- On this episode of Above Average Joe, average guy Clay Skipper has one day to learn how to throw like an NFL quarterback. On average, most NFL quarterbacks are completing only 50% of their passes. Can he rise up in the ranks to throw like reigning MVP Aaron Rodgers or Jalen Hurts? From establishing a base to moving in the pocket, quarterback coach Quincy Avery is here to teach Clay how to refine his pass technique so he can complete a rail shot pass and become a tailgate QB legend.

this has to be one of the best coaches ive seen in my life, he makes teaching movements so easy while also motivating the athlete..... respect
Same!
Bro u couldn’t say it any better💯
czcams.com/video/jku54sklPoY/video.html
He is highly regarded and you see why
Yeah, I can understand everything perfectly
I wish I had Coach Quincy for everything I did in my life. This guy breaks everything down so easily and is insanely encouraging.
i would like him as a laundry coach ...for a friend
Oh man, I couldn't agree more! Makes me wish I'd tried out for football. I'm sure it's rarely ever like this though. haha
@Taylor Wilson29 kingdom come
U mean...a dad?
@@hawnick7234 🤨🤨🤨🤨
What this man did for Jalen Hurts when he transferred to Oklahoma is staggering in and of itself
As a OU fan I can confirm
Hurts transferring greatly benefitted himz
Good coach, gassing up this bum
Hurts made great leaps at OU but he also grew tremendously his last season at bama under Enos.
The saying is in of itself, there’s no and in it
Dude this guy is a great coach. Completely supports the athlete while making critiques that don't belittle the person.
I agree he’s great
Obviously don’t know true mechanics of football. Guy didn’t even teach a proper 3 step drop, and had the guy dropping his arm down while reaching back. This isn’t baseball
@@bamaheadhunter1823 Imagine being this sad that you have to make this comment lmao. Take the L
@@joshlynch5676 how am I taking an L😂just pointed out it’s not proper mechanics
@@bamaheadhunter1823 well it worked didn’t it?
shoutout to this coach tho. easy going but also very firm when it comes to fundamentals. i'm sure he has a different tone with professionals he really breaks down the essentials well. y'all should do one about covering a receiver. i know i've seen too many armchair DB's get upset @ their tv's.
He’s a pro! He coaches the best highschool QBs.
Big facts! I want Oliver Davis III to so that one
seriously, get this guy in front of every kid, respectful, knowledgeable, smiling, Coach Q if you see this, GREAT JOB!
I’m reading all the comments and I’m with everyone, this is the best coach on this series thus far. Amazing energy and approach. This the type of coach that you want to make proud because he will make you believe you are the best.
The baseball swing guy was really good too...this guy has a different energy but I think they might be tied for best in terms of results. But they are both awesome. I've see a lot of coaches in my life and these guys definitely stand out.
Jesus Christ loves you
@@Bones12x2 Jesus Christ loves you
This the kinda guy I would spend hard money to coach me. Super encouraging and knowledgeable in what he’s teaching.
What I've learned in watching just 10mn of this video is that in ANY sport, learning the basics and practicing the basics over and over is what makes the difference between amateurs and professionals...
I didnt know there was so much into throwing a football
I know Malcom's 10,000 hour theory got "debunked" but for any human who is an elite technician (at any job be it athlete or sushi chef) , repetition of foundational mechanics is the basis for mastering any craft. I would say that for anyone to claim themselves to be a professional at something (ie get paid to do it), they probably put in thousands upon thousands of hours of repetition like you said. The process is beautiful!
Brilliant on the basics.
Combination of physical ability as well
that's anything in life - know the basics
I feel like this video coached beyond anything I have ever learned in any organized sport in which I have ever been a participant. Just, wow!
I have coached High School and Middle School track in the past, and this coach just reignited my love for coaching in one video. I am going to try and get back into coaching this year because of his insane positivity and love for the game
Good for you man! Glad you're going to do it!
I'm a first year Varsity basketball coach and I love Coach Q's style!
Coach Q is not only knowledgeable but had a aura about himself that showed big in this video.
the fact you can see this much progression in one day is insane, what a coach
This is a guy that makes everyone around him a better person. His kids are gonna grow up to be some good humans. His patience and encouragement puts a smile on my face.
I was watching this video and was thinking how this is one of the best coaches I’ve seen in my life. Breaks down everything into simple movements and explanations while staying extremely encouraging.
Glad to see everyone in the comments is in agreement.
i can throw most routes pretty easily with 80-90% accuracy but its a whole different story when u have linemen in your face with corners covering your targets and having to throw off balance sometimes
People underestimate how far those throws are too. Hard to dime someone at 20 yards much less 60.
@@mcr2dcr348 Agreed
@@mcr2dcr348 Especially like Luke said, at full speed, 11v11. A lot of people can hit some of those throws in 7 on 7s with no pass rush or lineman in the way and all that open space with man on man coverage. Whole different ball game with guys trying to break you in half, 6'5" 300 lbs men getting pushed back in your face, and a defense that you have to read and react to. All while maintaining that fundamental footwork & balance that Quincy was teaching him. Even in just a throwing competition, you saw this guy revert back to some of his bad habits on many of the throws. For the professionals, it's second nature. That's why it's hilarious when idiots sitting on their couches think they can do better.
And many of the plays are effectively half-blind because of how fast they are. You're pretty much throwing to a spot and expecting a receiver to be there.
@@bigredmachine423 Yes...all of that. And then imagine a 6'5 280 LB Rashan Gary who runs a 4.59 bearing down on you...or a Myles Garrett who's not as big but probably as fast(and better, Gary's combine numbers just stand out) coming for you.
It's insane...
I think out of all these above average joe videos, this guy has to be the best coach.
“Omahaaa” “you not Peyton Manning” 😂
This the guy I'd want to be teaching my kids. One of the best simplified teaching I've seen online. He's a great coach.
Potential video idea: can an average guy throw an MLB caliber pitch? I think it would be cool and informative to go through different pitches (or just a 4 seam fastball), mechanics of a pitch, how pitchers warm up, how to actually locate a pitch, see how your speed and spin rate compares before and after.
they did can an average guy hit a 95mph
Not a chance the average guy is throwing 95
I mean, after Brett Phillips threw those pitches in an actual MLB game, the bar for "MLB Caliber Pitch" went WAY down, so I think the answer is automatically yes. :D
@@imightbebiased9311 you know what you’re right lol
I doubt an average Joe could throw 70mph with anything resembling accuracy, let alone 90+
Coach Quincy just makes me happy
Coach Q has overwhelming positivity! Cool to watch!
Coach Avery obviously has an incredible ability to explain in great detail simple concepts that deliver instant results. THAT my friend is the make of a great trainer/teacher; being able to teach something complicated in a simple manner to even a beginner.
I can see why he's been so successful as a QB coach. He's knowledgeable, patient, and has the ability to connect with people. He's an awesome coach!
This just goes to show you having a great teacher goes a long way in any learning lesson... Q is amazing at what he does 💪🏽
For all the football fans out there that want more Quincy Avery content, watch Elite 11. A show containing the best HS QB’s competing to see who comes out on top as the best QB in their class and MVP of The Opening Nike football camp. Good stuff
And most of those guys turned out pretty good
"On average, most NFL quarterbacks are completing only 50% of their passes."
The last time the NFL's average completion percentage was 50% was 1959.
most TOP qbs complete 55-60% of their passes. if u arent getting close to 60 u wont have a job for long
@@danielbeasley1495 Exactly zero top-QBs are completing between 55-60% of their passes. The AVERAGE completion rate last year league-wide was 65.2%. Of the 34 qualifying QBs last year, just as many completed over 70% as did under 60%. If you aren't completing at least 67% (i.e., 2/3), you are not at top-QB.
It was lower before the West Coast offense
@@danielbeasley1495 no they don’t show me one starting QB with a completion % of 55, 58% is the lowest for any QB regardless if they’re a dual threat, that’s why Tebow didn’t make it in the league, it’s why cam doesn’t have a job rn. 60% is becoming a minimum the TOP QBs sit well above 60%
@@danielbeasley1495 Last season only 3 QB's were under 60%. All other QB's with enough starts were somewhere in the 60% range with three (Rodgers, Watson, Brees) at 70%. Modern passing offense is just more efficient than it used to be so you won't see many guys start most of a season and finish below 60% completion rate.
This coach is absolutely one of the best coaches I've ever seen/heard. Explanations that are easily understood, while explaining high level fundamentals. Crazy good
Quincy,
That was superb teaching and Clay performed like a pro.
This coach is awesome!! Just watching how he interacted with you I learned a lot in how to coach people and keep it fun and encouraging!
GREAT coaching. We need more guys like this teaching our kids. Kudos, Coach Avery!
I have honestly never learned more in 20 minutes on how to throw the football in my life. And I was on a football team (not QB) for 5 years. Guy is a great coach, so analytic yet so positive and easy to understand. Also, heavy dose of reality of how hard it actually is to play QB in the NFL.
The subtle techniques of the coaches in this series are the best parts. The baseball guy that taught him to swing was an absolute genius at being able to express relatively complex body mechanics in super simple ways that could be applied instantly...and this guy does the same thing. Plus he is really good at understanding when to use positive and negative feedback appropriately even when obviously the guy isn't performing like one of his normal clients.
This coach just makes me smile. he should teach coaches how to make material simple and encouraging. Very few people react well to a mental beat down.
This was so amazing and fun to see a REAL MECHANICS COACH do his thing....it's crazy to see how fast he taught/fix/improved his mechanics. Fascinating
The things that coach doing for showing to Joe how important is fundemantals is marvelous. Basic examples such as your hip movement while punching is making everythink so much easier to understand
Such a good insight into how hard it is to be a QB. Great job all around, enjoyed it a lot!
Fundamentals are the easy part. Now you have to learn the play calling, audibles everything involving strategy. Being a qb is insanely difficult
I doubt you've ever played football
@@RandomInternetGuy1011 what makes you say that lmao
Greatjob coach. Hopefully I can follow in your foot steps and become one of the best QB trainers in the world.
That is a great coach, never overly critical...constant encouragement and knows all the nineteen million details and how to teach them as simple habit.
Coach Q, that’s a real coach! So motivating and kept it fun!
This is the kinda coach that makes someone enjoy a sport. Every sport needs someone like him.
Woooo throwing a football is a lot harder and more technical than NFL quaterbacks make it look to be!! Dayyyuummmnn
That's why they're getting paid millions to do
Rodgers and Mahomes are different tho, especially Rodgers. His fundamentals are actually pretty bad, that's how much arm talent he has
This guy seems like an awesome coach. Okay I've never played a sport and no nothing about football, but he just seems so sincerely positive and complimentary.
Great content! Both of the guys were were excellent, especially the coach, for being able see what needs to be improved and for being able to communicate that effectively.
Everybody else said it. I'm going to say it again. This coach is awesome. Made me want to both play again and coach. Gonna keep making that conscious effort to bring this kind of attitude and energy to everything I do. Hope Coach Q knows he's appreciated.
I think everyone can agree that this guy can coach at literally anything with that attitude. So good
Best coach ive ever seen / heard wow !! So intelligent and calm
Love this and I see Coach with the Melo 2s! Very underrated
There are so many elements that make up what a great QB, which is why it’s one of the hardest and most rewarded positions in the sport. Anyone can throw a football but throwing a foot with 300lb men want to crush you and the crowd is yelling..yeaaa
I will go 4/4 no doubt. put me in coach
No shot
Uncle Rico, is that you?
@@cj1099 yesssir
Same
@@JynxzisSon I’ll prove it.
This coach is so freakin good! They need to show this video to every Football players out there , and coaches.
man his explanations and coaching is SO STINKING GOOD
This coach is amazing! I would love working with him 💯
As a 49er fan, I'm glad he's worked with Lance.
That coach was much fun and you can learn a ton! Best combo, having fun, being motivated and learning!
AMAZING COACHING!!!!! TY for this Coach Quincy
this coach is really good! i wish i had a coach like him
That’s a great coach
dude I need Coach Quincy to get me ready for my day.. fantastic coach. get this guy out there
I've seen this before but it came up in my recommendations again and I watched it again. Best coach I've ever seen
I've bever played football in my life and have no frame of reference for anything coaching-related, but it's blatantly clear that Coach Quincy is a spectacular coach by any metric
Coach Q is a deeper voiced Anderson Paak. Dude voice just has a cadence that stays in the ear.
Great Information on footwork and throwing the football. I like watching Coach Quincy's videos.
Coach Q does a great job. Awesome vid!
The reason Coach Q is so good is because he isn’t saying things like “hey throw it that way, hey drop your elbows” he says things like “you’re throwing it that way right?” he’s reminding you that you know what you’re supposed to do and you can do it and showing that he isn’t your superior telling you what to do. Working WITH you because even coaching is a team effort.
The best analysis yet !
I like this coach. He has good energy.
That was fun to watch and learned a lot ! great vid !
I really enjoyed the coach in this video... He is simple and knows how to progress what he has. Amazing to watch.
This was awesome to watch! No wonder elite NFL qbs make the big bucks. It's the most difficult position to play in sports
I’m diggin the Jordan 2’s Coach Quincy is rockin!!!
That’s his Staple. Coaching in vintage Nike swag and Jordan’s.
Really good coach. It's amazing how the small things we take for granted make a huge difference in throwing the ball
Man this Q B coach is freaking awesome!! What a good dude with a good attitude and personality!
He seems like an awesome coach but I wish they would’ve brought a receiver for him the throw to at the end
Love this!!
Coach Q is phenomenal. Mad respect.
14:44 best part of the video. Coaches response to him saying. OMAHA is perfect
This dude is a fantastic coach. No wonder he's worked with big names. So inspirational and efficient.
2 things, dam he looked good, and that coach looks like a great coach!!! He builds confidence!!
This coach is so chill and has such a natural way of reaching you
Hey coach Q, you are a blessing to young athletes all ima say is ... keep Freaking going my boy you are amazing
What a great coach!!
Quincy’s energy is perfect as a coach. Saw another video following Hurts before the draft with Q in it; Eagles should bring him in as an asst. coach or some role. His knowledge, ability to teach and grow men, and his relationship with Hurts could help the organization as a whole. But what do I know… #FLYEAGLESFLY
I *LOVE* this coach!! Dude! This is awesome!!!
Really feeling the coach and his energy!
This guy is an amazing coach. I’d love for him to teach me a thing or two in person
Man I want to be out there throwing passes
Coach Q is unreal. Such a nice guy and knows his craft
Best coach I've seen explaining and teaching wow
Quincy seems like such a great coach; need more like him!
Quincy is obviously an excellent coach!
This is great! There’s so much more little subtleties just in the fundamentals then I would’ve thought, also dude seems like an amazing coach. Lol
Shout out to the coach really shown how it's done
There is this school of throwing, then there is Rodgers and Mahomes! While the latter have all the technical skills, they also have god given athletic ability to make all the throws QB’s aren’t supposed to-so beautiful to watch!
This was good besides throwing on the run the reason why Wilson mahomes and allen and Murray are so good on the run is they are baseball oriented in their throwing motion on the run.
I guess these are kind of fundamentals not everyone has the flexibility and strength to throw like those three do on the run
love this coach, love the interaction
Dude, this video made me smile the whole way through.
Anyone watch real football clips after watching this, with a whole new level of respect?
This guy is surprisingly good for first time.
Coach Q been that man since back when he used to train me, Shon, Josh Dobbs, and all at Saint Pius ✊🏾
Love this coach … positive energy
