I direct you back to the Drew Brees sports science.
That guy's ability to replicate his delivery down to the millimeter throw after throw after throw is one of the most incredible things I've ever seen. The release angle out of his hand, the rpms on the throws - everything was just clockwork.
I'd imagine you'll see the same with all the truly great pure passers. Rodgers won't have that because he's from that Tarkenton, Young, Gannon school of ugly but effective.
Nick Foles ain't gonna be from that school, no matter how many gifs you see of him running about. There's innate athleticism in guys like that that Foles doesn't have. I mean shit, Clay's first gif shows him awkwardly flipping over his own head and losing the football. The guy isn't the natural athlete that you need to be to succeed with erratic mechanics.
