Accuracy can be refined and improved slightly, but if you don't have the muscle-memory to perfectly replicate your throwing motion every time, you're not going to be an accurate passer. Watch the Drew Brees sports science and you'll see what I mean. Every single time Drew Brees throws the football, his arm does the exact same thing. Meanwhile a guy like Foles does not. His muscle memory isn't that precise. Moreover, even if you do dink with his mechanics, as soon as the shit hits the fan his body will revert back to what it was originally trained to do and he'll end up going to his old mechanics under pressure and turning the ball over. Accuracy is the single most difficult thing to find in a quarterback and it's the the most important innate skill for them to have. Decisionmaking can be taught and pocket awareness can be schemed around. If a quarterback isn't accurate, there's nothing you can do to hide it and there's little you can do to fix it. |

Coming out he was questioned about accuracy and decision making, which is what seemed to plague him last year. I like DJ's examples on these things in using letter scales. Say he's a B- in regards to accuracy. He can get to a B, maybe even a B+, with mechanical overhauls etc. But he just can't get to an A. Now not saying that he's a B-, just using that as a guide. |

But typically accuracy, like with Foles or Tyler Wilson, it's just an inconsistency with their mechanics that they need to tweak. A good QB coach can fix that. |

And no, muscle-memory is a talent, same as quick-twitch musculature and raw arm strength. You either have the physical talent to repeat your delivery or you don't. If you have it, you'd have developed it by your senior year. It's not just taught and history proves that. |

I'm just too jaded, unfortunately. I'm done implicitly trusting anyone. |
Kelly pretty much just put the Foles stuff to rest at the presser, so I think we can move on from that.
If you take him at his word of course. |

He can be a B-/B kind of guy. He will NEVER be an A. I want an A. |

Foles will be great. Possibly better than Geno will ever be. Deal with it, bro. |
