QB prospect accuracy

[AU-panther]

With all of the QB pro days it’s easy to get caught up with who is throwing the ball the furthest or the most completions in shorts and t-shirts so it might be nice to have some actual game time stats to compare these guys with.

We like to talk about elite traits but at the end of the day actually giving your WR a chance to catch the ball might be the most important trait.

Same stat but for 15+ yards since 2019

This doesn’t guarantee Pickett will be good or that Willis will bust but it’s interesting none the less.

Pickett at #6 is it then 

[LinvilleGorge]

Now let's have a look at Pickett's other seasons. You know, when he was barely even mediocre.

“With Jamie Newman now gone, Pickett is in the conversation for the most accurate quarterback in the ACC, as his uncatchable-throw rate on passes thrown past the line of scrimmage was first in the ACC in 2019. His performance under pressure was exceptional this past year, too, as he converted pressure to sacks at the third-lowest rate in the Power 5 while earning a 27th-ranked passing grade under pressure. That said, Pickett failed to crack the top 100 when it came to big-time throw total, so he'll want to change that in 2020.”

Sounds like he was accurate and avoided sacks, but also avoided big time throws in 2019.

40% Malik Willis. fug.

[micnificent28]

Lol this seems greatly skewed.  If he was around 40% no way would be be mentioned as a first rounder... get this out of here.

My boy Carson Strong did THAT and 4186yds 36tds 70%completion on one leg. 

All the hype goes to the other lesser QBs though.

It's all good.

On average, accuracy is one of the traits that translates the best to the NFL.

[GoobyPls]

So some guy working at PFF is determining what’s catchable and what’s uncatchable and making up his own stats. Lol

 

I swear there are like a million of these football analytics websites that contradict each other.

historically yes

Josh Allen has been a bit of an exception, also If I remember some of Herberts accuracy metrics were not the best coming out.  The NFL tends to be a bit of copy cat league, I really think Josh Allen's success helped someone like Trey Lance get drafted as high as we did.   All of a sudden it is in vogue to take the toolsy guy and hope he can improve his accuracy.  That same thought process will probably get Willis drafted a lot higher than he would have in the past.
