch Gardens?

DeBerg played at a time it was a strength to stand in the pocket, not a hinderence.

Guys that moved around at that time were said to have "happy feet" & that was not a compliment.

I enjoyed watching him play on some terrible Bucs teams.

Steve DeBerg had a funny throwing motion.

And, meanwhile, Geno Smith is working out with Tom Brady's guy.

Re: Manuel Worked With Steve DeBerg On His Throwing Motion

Serious question, but when was the last time a QB at this level working on this throwing motion improved his play? Not even sure it's that successful at the collegiate level. Feels like once you get to college, your throwing motion is pretty well set.

Either way, it's a positive that he's trying, hope he carries over to the field.

You don't last 21 years in the NFL unless you throw the ball well.

Ryan Fitzpatrick is currently the other player in that competition, although the Jets have indicated their desire to make another addition at the position. Smith evaded a question about Marcus Mariota being that addition and added that he was looking to Fitzpatrick as a teacher thanks to Fitzpatrick’s “better understanding” of the offense


Fitzpatrick will be limited in offseason work as he recovers from a broken leg, which gives Smith an early opportunity to put his best foot forward in an attempt to grab the starting job. Along with the financial benefits just for showing up, that makes for plenty of motivation for Smith this offseason.

This is Smith's last chance. If you get benched for Mark Sanchez, Mike Vick, and Ryan Fitzpatrick, that's a TKO. You are out of the league by rule.

I guess it's something. I'd have felt better though to hear he was hanging out with Kurt Warner and Colin Kaepernick.
