You can see how quick his feet and his release are here. Not just that, but how well he marries his eyes and entire body. He goes from scrambling to setting up a throwing platform and getting the ball out in the blink of an eye.
That was a nice throw, keeping his eyes downfield.
He shows good pocket awareness to slide and shuffle around when needed. Gets the ball out fast. Small sample but he is really comfortable in shotgun spread where the throws are more defined.
I thought this was his best throw in the two starts he made in 2016. Versus a single high safety look, the red and yellow routes look to horizontally stretch the FS.
vs Fire Zone blitz
JG first looks to his right and it gets the FS (blue) moving over.
JG looks to his left. Orange route holds the orange deep 1/3. There's a window to hit the seam, away from the direction the FS has moved. Pressure given up by the left guard so JG has to step forward to avoid the rush.
He keeps his non-throwing shoulder pointed forward so that he remains in a position to throw. Not afraid to step into a throw when a defender is coming.
Ball placed high so the WR has to highpoint. Done to avoid a head on collision with the FS. +24
