okay though, I'm sure Tanner will have an amazing senior year and there is zero evidence that might indicate otherwise. Thanks for helping me to see things your way.

This concerns me about Tanner

Bleeding Blue

8/21/18 9:02am

Wow, catastrophic. It doesn't matter as much where the ball is released as it

PhilPete

8/21/18 9:05am

It was noted last year that his release point had changed

Greg Kite's 'stache

8/21/18 9:10am

Maybe, but release point in and of itself means little if he delivers on time

PhilPete

8/21/18 9:12am

The point isn't so much about the pros and cons of the release point

Greg Kite's 'stache

8/21/18 10:22am

Unless it does get past the line of scrimmage

Bleeding Blue

8/21/18 9:15am

There are many QB's at every level who have the dreaded "low" release point. Way

PhilPete

8/21/18 9:30am

Matt Berry? I must have missed the fun

Memmo

8/21/18 9:31am

Dude was hurt a lot but played some good minutes too.

PhilPete

8/21/18 9:33am

Tanner's is exceptionally low. And it does make a difference.

dYrtbYkerYder

8/21/18 10:43am

exactly...see vince young

doctorthunderpants

8/21/18 11:43am

Good point. Even Jaren, small in stature, gets the ball up better

BlueZone

8/21/18 9:06am

Apparently, doesn’t worry the coaching staff too much

2FarGone

8/21/18 9:09am

Is that why a 25 year old Senior has yet to beat out a tru fresh?

Bleeding Blue

8/21/18 9:16am

Wilson is better than anyone expected

2FarGone

8/21/18 9:18am

Due in large part to his mechanics

Bleeding Blue

8/21/18 9:20am

You don't know that. Much more likely it's what's in his head than how he

basman

8/21/18 9:23am

"Due in large part..." interesting.

TheLoneCougar

8/21/18 9:24am

Looks like we found our next QB coach!

GigantorCat

8/21/18 9:29am

Wilson said himself it’s because he graduated early and was able to

Superman21

8/21/18 9:35am

Or if Sr continues slide backward...

FairWeather-L.I.T.S.

8/21/18 9:38am

His release point has nothing to do with that.

FanofBYU

8/21/18 11:55am

You mean the same QB coach who never tried to fix Travis Wilson’s awful throwing

wcj99

8/21/18 11:46pm

i've critical of mangum pretty much ever since he became a QB at BYU, but

smokymountainrain

8/21/18 9:09am

All irrelevant

FairWeather-L.I.T.S.

8/21/18 9:41am

he is trying to needle it through a tight space on those throws. I agree it's

Avery

8/21/18 9:09am

Oh my word. Can the offseason please end sooner?

Six Foot Seven

8/21/18 9:12am

Another problem is...

Coug

8/21/18 9:13am

that isn't necessarily a bad thing - in fact, the ability and patience to stand

smokymountainrain

8/21/18 9:21am

I imagine Hall will have ability to keep play alive with his feet, so can wait

viper

8/21/18 9:26am

In a sample size of the best plays of each from practice

teancum

8/21/18 11:10am

The QB in this video had a low release point, too

Coop

8/21/18 9:14am

Man, I loved that team and season so much.

autonomous

8/21/18 9:30am

Videos that aren't in HD should be banned from the internet.

GigantorCat

8/21/18 9:31am

Such a smooth motion and release, though. Oh, man...that team was driven...

Refugee

8/21/18 10:19am

His mechanics are pretty different from his freshman season.

RdF3

8/21/18 9:14am

I like to see him quickly going through progressions. That's a big positive.

ReggaeCoug

8/21/18 9:20am

IMO, bigger deal is presence in the pocket

bluelands

8/21/18 9:23am

It is concerning to anyone who follows FB

gstodd

8/21/18 9:24am

This is nothing new. He got some QB coaching this summer at QB Elite and they talked abou it too.

Turnpike Lane

8/21/18 9:27am

Everyone said the same thing about Philip Rivers

kapcreations

8/21/18 9:28am

So, you learned from watching the ESPN that a QB should release the ball high?

Heavily MeDeekated

8/21/18 9:30am

You're welcome

Bleeding Blue

8/21/18 12:15pm

Watch Max Hall (winningest BYU QB) and Jo. Beck deliver the ball. Low release pt

TrueBlue58

8/21/18 9:30am

Beck's inconsistent release had the additional problem of the ball sailing

bluelands

8/21/18 9:48am

Same with Phillip Rivers and Matthew Stafford

Odysseus

8/21/18 11:04am

Well at least he's not fat anymore.

Josef K

8/21/18 9:31am

Too many guys obsess about mechanics. It's what's between the ears that matters.

Backcountry

8/21/18 9:35am

Your truth is not welcome here, stormcrow!

FairWeather-L.I.T.S.

8/21/18 9:42am

You need both

Coop

8/21/18 10:18am

Watch Max Hall throw 7 TD passes v. UCLA in 2008: low release point...

TrueBlue58

8/21/18 9:40am

Watch John Beck shred TCU in arguably his best BYU game. Low release point...

TrueBlue58

8/21/18 9:49am

* Not as low as Tanner's.

dYrtbYkerYder

8/21/18 10:53am

It also looks to me like Tanner has lost velocity with his change in mechanics.

dYrtbYkerYder

8/21/18 10:54am

* Not as low as Tanner's.

dYrtbYkerYder

8/21/18 10:53am

He has the release of a Ute QB. that’s funny. Thank Roderick.

Virginia Ute

RE: He has the release of a Ute QB. that’s funny. Thank Roderick.

smokymountainrain

8/21/18 9:48am

He doesnt throw a spiral but if its caught who cares

Y4LYFE

8/21/18 11:06am

Low release point means nothing. Plenty of excellent QB's with low releases.

joesemenoff

8/21/18 11:22am

You guys are funny

shakarocks

8/21/18 11:22am

I'm more concerned that his mechanics have changed over the last two weeks

ColoSpgs

8/21/18 11:35am

The low release point doesn't concern me, but passes batted at the line do...

The Chelsea Dagger

8/21/18 12:02pm

OK, "low" relesease experts, explailn this......

PhilPete

8/21/18 12:24pm

Honestly, I see a fairly big difference.

dYrtbYkerYder

8/21/18 12:27pm

Where? His stroke is unchanged.

PhilPete

8/22/18 2:21pm

Compare 0:18 seconds vs. 2:12. Night and day difference.

dYrtbYkerYder

8/22/18 2:33pm

Also look at 5:12 in the second video.

dYrtbYkerYder

8/22/18 2:36pm

Don't worry, none of these guys know what they are talking about

shakarocks

8/21/18 12:39pm

Actually, I'm referencing similar throws where he has time to set his feet. It's

dYrtbYkerYder

8/21/18 1:10pm

Somebody coached TM to spread out his feet more

These posts are getting so old.

Bleedblue84

8/21/18 1:31pm

What I've heard is that Mangum has regained some velocity this year and that his accuracy is up

Indy Coug

8/21/18 1:57pm

Does "regained some velocity" mean that it's still down from his Freshman year?

dYrtbYkerYder

8/21/18 3:37pm

RE: This concerns me about Tanner

PA_pete

8/21/18 2:32pm

Biggest concern about Tanner: Way too slow to release the ball.

TrueBlue67

8/21/18 4:07pm

Technically, Tanner's achille's heel last year was his actual achille's heel

Yeah, looked a little side armed

CharlottesvilleCoug

8/21/18 4:20pm

I hate his throwing motion. Bad form.

Sooner Cougar

8/21/18 4:21pm

To me Wilson's looks a little higher but it seems like both are "tippable."

WaybackCougar

8/21/18 4:46pm

I like me some Jaren Hall. Kid looks like a baller.

jkccoug

8/21/18 5:43pm

Listen to Smith on 960

playbook

8/21/18 6:17pm

But CBers think that other fans are incapable of making that obvious observation

dYrtbYkerYder

8/21/18 7:55pm

Yep, it’s not just armchair coaches noticing this. Professional ones are too.

ldssdl

8/21/18 8:31pm

Everyone is focused on his release - wrong problem!
