Are you just spinning?
Being ‘rotary’ or ‘rotational’ as a QB is a good thing, but all rotation is not created equal.
The magic behind rotary mechanics comes with developing dexterity in the sequence of the lower-upper rotation.

In the first rep of this Elbow Smash teaching drill ashton_pawar does a good job of ‘turning’ but there is little to no dissociation/lag/separation between the turn of his lower body and the turn of his upper body. 
He’s basically just ‘spinning’ on the spot.
As a result there is minimal Spiral Sling Tension generated across the core musculature, which should be the primary power source during efficient rotary throwing mechanics.
In the next two reps Ashton has much more effective sequence/timing. 
The elastic recoil that occurs when the hips turn before the shoulders is like a turbo boost to the arm.
QBs should do everything possible to learn to feel this dissociation and capitalize on it when throwing.
