QB Drills Armed and Dangerous

This is from my longtime friend - Dan Henning.  Both Dan Marino & Joe Theisman said that Henning was the BEST QB COACH they ever played for:

PASSING TECHNIQUE (USE THE FOLLOWING DRILL TO TEACH):

Start at 10 yards apart and progress (in increments of 5 yards) to 30 yards apart. Throw the ball parallel or straight down a line to enable you to see what your particular ball does in flight. The footwork during this throwing should start with the two feet perpendicular to the line about shoulder width apart. The step should be made forward 12 – 14 inches (measured from heel before to heel after) but the step should laterally rotate the left hip opening up the the body to the target. On this step, the weight should begin to shift from right to left. The hip turning should allow the shoulders to turn - the hip turn begins the centrifugal force; the shoulder turn adds to it. The shoulders before this time should be directly parallel to the line of fire. The shoulders turn around the axis of the body and slightly down to put the throwing shoulder in a point of high release. The right side should be straight from the hip to the elbow. The arm should come as close as reasonably possible to the head as it begins the last phase of the throw. In order to get the most out of the form, the entire arm must straighten upon release in order to impart the force and ultimate direction which centrifugal force creates. To do this, the elbow and wrist must lock out simultaneously. The wrist should be pointed directly toward the target at the finish. The arm should follow thru down and not any further across than the median line of the body. At this point the weight should be centered inside of the left foot.

NOTE:  The ONLY other QB DRILL Dan used was the "Goal Post Drill" (ATTACHED).  The MAJORITY of their work was throwing to their receivers:
