What about confidence intervals

I'm not sure if you're serious about this or if this is sarcasm. If you are serious, I think it's much more apropos to use the "eye test". Does his spiral (or wobble) affect the outcome of play or is aesthetics? All QBs have drops. Some throwers of the football are more efficient at it than others, but more importantly is are they effective as a passer.

It was sarcasm.

Watch sermon do a rashaun woods... have a really good last pre season game which fools the team into giving him a roster spot only for him to return to his role of not good come regular season time

When Sermon did play last season, he averaged 4.1 ypc, had 167 yards and a TD. My concern is his attempts dropped practically to zero the 2nd half of the season even when Mitchell and Wilson were dealing with injuries.

Is CWard going to play this game?

Blah. That's what I figured. Was hoping to see the prized free agent signing play a bit after such good reviews from camp.

KC player to 49ers signings must go through injury before they can play in a season game. Per contract clause.

Kittle didn't even play in the game at AZ. So Trey got one game with him against Houston (and a half against Seattle).

This. We would of won that first game if Kittle played. Also Trent Williams was out in the 4th quarter

I was using the eye test, and to me Trey throws a really ugly ball. In my opinion it doesn't matter unless we're playing in windy conditions. And I think as WR's they'd prefer a tighter spiral. But someone found an old Sports Science episode about spirals versus wobbles and it broke it down to the point that 3 small wobbles per 5 spins of the football netted the most accuracy. But that if the axis of the football was off by 4 degrees or more, that accuracy suffered greatly.

I think many posters here take things WAY too seriously and need to lighten up a bit. It's just something to discuss until we start playing meaningful games and see what Trey can do. Like I've been saying, if he ends up being Peyton Manning (who also threw mostly wobblers), I certainly won't care. But if he ends up being Jimmy (whose wobblers turned into wounded ducks) then we have a problem.

Edit: But yes, my comment today was sarcasm and poking fun at the wobble topic overall (both myself and people who have "argued" with me).
