How big are Quarterback Z's arms????(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.

You are evil.
Catch radius for a receiver is the endpoint where a pass arrives to the receiver between their hands and body with their arms fully stretched. The center point in the graph above would illustrate the receiver's body and the circle represents the receivers' hands (again arms fully extended). A receiver can adjust their catch radius by jumping, diving, etc. but it is typically the area where the ball arrives via pass as a receiver runs his route.
Well, that's the problem. When Dak threw, the targets refused to move and make the catch. It's not Dak, it's those damn targets!!!!!!I still shake my head at this video every time it is reposted (y'all quit it!
ok,ok, ok, we all agree, Dak is the most accurate dink and dunker ever..... 75% for 160 yards. awesome....yes he is capable,he had a 450 yard game (first in 3 years)...he is awesome...let it go already...trust your eyes(Note: This game was inspired by Aikman's recent comments on the topic)

I must redesign my quarterback accuracy game with that sort of thing in mind. It will give the game a real twist, like the Bankrupt thingy on the Wheel of Fortune spin wheel.
You folks are killing me.
