lol dude was like he ABSOLUTELY has an issue. He said that Lance looked almost identical to how he did in the bears game all camp. Overall all camp he was 51% - now I know it's camp and doesn't mean much, but I did find it interesting that it translated into the game. The weather wasn't that bad until the fourth, I REALLY REALLY hope he improves in that this off season. I'd be thrilled
this was part of the Martz complaint. Martz was asked the #1 thing he looks for in a QB and he says accuracy. I think like any skill the more you do it the better you can get, no reason he can't throw a ton this summer and get better.
Was watching a thing on Randy Johnson, different sport of course, but I didn't realize he was a mediocre pitcher early on apparently he couldn't locate worth crap and had to acquire this. This is the kind of skill you can acquire just out on a field throwing the ball around, or with a coach changing your throw mechanics, you don't need regular season play time to work on this. BP was dotting ppl. It's one thing to complete it, it's another to put it right on guys.
I think with Lance it's more of mechanics and experience facing complex defenses. He's never had to. That isn't a knock, just a fact.
personally, I'm more in the school of thought that it's extremely rare for a QB to become very accurate. I've only seen Josh allen do it, which shocked me. He's even regressed to some of his bad habits without Daboll. It's very rare a qb improves on ball placement, accuracy, timing, touch. Etc by a large margin (like Lance needs). I think he can but I think it's more hopeful thinking than possibility.
i feel like it would take A LOT of playing and training to accomplish that, which I don't think Trey has here because of purdy. I could be totally wrong and we move forward with Lance overall but I just don't see that right now. I believe it took allen like 3 seasons, well in his third season. So two seasons of play - which he lost then a playoff game. They had like the best overall roster his second year in the league (minus a top WR).
accuracy is my favorite and important trait, next to clutch gene, and i hate having a QB who struggles with it. Makes me hold my breathe every pass.
