While is throwing motion is now near as long as Tebow's, HE DOES drop the ball below his shoulder which elongates his throwing motion.


agreed. I think that is one thing he definitely needs to work on is getting the ball out quicker and to the right spots. He does best on deep or intermediate routes where the defense is spread out and he can throw his reciever open or put the ball where the defense cant get it. He struggles to make the right read sometimes in the redzone. Also, his longer throwing motion doesnt help him at all in the redzone.

He's good at going through his reads. He doesnt lock onto one reciever like a lot of qbs. But in my opinion he doesnt always know where the hole in the defense will be pre-snap. The best QBs have a really good idea what the defense is gonna do before the ball is snapped. With AJ, i think he needs a few seconds to see the play develop before making a decision. If he landed on a team with a really good QB coach he could certainly improve in that area, but if he lands on a team like the Jets, he will struggle.

i also agree that the OL makes him look a lot better. any QB would look better with that much time and protection.

This is where I think he excels at. Atleast as far as making the right decisions when the other team brings pressure. I watched all
Of Bama's games and he only made about 10-15 BAD decisions. The guy can make pre snap reads with the best qbs CFB has to offer right now. If he is a film room junkie like y'all say, he will be ok. I still say he needs a season as a back up to get acclimated to NFL speed but their are only a hand few of qbs that don't.
