Stevo breaks down Reese Poffenbarger tape

[UMFarArcher]

One of his skills is to take advantage of his instincts - and make throws without what the OP calls his 'Platform.'

If anyone wants to neuter that ability - then get a coach to "school" him on being more rigid - follow the prescribed motions and form - drill it relentlessly - and really mess it up.

That's how you kill a quick, instinctive, confident, skilled QB.

Can he help Dawson find the tight ends?

You saw the brick hands Mario started at TE last year. Would you throw to him more?

10-31 0 TD's 1 INt & 0 TD's and 3 INT's against the two best teams they played (Hawaii and South Dakota)

We'll see

Yeah... I ain't moving the goal posts for the kid, but his OL basically gave him no chance in those games. Clearly outclassed. Jit was basically running for his life right after the snap. It's like back in the day when you were playing touch football vs. the neighborhood kids, and they were rushing on the snap, and not counting to "5 Mississippi".

I agree that most of his reel is him running for his life. Looks like the opposing defensive line almost got to the QB as fast as the ball from center. He was always on the run throwing off his back foot but still throwing right on the money. Something Van Dyke could not do well. Would be interesting to see how much more velocity he was when he can throw off the front foot.

Not impressed last night. No improvement since Spring.

He is struggling with the speed of the game. Right now he looks like an NFL QB2 who got no reps at practice all week and was pressed into duty. Now we can see why Williams won the backup job. That being said, we need to portal in a big time QB to keep the momentum until we get a legit HS star into the program.

Portal QB game is risky business. We don't have a choice though.
