Here we go again.

Maybe he was just a little nervous and had the yips. Let's see how he does the rest of the way

Did you not watch the video?

I watched the tape, and strangely, until the last segment, my reaction was "He is consistently throwing high." He was not consistently under throwing on any level.

I do think he lacked zip, but that is one of the few issues that can actually be trained out of you. Get stronger. Use your legs. It's the arm motion issues that worry me, and that looked fine.

Arm strength has never been an issue. The kid can rip it. He’s still the same QB that drops these dimes.

Thank you.

First camp (I'm assuming) since the pandemic. There's the rust factor. Competing against the nation's best, I would have some butterflies if I were in his shoes too.

If the negative performances continue maybe there's cause for concern, but a knee jerk reaction fresh out of a 3+ month shutdown is a bit much.

Yup, agreed. Sucks that he had a less than stellar showing on day 1....let’s see how things go with the rest of the week. Not gonna panic.......... yet.

If I'm being honest I don't have the same excitement about Buchner that I did about PJ. The throwing motion/angle is really concerning to me. It doesn't stand out as much in his game film but in a camp setting it looks so weird. Plus the balls lacked zip and a few came out ducky. I am hoping it's just rust but you would think that would affect all of the other QBs too.

I have lot of faith in him long term but don't agree with the Day 1 starter hype.

I agree it almost looks like he can't grip the ball fully

When you watch highlight films that's exactly what you get...highlights.

C'mon now, his stats for the season are absolutely insane. He is the first Junior to win the San Diego Silver pigskin trophy (best player in San Diego) since Reggie Bush in 2001.

Fixed.

Yeah, I think I'll trust two years of really good game film over one day at a camp event.
