Ian Book vs Alabama 2021 (CFP Semifinal - Rose Bowl Game) - YouTube

A lot of throws off his back foot or throwing open shouldered, this results in inaccuracy and reduced velocity on his throws...

Capable, but not smart scrambler; often runs out of protection into trouble - this will get holding flags thrown vs his offensive linemen...

Very inconsistent, even erratic in his field vision; I've seen better film on him, but he was facing inferior opponents...

Facing a defense like Bama with multiple NFL-caliber players, despite supported by NFL-caliber players, he was ineffective...

Haven't you learned yet? ND can't hang with the big boys, no mater how good the QB is.

Some of those criticisms I agree with - particular the throwing mechanics needing a bit of refinement.

I actually like his scrambling. Unless it's a designed run, he seems to let the play develop and often scrambles at the right time to extend a play, or to salvage a play, a little like Elway. He doesn't scramble randomly like Deshaun Watson or Vick.

Seen a lot of criticisms of him holding the ball, but I view that as a positive. He's being selective and not putting the ball in risky spots, and he's looking for the high percentage completion.

He shows poise and good footwork. Very rarely see him get rattled. He can be trusted. That mental side of the game is underrrated and probably the main reason why he caught my attention.

Most concerning criticism I’ve read is he doesn’t have a strong enough arm. Maybe that is unfair IDK.

They said the same thing about that San Diego QB, Drew Brees.

Might be fixable, he makes a lot of throws open shoulder and/or off his back foot...

He's developed a lot of bad habits...

This is true. Tom House (pitching and QB guru) says that a QB's power comes from their feet and an efficient transference of that energy through the body in stages and through the fingers.

Kind of sounds like a whip transferring energy.

The way it is described it is very much the same. Every pivot point comes into play. Foot, ankle, knee, hip, torso, shoulder, elbow, wrist, knuckles, and finally fingertips.
