I think, fundamentally, he’s one of the best quarterbacks I’ve seen mechanically. Technique-wise, you could put him right up there with anybody. Q: When there’s pressure like that, can it change mechanics? BB: Well, yeah. It’s not like baseball, when you’re standing on the mound and there’s nobody within 90 feet of you.
