Not sure how I feel about this stuff, I'm sure for small changes, its completely fine. When I read that a team is changing a QB's 'throwing motion' then I'd be worried. I know with rookie QBs, tweaks to mechanics are very normal. As mentioned in the article, a QB's base is everything. Creates max power and best accuracy. A complete clinic in base is watching Peyton Manning: he's like a throwing machine, his base is the platform (waist and below) and above the waist is the throwing mechanism. The same every single time. He's really the archetype for the position from a mechanics standpoint.

Good input here. Its definitely proven that proper mechanics make for a more accurate passer. And with guys like Josh Allen, who really had shit mechanics coming out of college, 'tuneups' are necessary because sometimes these guys revert to old habits or bad mechanics. I love Allen, but he can be a turnover machine at times.
Lots of young QBs in the NFL right now (28 or under).....the league has to love that.
