those changes usually take time, and baseball teams have minor league affiliates for that task. A 19 yr old Underwood is like a 1st round baseball draft pick throwing 99 mph but with a 5.00 ERA because he lacks command, and needs 2-3 years at Lakeland, Erie and Toledo before projecting career outcomes and long-term decisions. Football doesnt have those wide parameters. More like another 4-5 weeks with Underwood.

    - Yes, I’m filing footwork under mechanics* - By ny1995 September 7, 2026 at 12:31:00 PM
      - but he has great mechanics when he is in rhythm, they just break down when he has to improvise under pressure - By DoctorD September 7, 2026 at 01:13:47 PM

  - he has always been zippy and accurate with screens and even slants. i feel the intermediate is inconsistent and I don't ever remember him completing one deep pass in stride. his main issue is decision making* - By 6p September 7, 2026 at 11:26:37 AM
    - Your memory is lacking; but I will comment that I think his accuracy from late last year until now has been a step below what he showed early on. - By WOK September 7, 2026 at 12:01:11 PM

      - He made an excellent decision by accepting an over-the-top NIL payday - By gratefultread September 7, 2026 at 12:08:39 PM
  - Agreed. Inconsistent at times, poor footwork, but overall for one game into second season, raw accuracy is a relative strength for him.* - By LewisBullox September 7, 2026 at 11:22:24 AM
  - Agreed. We were marveling at his accuracy after his first college game.* - By Bluebuck September 7, 2026 at 11:21:03 AM
