Anyone else concerned with Buchner's throwing mechanics....?
Since last year and watching current practice highlights, Buchner has a very low release point and notice that before every time he releases a pass, he "pats" the ball.....coupled with the fact he's only 6'1", I'm afraid he's going to have a more than usual number of blocked passes going forward.

Weis knew a lot about Qb's.
Clausen just let it rip. Quinn would pat the ball quite often. Whatever works.
Spread offenses don't require taller quarterbacks
Most pro-style offenses do best with taller QB's (at least 6' 2") but spread offenses do fine with shorter quarterbacks, where even a 5' 10" Everett Golson could thrive. Ian Book did just fine at 6' 0" (and that was a rather generous measurement).
Buchner's going to be just fine.
No. Leave the dude alone. Slight tweaks here and there are fine but not a rebuild like Purple Puss
would do.
Phillip Rivers did okay with a sidearm delivery

Bernie Kosar was great and he had the ugliest sidearm delivery ever.

Bad as Elaine Dancing.

Mechanics fix cars. Don't make a Jurk out of Tyler. He'll be fine.

With his proclivity for injuries, I figure he will only play a few games this year anyway.

Lousy post. Do better.

It was posted tounge-in-cheek, but……
They have run him with reckless abandon in the past, and running seems to be what differentiates him other QBs on the roster. It is hard to believe he will stay healthy for the majority of the season the way they use him coupled with his injury history.
That's dark, shadowy even.

He's good at throwing shade...

Nope, it is about creating throwing lanes. Even 6'5" QBs have passes batted down without
throwing lanes. His mobility can create some throwing lanes. It may not be easy but can be done. We need good bounces and to move the chains.
No. Nearly every QB in the NFL pats the ball before they throw it. Brady, Rodgers, Stafford
.not concerned at all with his mechanics
I’m not a mechanics guy. A kid can throw or he can’t. Too late in life to evaluate mechanics.

Imagine what they could have accomplished if that was corrected...

There's nothing to correct...You don't correct release...Feet, hips, balance, timing...not release.
QB is too much of feel position to mess with that. It is what it is at this point. Philip Rivers was one of the most prolific QBs ever with a very awkward release. Didn't affect his game...he just was on teams that couldnt get over the hump. Tom Brady's release is slow. Aaron Rodgers release was highly criticized...
His quick release should prevent some of those bats...
I am not concerned at all.
Watch Elway’s film….he did the same thing

Yes, but if it mattered that much wouldn't the coaches have changed it by now.

No. Wait a minute…are you coach Rees?

It’s all about confidence. And Tyler has it. He will be fine.
Pat Mahomes has poor mechanics too.

Same with Manziel and Mayfield, it’s not an issue on Saturdays

Not concerned at all.
At 6'1" he needs to find the open passing lanes anyway. He's not going to be throwing over 6'5" linemen with their hands up. Not on short to intermediate routes anyway. There are pros with ugly mechanics too.
"Patting" the ball is a non-issue too.
Not at the college level, especially with his running abilities
Just let him lose
Let’s let him win not lose
