crazy how so many players get looked over due to so called poor mechanics.

some of the greats have had poor mechanics and were system QB's and scheme RB's

Prime example- Ben Roethlisberger... due got one of the ugliest throwing motions ever but he still get it done

    phillip rivers and VY throw the ball at a weird angle

    andre woodson was a good player but his mechanics were all wrong. his windup was too slow for the nfl

    yeah ben was a 1st rounder but during the events leading up to the draft he got nearly no media coverage and when he was drafted i member they were like "ben roef-what"

    overlooked in 2006 when all the talk was reggie,vince, or matt,then out of nowhere Houston selects marrio williams

    the press wasnt all over Ben's pro day and wonderlic score. wondering how his first autograph signing is goin. they overlooked him to cover Peyton's little brother andf the kid fro Carolina with the pro ready arm
