Against UC Davis, prior to the start of the 3rd Quarter, I noticed KJ's long back swing with his throwing arm. David Mills was also warming up and his arm swing was more the prototypical QB style. It was a startling difference and one I imagine will be a topic of media discussion prior to NFL draft (s)

So, you're saying Kevin Hogan was his throwing coach?

I only started attending Stanford games last season so did not watch Hogan play. His throwing technique was similar to KJ's?

Hogan was rather famous in these parts for having a big windup and slow release - which caused many a-comment that at the least this would hurt his draft status and NFL career.

My season tickets are in the corner, however for UC Davis I am was able to move to midfield, behind the Cardinal bench. From that view perspective I could see the length of KJ's arm-back-swing throwing motion. This was interesting to me because while I've watched every game he's played for Stanford, and knew something was a little unusual about his throwing style,  my corner seats and, or, t.v,. viewing did not clarify things as well as did sitting behind the Cardinal bench watching his make warm up throws.
For the 10 or so games he has now played for Stanford I think KJ plays with exceptional energy and passion, his teammates appear to embrace him as a  leader, he seems to have above average vision for looking at multiple receivers, is well skilled at altering the velocity of his passes to suit the particular play etc.... So, KJ at QB is good stuff.
I have no idea what the NFL scouts think of KJ's game. Over the years it seems as though a fairly wide range of QB technique styles have been drafted and played well at the NFL level.
Oregon's  Herbert was a treat to watch Saturday. I can't remember ever seeing a QB who appeared so "tall" behind the line of scrimmage.
He is 6'6", 260 pounds ? I am very curious to learn how the NFL teams value Herbert.
