Nagy on Trubisky: "I never get into mechanics."

[Hawkeye OG]

Idk, I think the days have making your QB throw like a robot are long gone. QBs like Rivers, Rodgers, Mahomes, etc. have all shown that throwing the ball from different angles isn't a big deal, and sometimes can be helpful.

Maybe I'm wrong on this, but I think footwork is more important then throwing motion. Especially if your throwing motion appears to work and you are accurate - see Mahomes. If your throwing motion is dogshit and you can't hit the broad side of a barn, then yeah it could use some work.

WTF? This is the most concerning answer I've ever heard Nagy give. How in the fucking hell do you not talk mechanics with your young QB? How you throw is how you throw? Unreal....

THATS NOT NAGYS JOB! what do you think position coaches are for?? Learn how football works

 

[Sculpt]

Its the spiritual answer. You don't change somebodies mechanics especially at this level. You don't need a professional QB thinking about throwing, something they have excelled at their entire life.

nagy is a guru...he knows you leave some things alone and control what you can. I love his answer.

I don't agree with that. I mean, sure, sometimes you don't mess with a 3rd yr QB's mechanics, but I think sometimes you do. I would with Mich, he throws better when he steps into the throw, is facing the right direction, etc. I think he can absorb tweaks to his mechanics without throwing him off his instincts.

You guys are misinterpreting what he's saying. He was just saying he's not a teacher/prof in a vocational school that focuses on automotive repair.

"Nagy admits he doesn't coach mechanics"

 

[bearmick]

He throws with his fucking foot off the ground. I wouldn't let a friend play darts like that far less a pro QB.

Your dart Nazi ways would never make it as an NFL coach!

“Run as much as you can, just don’t take extra hits,’’ Nagy said. “His legs are a huge weapon for us, so I’m an idiot if I take his legs away because there are a lot of quarterbacks that don’t have his legs. Trust me, go to the 31 other defensive coordinators and ask about how concerned they are about him running the football. It’s a weapon.’’

From this article...

The bold may be true, but ask those same 31 defensive coodinators how concerned they are about him THROWING the football and...?

 

[Midway Fields]

Hopefully, he was just referring to throwing mechanics and not footwork ?‍ .

I get that there are position coaches, but that sounds strange coming from an offensive guru HC whose young starter struggles with accuracy: "How ever you throw, you throw."

I mean, this is probably Mitch's biggest problem...lol.

I don't think it is his biggest problem. His biggest problems in my eyes are the speed of the game, the multiple options in this offense (decision making),his eyes, and Kyle Long. If those can be ameliorated, I believe his accuracy issues will settle somewhat.


*edited to add Long.

the coach isn’t going to stop practice because Mitches footworks were off during a play. That’s why practices are records. So the position coaches can analze and correct a player during their 1 on 1 or positions time.

No but I won't be taking an L and buying shots without making sure my partner's mechanics are in order.

 

[Xuder O'Clam]

If only being a QB was just target practice alone. Trubisky has bigger problems than accuracy. And those problems have an effect on his accuracy. I'm not saying he will break out at some point, or turn the corner, as they say. And we know in hindsight Pace could have made a better choice. I just don't think all is lost yet with Trubisky.

And the Nagy bashing in the past week or so, has been amusing, but dumb.

 

[legendxofxlink]

Mitchs best throw of the season had terrible mechanics behind it and was a dime 40 yards down field.

 

[dennehy]

For me you'd work mechanics in the off season and the preseason, but once the season gets going it's too much to think about. Go play. Like a golfer who's thinking about making a swing rather than hitting a shot. Doesn't work at the highest levels.

 

[WestCoastBearsFan]

Mitch’s biggest issue is he can’t read a fucking defense and go through progressions 30 starts into his career. By the numbers he was decently accurate last season.

 

[TheWinman]

Clearly a lot of you have never played football before. Mechanics is something a QB coach talks about not necessary the head coach all the time

wow, your peewee league had QB coaches! impressive

 

[Camden Cutler]

damn were talking mechanics with mitch now like a certain other bears quarterback?
yeah he's done

 

[CAP BOSO]

So basically just get used to seeing Trubs throw it over people's heads because we aren't working on his footwork or release point that causes this?
