Specifically, why do QB "guru's" do it?
Case in point: Tyler Buchner. He was an elite 5 star QB, and then some QB coach comes along and changes his motion. It seems like he was doing just fine with his original throwing motion.
I was hoping her college coaches wouldn't change too much of her. She got there for a reason. She was a drop/curve/change pitcher. More Maddux than Johnston for a baseball reference. She gets to college and they try to make her a power pitcher. Rise and inside. She tried to talk to them but they "knew better". Needless to say, she (hopefully) will be pitching at another college this year with a coach who wants to use her skills.
There are plenty of successful athletes with non-conventional methods. Phillip Rivers is one of them. In golf, Jim Furyk has an ugly swing. Both extremely successful. I'm all for letting the kid come in and see what they can do and then "tweak" them rather than break them completely down and rebuild.
make them a viable contributor, others have a kink in their delivery that is still good enough
When Weis recruited Hendrix he was planning to change his delivery
Sometimes guys just have it, so don't mess with it. I'd rather my elite talents to just play and not thjnn about the fundamentals.
An elongated delivery gives dbs a split second to jump routes anticipate throws etc...think Tim tebow..jameis winston and byron leftwich

DB to break on the ball.(this was one of the knocks against Tebow). Otherwise, I think it's nonsense.
