I've played football before, when you throw with your right foot forward all your only using is your arm strength, your not putting any of your weight behind the throw, that's why when quarterbacks are going to throw a hail marry down the field they have there left leg forward in order to put all their weight behind the throw. The only time quarterbacks throw on the run like your pictures is if 300lb linemen are on their @ss and they have to get rid of the ball quickly, maybe if this was an animated statue that moved
it would look better but as for a snap shot of him throwing it was a horrible pose to go with.
look up any training video/site for how to throw a football properly.
Bottom line it's a bad pose, it's not how you natural throw something and that's why people are saying it looks awkward. I swear Spidey976 if I didn't know better I would say your on SS payroll. No matter how bad their statue might turn out your going to defend it.
Hell even lego captain America knows how to throw properly
