Yep - he's left handed. Interestingly enough, if he does not work out at QB, he has experience at safety.

It's almost certain that his left handedness played a role in him being over looked by some bigger programs, but he should be solid for Tulane.

Thanks. I agree. A lefty running our offense may get confusing for all involved.

On passing the ball has an opposite spin and rotation. Rushing he’d probably favor a left pitch.
I would think the offense would shift to favor a lefty pitching and passing. Meaning instead of mostly running the option right they’d probably want to run more left side etc.

what a bunch of BS, sounds like my old High school Coach Bob Whitman !!!...any QB with any type of "Option Coaching" learns to pitch the ball with either hand !!!...I don't buy the passing spin bull krap either....you have all summer, spring and fall practice to catch the damn ball !!!

Of course it makes a difference. It's not that big a deal if the QB is your starter from camp through the season but if you are changing back and forth, it matters. Roll out passing options are certainly going to be geared more toward the throwing arm side. It also matters with regard to which side is the QB blind side. Maybe your old high school coach is smarter than you think.

tpstulane wrote:I was a ball boy for the Saints off and on as a kid. I did a season when Bobby Douglass was playing (lefty) QB. All of the receivers hated the way the ball came off of his hand. The ball would tail off opposite of what Archie threw. His handoffs were given left handed and so that needed adjusting for the RB’s. Just saying. I guess if you stay with a lefty all the time it can work out like Duhon. But if not it can be confusing to WR’s and RB’s.

Part of the decline of left handed QB’s, Christensen is convinced, can be traced to wide receivers, the particular playmakers who like passes to settle into their hands with few complications. Yet lefty quarterbacks deliver a ball that spins differently than most receivers are accustomed to seeing.

Suddenly, rapport becomes harder to build.

"I truly believe the receivers drove the train in this whole deal," Christensen theorizes. "At the top, big-money receivers got more of a voice. And it filtered down to college, then down to high school and down below that."

Typically, when a right-handed quarterback throws the ball, the ball spins right to left,” Carter said. “Anytime I am running a route to my left, the ball will be spinning in toward me. When I am running to the right, the ball is spinning away from me. That might not sound like much, but when you get every step of your routes down to the inch, like [we] perfectionists do, it makes an extreme difference.”

Joked Wayne, “I am definitely not complaining I didn’t play with many lefties, trust me. Not only does the ball turn differently, but it affects the deep ball. [A right-handed QB], his pass turns inside; a lefty, it turns the other way. That’s a lot harder of a catch, especially for guys who are not as used to seeing that.”
