Browns making all their qbs watch this on a loop
Their quarterbacks can throw, but they get injured lot and sometimes have less enthusiasm about playing if the team loses a lot.
Show this to Tim Tebow
Cool. I was going to mention Tim but you beat me to it, Karen! Your line was better, anyway.
hahahaha!!!
"On a loop" :)
I really loved that 5 seconds of physics at the end
We got smart enough to ask the princeton guy that coaches and threw in the NFL but not enough to ask any physicist until we have only 5 seconds left.
@@0Clewi0 For real.
He holds the world record for longest paper airplane throw
and he isnt even smart enough to know its called centripetal force, not centrifugal..?
Yea that was pretty decent ravioli boy
Drew Brees once got mugged by a gang in New Orleans and only had a football to defend himself.
He killed 7 people that day with his tight spirals.
James Burgess would of been better if it was funny
Almighty load lmao
It would be funnier if it was Atlanta, but I still snickered
🐐🐐
James Burgess the almighty breesus
“Tom can throw it... That guy in New England.”
Victor Nguyen now that guy in tampa bay
im legit your father please don’t talk about that
I’m cool with cam
@MUFC And still MUFC will be bad
Oh that one
Damn i want to throw passes outside now...
I can never play catch cause nobody has the same arm strength as me
@@teamwrld965 just hold back a bit
@@teamwrld965 I just have no friends.
No one to throw it to :(
@@zacharyholtzlider1321 Hello darkness my old friend
When Rex Ryan said he doesn't know how to throw a spiral is his offensive coaching ability in a nut shell
Haynesworth92 Lmaoooooo
Rex "i used to be able to throw a pigskin a quarter mile" Ryan
Rex "Uncle Rico" Ryan 😂
Carlo Alberto I
Shame he can't coach.
“By the way can I see your feet?”
440 yards
That’s sums up Brady. Rarely chaos, mostly grace. ..... not easy.
Warren Moon still has the greatest spiral i've ever seen.
Prettiest spiral I have ever seen goes to Moon. Didn't see the tip of the ball move at all, just the laces spinning around.
It was overhand motion that he had. He created a lot of rotation with that throw.
Jon .Molina I find it interesting how different throwing motions create different spirals. Aaron Rodgers has a particular motion where he rotates his body rather than leaning into his throws, and it creates a pretty spiral as well with a ton of spin in it
@@bar0nv0nstrubel57 weird u say that because I always found his body rotation to be odd but whatever gets the dub.
@@danielcaskey Two years ago when I made the comment he had a lot more juice when he rotated his hips, nowadays it seems like he uses a lot more pure arm and because of that I think he's lost that old rotation. He still doesn't step into his throws but it hurts him a little more than it used to.
Troy Aikmans Release at 1:49 was a thing of beauty
Michael Vick threw some beautiful spirals back in his Philadelphia days.
Sorry pal but Vick did not have a classic throwing motion. Vick had a whippy delivery, more like a shortstop. If you want to see perfect mechanics like you would teach a kid check out Brady, Aikman and Sam Bradford. (Yeah, I know Bradford wasn't in the conversation with those guys but his delivery was perfect. There was a reason he was the 1st pick in the draft. He just couldn't stay healthy. He did set the single season pass completion % record one year only to have Brees take it back the next year.)
All I know is, it's a true thing of beauty when you see the perfect spiral and it's timed so perfectly that the receiver doesn't need to make any adjustments. (That 40 yard beauty right down the sideline, the same on a deep post route, and of course the back corner of the end zone.) A thing of beauty!
I like when they spin it too.
Mad I didn't see Drew Brees in any of the cuts. His play in game and his video with Sport Science hitting the targets made me find beauty and appreciation for the QB game.
Brian Lac The QB game is the best.
Drew Brees has a little bit of wobble in his throws. In theory (from sports science) this is one of the reasons why he is very accurate
Err, what? The less wobble the ball has, the more stable it is.
More rotations = More stability.
Less rotations = Less stability.
Mike Vick has a cannonball spiral
Tobias Bostic thank you
Man, for real. Everybody talks about Vick's legs but I don't remember of a pass of his that wasn't a tight spiral. Mechanics-wise, he was the best left-handed thrower.
I'm surprised he didn't come up in this video. He ball doesn't travel as fast as some other QB's but i swear he charges the ball up in his hands or something cause that thing rotates like a mother and it leaves his hand perfectly
I was gonna say if someone else didn't. He threw that thing on a rope.
Tobias Bostic YES! THAT GUY HAD ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SPIRALS!
Rodger's accuracy is absolutely mind blowing. Easily the most accurate passer in NFL history. He isn't the best QB all time, but there is no one even in his league of accuracy.
Justin Madison except for maybe Brees. you know, the guy with the NFL record for completion percentage.
I wouldn't say the most accurate, that'd probably go to Drew Brees, but in terms of a combination of accuracy, arm strength, mobility, playmaking ability, pocket awareness, and just overall on-field smarts, I would argue that Rodgers IS the best of all time. I think if you were to take all the traits that you'd want to see in a QB, stuffed them all together, you'd get Aaron Rodgers.
Even as a huge Drew Brees and Saints fan, gotta agree with Mike Smithmyer. Where Brees definitely edges out Rodgers in passing, Rodgers is league ahead of Brees in mobility.
PirateOfPlayTime Yeeeeaaa booooy. For real though I love Brees and Rodgers. Rodgers may be more talented overall, but Brees is the only QB I see as equal to Dan Marino in pure pocket passing. It's a travesty more people don't recognize how amazing Brees is.
Justin Madison u must have cheese in your eyes
Out of all the coaches in there no one mentioned Aaron Rodgers. You got to be kidding me
Wes Hill yeah they were to upset because aaron always hands the L to em
Wes Hill
Well just watch the damn video and u can see that Rodgers didn’t throw a single spiral
u wot m8?
All of the throws from rodgers are extremely tight, fast-rotating spirals.
Go watch the TD pass he throws when he tweaks his hamstring. Throws it sidearm about 4 yards and still manages to keep the nose straight and stable.
Even then everybody hated him.
When it comes to perfect spirals Rodgers & Brees are the best.
Ever seen Warren Moon's spiral?
Wilson: Am I a joke to you
LJ8
I've never seen someone throw as tight a pass as Mahomes and it's not even close guys
@@alexfitzpatrick1527 Brady? Lamar Jackson?
Peyton manning was the greatest qb who couldn't spin it.
0 subscribers With 0 videos challenge because he was so smart

To me Manning is the perfect example of how being smart can make up for lack of talent. Not saying he wasn't talented, but he made up for what he lacked by being a smart player.
He threw consistently eggs
J g I think your right he wasn't that talented just a nerd
Rodgers throws the prettiest balls
brady better
Daniel Chachanashvili he has great arm as well
Daniel Chachanashvili says the Packers fan...
"prettiest balls..." gayest comment on CZcams...
everyone knows drew and rodgers have some of the best accuracy in the league
Mike Vick's throwing motion is a thing of beauty
His running motion >>>>>
Sorry pal but Vick did not have a classic throwing motion. Vick had a whippy delivery, more like a shortstop. If you want to see perfect mechanics like you would teach a kid check out Brady, Aikman and Sam Bradford. (Yeah, I know Bradford wasn't in the conversation with those guys but his delivery was perfect. There was a reason he was the 1st pick in the draft. He just couldn't stay healthy.

Warren Moon. King of the perfect spiral.
So glad they mentioned warren moon he used to say how he'd have his fingernails a certain Length must of worked the spirals he threw were fantastic!!!
WOW ! Troy aikman had a cannon by arm!! But I loved the last two explanations, they said everything about the perfect spiral!
Cris Carter says he has seen many great QBs play, even players like Marino, Montana, Elway, and Moon....and has never seen anyone throw the ball like Rodgers. He talks about the flight of Rodgers' footballs, how tight the spirals are, and how he's able to spin the ball. It's no wonder they had Rodgers talk about the art of spiraling the ball in the film.
i love you
-sincerely spencer
As a high school receiver I'd also add that when the spiral is fast when it hits your hands it spaces your fingers out more helping your hand wrap around the ball instead of just plopping in them.
That pass to Rice at 2:10 is right down the pipe... so clean.
Jeff “Tom, that guy from NE” Fisher
that one view of montana throwing it was beautiful
Ya'll really cut off my boi with the PhD at the end when he's trying to drop some knowledge
Jose Fernando Lopez Fernandez straight up
got my notebook out and everything for notes 😂
@@josh2890 😂😂😂
Uncle Rico was a true spinner. He could throw a football over the mountains!
🧒🏈⛰️🥩🚐🎥
@NFL FILMS These feel like the classic episodes of the 90’s. Please keep ‘em comin!
They didn't mention stafford. He's really got a gunslinger
JLAlmeda he really does, it's quite scary too
JLAlmeda Doesn't mean he's got a tight spiral
ChaBoiKyle yes he does
This is from 2010 I believe, in which case they wouldn't have been singing Stafford's praises quite yet.
kz1000ps he still had a good arm but he didn't know how to use it effectively
Please post old nfl films with John Facenda as the narrator.
yes please I so agree with you,
Eh idk I like this new guy
I like the words you speaketh
I always knew some qb's were amazing but hearing that little like zoom from a qb like farve is unbelievable the power he had was unmatched, mostly
I think every QB has their game where they threw pretty spirals but I think Michael Vick had the prettiest spirals cuz every time he threw it, it was tight and perfect
Sorry pal but Vick did not have a classic throwing motion. Vick had a whippy delivery, more like a shortstop. If you want to see perfect mechanics like you would teach a kid check out Brady, Aikman and Sam Bradford. (Yeah, I know Bradford wasn't in the conversation with those guys but his delivery was perfect. There was a reason he was the 1st pick in the draft. He just couldn't stay healthy. He did set the single season pass completion % record one year only to have Brees take it back the next year.)
Good to see all the great coaches and legendary QBs in this video.
I know this is an old video but today, Tom Brady has the prettiest spiral. The ball travels in the air completely oval shape 90% of the time. And it's crazy his draft report says "Doesn't throw a tight spiral".
Drew Brees has the nicest spiral IMO and a very quick release. I also used to love the way Kurt Warner would throw. Super accurate.
I can listen to NFL coaches talk about football, football throws, football games, strategies for days!! Such a great wonderful sport. It's so passionate. Rex Ryan is funny!!
this video is timeless....
3:19 that guy in new england
“That guy from New England”😅💀
Watching it in slow motion just adds to the perfection along with a clean catch for a touchdown.
I’m glad this video is up.
Warren Moon has a WICKED spiral.
Andy Reid mentions McNabb but not Michael Vick? Vick threw some beautiful passes in his career. Especially the long passes to Desean Jackson
Vintage Drums i don't know about that. He had a 🚀 arm. So his deep throws were awesome but short stuff not so much.
Its funny hearing Andy Reed say he's been around some great quarterbacks because this is before he coached Mahomes
I needed this. This is awesome
Warren Moon 100%, end of conversation, end of story - just put him on this video, that's all we need to see.
Vick had a nice one too, specially for a lefty
Jason Garrett just taught me how to throw a spiral. Sweet! :-)
Thechad201 Jason Garrett is a pansy ass
Yo momma
@David Johnson he should give it back
I love these early 2010 videos with commentary, it’s calming
Loll Andy's been around football so long I bet he dreams about it. The way he made that sound the football makes when you send it was Perfect 🤣
I'm glad Warren Moon was mentioned. That guy threw a pretty ball. I mean, he's no Rodgers, but he was good at chucking it.
1:16 this is the most important thing from the video
As an ex-catcher, I can absolutely back up that catching a ball with spin in any direction is way easier than a dead flyer. The way the ball drops is just *not* the same.
I like how you guys left the best for last.
Ask Warren Moon. He's the guy to ask
I would have liked to hear more from the guy at the end.
That little noise (i call the whistle) FAVRE is the KING ! Plus i saw brett and ben throw 83 yds at the pro bowl games ( between 30" cones )
Really loved the video
Rodgers and Stafford has the best spiral in the game today
I'll agree with half of that, Brees and Rodgers have the best arms by far
Brees has the best arm and throw.. Rodgers is close though
Of course Rodgers can hits the best spirals. When your O-line doesn't get called for holding you have all the time in the world to set up for it.
Diamond Forger brees doesn't have a huge arm anymore
Rodgers sacrifices his throw by being able to throw on motion consistently.
Jeff George threw the best spiral I have ever seen. Arm of gold, head of stone.
strongest arm in my book.
Thank you!!!! The spiral had to be tight in order to throw those lazers
Ok you haven't seen warren moon
@@ericthered1140 Oh I've seen Warren Moon. Saw him play as an Oiler in person when I was a kid. He threw a pretty ball. No wobble. Perhaps the most underrated QB of all time. But Jeff George's passes had a certain quality about them like God himself was showing you how pretty a pass could be.
The spin on the ball causes it to not only go through the air faster but as it naturally slowly down it slows down quicker as well. The follow through creates the spin but also guarantees that the ball has the most momentum and economical energy transfer without thinking about wind direction and resistance. But what creates more friction at the same time in the air? The spin. If you were standing in an insane gale what would create more friction on you? Standing still, running into the wind standing straight or spinning violently whilst running into the wind? So just like the backspin in basketball, the turning and it's interaction with the friction of air slows it down to a halt much faster than not spinning. A good spin on a basketball means that if it hits the rim softly it doesn't ricochet away violently. It's the same for being caught by the receiver.
2:09 that throw just gave me butterflies
People forget about Dan Pastorini. Not the most accurate but he threw an incredible deep ball. One of the strongest arms I've ever seen. When he let go a bomb it looked like it was shot out of a cannon.
Warren moon best spiral.
Brett Favre best cannon.
Jeff George had Favre by 30yds bro... The only guy that I've ever saw throw from goal line to goal line
I was watching an NFL QB warming up before a game and was mesmerised, the best I could describe it was a whip in his arm. Seemed to have also a repetitive action with no wasted motion. I have seen it pro golfers and tennis players at elite level. How everything is repetitive and very little wasted movement. I never see or appreciate it on tv.
I like Aaron's intro into the Video... he just starts talking like a legend
Wow they practically skipped over the interesting part that actually answered the question at the very end lol. "Screw the actual physicist, give us the good ole ball coach".
Noone can spin it like Aaron, thats a fact.
Awesome.
The trick pass from Edelman to Amendola was perfect
Aaron Rodgers is the best thrower of the football ever. Period.
brady is better
Michael Liccone nope
Kap is better.
Not better than Marino
Ryan Leaf is clearly the greatest to ever grace a football field.
Troy Aikman had a sexy drop back 1:46.
Korra o ya
The art is one thing I learned by my coach, keep your hands on the laces. (Btw don't get nervous, or you'll throw a duck) and if you end with the flick of the wrist, then it was a good throw
seeing rodgers in 2012 is crazy, got some of the best wrist mobility/finger flexibility on his throws then and now
Fisher? Rams Coach? 🤣
It's simple, I see Aaron Rodgers and I like the video
My coaches told our QBs to point at their target at the end of their throwing motion and that seemed to work pretty well
THE QUARTERBACK SPIRAL THROW IS BEAUTIFUL
Warren Moon had the best
The art of running out of things to say
Brady, Rodgers, brees, and Stafford are the best qbs in the league rn, always have tight spirals and excellent accuracy
As a Packer fan, I've been spoiled watching Favre and Rodgers throw a nice ball. Favre had a cannon for an arm and where other quarterbacks had to put some air under a long pass, Brett threw a frozen rope. I still think Joe Montana threw one of the nicest balls I've seen. I was fortunate to also see Dan Marino play and he made it look so easy. That seems to be the common theme between those who "spin" it vs. those who don't have a tight spiral - it looks effortless.
Michael Vick throws the prettiest spiral.
Hester II thanks
Michael Vick the best dam QB I ever saw. I saw him throw a 170 yard touchdown on 1 leg, with cracked ribs and a stinger in his right hip
He did have a great spiral.
Does anyone know if there has ever been an ambidextrous QB in the NFL who could throw with either hand?
His name is Patrick Mahomes ll
Do u know how long I was trying to look for a video like this
Warren Moon had the prettiest spiral of all time. He spun it like no one else and it was so accurate I swear he could hit a gnat's eye from 50 yards. It's an over exaduration, but you get the point. Before Tom Brady, and eventually my dude Dak Prescott broke the record for most pass attempts without an interception by a rookie. Warren Moon held that record for years.
Jason Garret ----->Every NFC East QB
Hank Hill hwut???
I'll take 2 of whatever youre on.. lmao what are you trying to say
troll alert
Skrek what a epic fail
wtf? i never had problems throwing spirals. the damn ball is designed to fly in such a way.
Awesome
Matt Ryan can really spin it he is just very good, he gets his timing correctly, and he knows when to throw the ball!
Peyton manning had a horrible spiral
After his neck surgery. It was nearly perfect at times when he was a colt
Zachary Sturgeon nerve damage and losing feeling to his hand caused that
Zachary Sturgeon tru dat
Zachary Sturgeon still got there though.
That Broncos ring looks damn good on that numb hand though.
Surprised that they didn't mention Aikman not using the laces on the ball. Ever try throwing a spiral without laces? Not as easy as Troy made it look.
That Montana to Rice pass.... Wow!!!
Marino had a absolute gun!!!! Quickest release in football. He could “spin it”
Who's this Jeff fisher guy
9Snags 7-9
He’s the QB killer
make a nfl film the art of throwing interceptions
Ja Man We will have dial up cutler for that one.
Daniel LeCroy theres 53 guys with more ints
Mariota spins it pretty well. He's got some of the beautiful spins in the game today.
I agree with Rodgers. I was once playing catch with a guy in his 50s who was a QB in high school. He was throwing rockets at me and only his tight spirals made it easier for me to catch.
