Film room: The good, the bad, and the ugly of Jimmy Garoppolo part 3, mechanics

What’s the deal with Garoppolo’s mechanics?

A discussion of what Garoppolo does well would not be complete without a discussion of his throwing mechanics. It is my personal view that he has elite mechanics, but that is not the conventional view because he does not throw and set like a traditional pocket passer.

I spoke with quarterback coach and film analyst and contributor for SB Nation College Football and the SB Nation site And the Valley Shook (covering LSU sports), Seth Galina, to get his take on Garoppolo’s mechanics.

To sum it up, Galina believes that “he has elite mechanics” and “some of the best mechanics” he’s ever seen.
