I do throw wobblers every now and then, because I myself am still having trouble learning how to get it just right.
It can be done, however. I've even seen a number of quarterbacks from this area that could throw spirals most of the time. Doesn't mean they're the best, however... I just love the way it looks when the ball is release and just starts spinning round and round perfectly until it reaches its intended target... the smoothness and perfection of it all just bewilders me.

Yeah--I can throw a spiral most of the time. It can be done. But just because a kid that is a consensus #1 HS QB in the nation doesn't do it EVERY time doesn't mean he isn't the best. You haven't seen him play much in game situations. And I don't care how good you are, you can't throw one EVERY time. even the best maybe out of 100 throws have 90 PERFECT spirals...and that's on a good day. You put your sights way too high when you're judging someone else.
And I asked you not to whine about "making it personal". You do it everytime...why not take it like a man? You won't get far in life portraying yourself as the victim when someone challenges your ideas. Plus, I take it personally that I've actually played this sport you profess such love for...and you make a mockery of it. I'm sure some other people feel the same.
And if you're wrong, which you are 90% of the time, I'm gonna call you on it. So get used to it. You're far from the picture of perfection that you have of yourself in your head, especially when it comes to throwing a football, or talking about it at least. Just remember, when you point the finger at someone, there's 100 more pointing right back at you. Judge lest ye be judged. Live with it--that's life pal.
btw--I saw where you edited that one post to me...what'd you spout your mouth off about that you had to edit out???

Most of the program about Tim Tebow showed him in nothing but game situations.. it showed them playing several teams, and had loads of footage from every game. Most of his throws were extremely accurate (even some sweet bombs), but I just happened to notice that they had quite a wobble to them. I'm not saying he's a bad quarterback, I'm just saying that from the #1 prospect I kind of expected more perfect technique. I understand that nobody is perfect, but you can be pretty darned close to it if you try.

I don't think I'm perfect, I just think that I have what it takes to be good if I were to put myself up to it. Now that it's getting colder and colder, I'm having less and less time to pass football outside. Yes, it sickens me and leaves me with nothing to do but watch ESPN just about all day long since it's about the only channel I can half stand... or at least while I'm not at school. Heck, I even have a football right beside me right now.. haha. Here's a little picture taken by my webcam:

Let them point; let them talk. I'll listen to what they have to say.

I edited it to correct spelling and change around wording to make it easier to read and understand.
Most of the time instead of checking out the "Preview", I just post, and if it doesn't look right, that's what the Edit button is there for.
I didn't say anything else - what you're seeing above is what I originally had to say.

I speak for tons of respected people on this board when I tell you if you don't think you're perfect...then quit acting like you are and that you're mr. know-it-all when it comes to this stuff. You come across as a pompus arrogant a$$.
You're judging the #1 QB in the nation with ONE montage you saw on ESPN. ONE. Not that you went to see the kid play, not that you have sat down and watched him play an entire game on tape, etc...that gives your opinion TONS of credibility. Do you think before you type anyways?

Yes, but then you'll whine, moan, and complain about how they're attacking you if they disagree. That's your modus operandi. Can you get more arrogant? I really don't think so...it's no way to go through life.
And I think others will agree with me that if you don't have something better and more interesting to use that webcam for than to take pictures of your football, then you live a S.A.D life. You're atypical...that's for sure...

Stop it... I'm going to cry.
Go cry and then come back and act like a man...you want all this credit for your opinions, but you can't get any b/c you have zero respect for others, just the way you carry yourself on here I can tell that, AND, I know from talking to other people that go to Coeburn with you. You gotta remember--I'm alumni, and I still know a lot of people...so I know what I've heard about you and the first-hand interaction with you on here...you're arrogant, cocky, and a know-it-all that has no substance to back any of that up.
The only reason I waste time on you is b/c you detract from the fun on this board and the intelligent sports discussions we have on here for the most part. You've fallen short and far from perfect on being a part of this community.
You say that you know how I am by talking to people from Coeburn about me...
You don't even know who I am, man. I'm not the crazy guy on this forum. I'm a quiet, gentle person that hardly says much. I'm not a showoff, and I have respect for others around me.
Who exactly said these things about me? I'd like to know their name(s). P.M. me if you have to.
You don't deserve to know. I told you in the past if you actually wanted to ball up and meet me and show your "true self" then you could come to a Coeburn basketball game. I'll be there to see the PV/Coeburn game tomorrow night...near the Crazies. I won't be hard to find. No threats there, just want to let you know exactly who you're dealing with when you're thinking I'm stupid and making assumptions about what I have to say. I think if you'd meet me then you'd better understand what I'm trying to say about everything. If you want to, that's fine...no pressure. If not, then it's your loss.
I don't come to basketball games.
Next year, when football season is back in full swing, I may come to one or two games. I'll see what you have to say then.

Cop out.
You also once told me you were all about knowledge too. Why not actually go and watch a HS basketball game? Esp. at Coeburn it's a great atmosphere, and you'd gain some knowledge about basketball, plus you'd gain knowledge about who I am and what I mean. It takes as much "social courage" to go to a basketball game as a football game. Why not go?
It's really simple...come on down. Say hello. Meet me. Catch the game...no pressure involved. Enjoy yourself. Either that or cop out and say "I don't watch basketball games".
