This is Cade McNown
This is Josh McCown
There's a one letter difference in their last names.
Donovan McCown?
His dad interviewed for the Texans HC position after being on their roster last season.
Cade or Josh?
The father of the child who’s the title of the thread.
Was being sarcastic because bigbang will always bigbang
Marv. The slightly lesser well known McCown.
I always thought he was Merv.
That’s why he’s slightly lesser well known.
That’s, uh, mesmerizing.
I can't believe that his Dad is still trying to hold on in the NFL as he's almost 42, but then..... Brady. Jeez

McCown is 175 currently, after weighing 160 a year ago. His dad was a late bloomer, and Owen is still growing.

Story I wrote on him today:
247sports.com
Family history with Dorrell played into Owen McCown's decision
Karl Dorrell's history with 18-year NFL veteran Josh McCown, played into Cade McCown's interest in the Buffaloes...

I am not a QB whisperer or QB coach, but it seems that he holds the ball near his navel until he prepares to throw. It seems like a long process to move it up then throw. I'm sure his father's instruction is better than my interpretation but don't most QB's hold the ball near their shoulder before they throw? Kind of like being in the triple threat position in basketball, already prepared to shoot the second you have the ball.

Yeah, that's not great. He does have a pretty quick release despite it, but DCs will preach strip sack in game film til they're blue in face leading up to any games against us. Also this is one throw with a receiver running from the top of the route, so who knows?

Bad comparison but look at Aaron Rodgers motion from college to the NFL. Do what's comfortable is my point. Not everyone has his type of arm though. I just know he used to hold the ball high, till he found out he didn't need to.
I studied and read numerous Aaron Roger's videos and break downs of his mechanics after reading your comment. He actually holds the ball at his chest level for most of his throws. However, he releases the ball from numerous angles, including sidearm from his waist when dumping to a rb.
The video clip I was referring to, was also a dump off to a player coming across, so it may be the same release scenario that Roger's uses. In which case, the comparison you referenced was spot on.
Rodgers came from that Tedford school of holding the ball unnaturally high with the elbow cocked for quick release. Totally different. Rodgers doesn't wind up, he just looks unorthodox at times because he makes throws from angles like a shortstop.
