Buchner at the Elite 11
Was Buchner's performance at the Elite 11 a sign of "Déjà vu" with Jurkovec? I read that he is with a new QB coach guru and that his throwing motion has changed. He lacked precision and threw sidearm, apparently unlike he usually throws. I hope this performance was just a fluke, but he did not shine.

Looks and sounds like he's bought into BK's BS.
Too much thinking and trying to be perfect and not enough "just let me play ball".
Not blaming the kid. He's prolly just trying to please the adults around him who are selling him on what he needs to do to get better.
ND needs to recruit an alpha at QB. Unfortunately, no alpha is going to play for BK given his track record with QB regression and need for subservience.
Why do "gurus" fuck with stuff that has worked so well? I did notice him missing some throws. Leave
him the fuck alone and maybe he still makes those throws.
This drives me crazy. M6 daughter just finished her freshman year as a pitcher at a small
College in Central Florida. She had a great HS and travel ball career. Her spin pitches are her key. The first thing her new pitching coach does is change the way she throws everything. Why recruit a kid on their performances only to break them down and change everything. She finally spoke up this summer to her coach and they agreed to let her go back to her old pitches.
Steve Young used to call in weekly to a sports show in the bay. he spoke
at length about throwing. he said you either can or you can’t. he then said his career almost was wrecked because someone told him to change his motion. he eventually went back to what worked and the rest is history. you just don’t easily change a lifetime of muscle memory. leave the kid alone. if he throws a good ball, who gives a shit.
I recall my college baseball coach immediately changing a swing that prompted him to recruit me. i was like wtf...just let let do what I’ve trained my whole life to do. needless to say, I never played again. lol
Why do you recruit a kid like Jurkovec if you dislike his throwing motion and think you’re going to
...have to change it?
True dat. Total bullshit. Hopes he sets the world on fire at BC.

Re: Buchner at the Elite 11
Funny. Article reads of how well he was doing, while the accompanying video shows him doing poorly

I dont recall his release looking like this previously...looks
Aaron Rodger-esque now. Kinda low, near his cheek, and the ball seems to sail because of that. Like it's rising from his shoulder...I dont recall that in his previous film but having now gone back and looked...it seems that's his motion. NOW...if they're trying to work that out of him because folks didn't like that with AR coming out of HS and Junior College, and Cal...but...honestly...I think time has shown..let dudes throw the way they throw. Worked for Philip Rivers, Aaron, Randall Cunningham, Matt Stafford...on and on. Changing it at this point...why??
