As someone outside the NFL world, I have wondered more and more if it's more of a development problem than a talent IDing issue. Is Sam Darnold just bad or was it just the Jets? There's an opportunity, maybe, for new ways of developing like we've seen in MLB with arms ...
Of course, unlike MLB, you cannot really fix spin efficiency as a football is thrown with 100 percent gyro spin (hopefully) and QBs are naturally more efficient in movement patterns than baseball arm paths due to heavier ball but ...
What Josh Allen did in kind of Driveline-ing his arm path, using tech and data for better feedback to find his most efficient way of throwing is pretty intriguing
If you're worried about Justin Fields' arm path or something like that -- if you don't think you can improve that as an NFL staff that seems kinda short-sighted and, really, kinda pathetic
