I’ve lost count of how many times someone has watched @Jacksoncraig08 throw and said, "Why does he throw sidearm like that, that's weird” or "look at his sidearm, bizarre".
And every time, I feel this pull to explain—not to defend him, but to make sure it’s understood.
He’s not out there winging it or developing bad habits.
He’s a rotational quarterback.
What you’re seeing isn’t inconsistency—it’s control.
It’s training. It’s hours and hours of learning how to use his body the right way so he can make every throw, from every angle, when it matters most.
It’s also part of the evolution of the modern quarterback—learning to generate power efficiently through the body, not just the arm, allowing him to make throws without unnecessary strain.
Because the game isn’t perfect.
It’s messy. It’s fast. It’s unpredictable.
And the quarterbacks who can adjust—who can drop their arm angle, throw around pressure, fit balls into tight windows—those are the ones who keep plays alive.
So when you see him change his release…just know—it’s not a weakness.
It’s one of the reasons he’s dangerous.
