(Note: This game was inspired by Aikman's recent comments on the topic)
My opinion: Passing accuracy is a quarterback's ability to throw a catchable ball within a receiver's catch radius while avoiding direct interference from a defender.
Let's play a game (shaddup Antonio Banderas!)
Take two or more quarterbacks of your choosing. Write each quarterback's name and include a numbered list of 1 through 9 directly below each name. Example:
Each number coincides with the particular receiving route shown below. For example, #4 for each quarterback's list is the Curl route.
Here is the game's (not practice or warmups) scenario. Imagine it is any down and the offensive line is providing excellent protection but the quarterback must throw the pass to the receiver within a maximum of 4 seconds of the snap.
Using your personal perception of each quarterback's passing accuracy, assign one point for each route the quarterback can routinely throw a catchable pass regardless if the receiver drops the pass. Assign zero for each route the quarterback cannot routinely throw a catchable pass regardless if the receiver drops the pass. Then add the number of points for each individual list and arrive at a total for each quarterback. Example:
Quarterback Z
1. 1
2. 1
3. 0
4. 1
5. 1
6. 0
7. 1
8. 1
9. 0
Total: 6 points
Let's define routinely as throwing more catchable than uncatchable passes. For the purposes of the game, establish 2 or more catchable passes out of a total of 3 total passes thrown to each route as routine. Conversely, 1 or zero catchable passes out of 3 total passes is not routine.
The quarterback with the most points has demonstrated to you how accurate he is by comparison to other quarterbacks based on your own perception.
Please remember one thing. It is only a game.
