I respect the fact that you’re sticking to your thoughts and willing to die on your shield for how you believe QB mechanics should be taught, but you are wrong and I don’t believe you have much experience teaching QBs outside of maybe peewee football. By you disagreeing with what Zach and other QBs are being taught today, you are essentially disagreeing with some of the best QB coaches, mentors, and trainers. Guys like Chris Weinke, etc….
And of course Weinke teaches ball security. Show me one play Zach fumbled a ball on any of his runs due to horrivle ball security. If he did, then I missed it. Regarding footwork, it is the most important part of playing QB, it all starts from the ground up, and being the QB guru you are you know that I’m sure. So yeah every drill starts with footwork. And guess what, even guys like Brady, Allan, or Rogers didn’t start with the best footwork ever. They find ways to improve and spend many hours each day getting better in that aspect of their game. Even after being in the league 10-15 years.
I’ll tell you what. Since you’re still coaching the QB position, if you’d like I will message you my number and I can set up a time where you can come watch a session with Zach and some of the other well known QBs from college and the NFL workout and go through drills. Then when that is over and if that session proves you wrong regarding what is being taught to QBs today and how it’s vastly different from the archaic ways you claim to teach, you go buy one of Zach’s jerseys and wear it every game next year. Deal?
