Well, I disagree with Aikman here. Taking that quote for face value, Aikman is absolutely wrong. Then again, I believe if Aikman had another chance to say this.. he’d choose another word, like anticipation.
Accuracy most certainly can be taught. Tell a beginner to make a free throw, He prob misses the first attempt. Tell a kid to practice 1k shots, he surely improves his accuracy.
That said.. Yes, hand eye coordination plays a major part in ones development.. what sets folks apart is anticipating the right moment to make the throw. This anticipation is the hardest thing to coach bc it involves the mental makeup of the guy throwing the ball. Coach that all you want.. but it’s the QB that has the timer set to release the ball.
A guy has to be careful about making the type of comments like Troy's. It can oftentimes be improved but the question also comes into best perspective as to how much it can change. There are so many variables that enter into the case of each individual. Sometimes, subtle changes can mean a great deal in improving a QB's accuracy, imho. I think Dak has managed to improve his incrementally each year. I fervently hope that progress continues.
