[QUOTE="Cal2GreenBay, post: 106545, member: 682"] Aaron's delivery is designed to have a quick release. He was not knocked by the pro scouts for a slow release. He was lauded for having the quickest release and strongest arm of his draft. The knock on him was his coach....Jeff Tedford. They were knockign him, because he brought in so many no.1 pick QBs and they haven't panned out in the NFL so to speak. Let's see... How that argument works. 1)David Carr - still improving and could still become a start 2)Trent Dilfer - won a superbowl 3)Joey Harrington - not a star, but a serviceable backup 4)Billy Volek - not a star, but a serviceable back up 5)Kyle Boller - not a star, but young enough to still become a starter the only really bad result of his QBs was Akili Smith who laid an egg after having a big contract in Cincinnatti. The knock on TEDFORD is a glass half/empty, half/full thing. People knocked his coach because he brought in so many QBs to the pros who aren't stars. He also is the ONLY coach who's BROUGHT IN SO MANY QBs INTO THE NFL..... His track record of bringing QBs into the NFL in unmatched. AARON RODGERS is his prized pupil Aaron embodies everything Tedford preaches. 1)Flawless footwork/mechanics..perfect timing(which Mike Mccarthy loves about Aaron 2)High Ball carry called the "On the shelf" throwing motion. (Mike McCarthy and Jeff Tedford spoke about this at length at Aaron's pre-draft workout and McCarthy has no problem witH IT). The shelf motion is designed to keep the ball at the optimum throwing position and to eliminate windup and be able to throw a consistent quick release ball..totally designed for west coast offense qbs. Aaron's the only pupil of Tedford who has totally embodied his philosophy to the tee. The NFL scouts saw Aaron's strong arm and how he could hoist 50 yd passes almost effortlessly and even one workout..he got to throw to Jerry Rice when Jon Gruden worked him out (Gruden invited Rice). Rice lauded Aaron and how easy he made the long passes look and how accurate he was. McCarthy himself called Aaron a "gifted passer" (quoted by Rich Gannon in the NFL network) He wanted Aaron in San Francisco, but was overruled by Mike Nolan/John YOrk of the 49ers who wanted Alex Smith because they didn't want to be seen as CHEAP by the San Francisco media (Alex wanted 60 million, and Aaron was asking for 40). Alex is in the gutter in San Francisco and is back to his interception throwing ways. Alex's 40 yard plus balls flutter and are prone to interception. You'll see GB TOTALLY got the better end of the deal. So going back to the throwing motion... The off the shelf throwing motion enables a quick release and high ball carry to eliminate throwing errors, make it consistent. (If you haven't noticed..I'm a former CAL player and have some inside info on Tedford) [/QUOTE]
