Ok so I'm watching the bills round ups on BB.com and I noticed something. Just about every ball Fitz threw was a wobbler. It had plenty of zip on it but I cant help but think when the bullets are flying that the wobbly passes are what's getting him in trouble with timing/accuracy. Thoughts?

If bullets are flying then Fitz has a lot more to worry about than throwing a perfect spiral.

I've noticed that, too. Sometimes it's really really bad.

I tell myself it's because he's still working on his mechanics, and still not throwing/releasing instinctively.

He just needs to get used to the new throwing technique. It takes a while to get used to something when you've been doing something else all along. When a baseball player changes their swing, it takes them a few practices to make contact let alone hitting a home run.

You guys are watching a highlight real of the big plays.  Yes some of them are wobblers on big gainers.  who knows what the rest of it looks like.    Give it time.

[Wooderson]

Peyton Manning throws his share of wobblers as well...

Weebles wobble. But they don't fall down.

GO BILLS!!!

Not ALL of them were ducks but I can understand concern over seeing it. I did see a couple of tight spirals in there though. I would also think this might have something to do with these new throwing mechanics he has been working on but it is tough to tell because Fitzy has thrown plenty of ugly passes before. I guess at the end of the day, as long as the bad looking throws still end up being completions, I won't complain. I like Fitz a lot so it is easy to find optimism in this for me and I could be way off base. In truth, we are only seeing a sample size of the plays in these videos. For all I know, the others could be better, or much worse...

Beat me to it.

With the reports from the OTA's & yesterday, it sounds like Fitz's accuracy is improving. Chandler & TJ Graham had some good catches yesterday.

[Captain Hindsight]

With longer passes it actually helps to have a little wobble. The ball is on target im not concerned

If QB throws it and TE or WR or RB catch it....idc if it looks like a kickoff....

That's hilarious, the title of the video makes the five seconds of anticipation positively magical.

Me too.  The check down was a little short.

Uh, it's We BILLS wobble but we don't fall down

[MarkinSanDiego]

I think Fitz's hands are small or he doesn't get a good grip of the ball. Many of his errant passes last year seemed to slip out of his hand. So either his hands are small or he doesn't have a firm grip.. You can work on the grip.. can't do much about small hands.. Hope he figures it out.
