While you might be able to improve upon it modestly, QBs coming of out college either have accuracy or they don't.
We always hear of the college QB who is poor on accuracy, taken high for other reasons, and then we're told that they'll work on getting him more accurate. Or he's a turnover machine in college (Darnold) but that the NFL will teach him how not to turn it over. I don't buy it.
Wentz will always be limited (even though he'll be a good Q
because of accuracy issues. He had those issues in college.
Allen of Buffalo was terribly inaccurate in college and he'll be inaccurate in the pros.
Give me an accurate QB with just an OK arm to a cannon armed guy who isn't accurate.
Goff has both a very good arm in addition to being accurate, which is exactly what he displayed in college. He has the size to see over the line, the athleticism to move around, and clearly is a smart and football smart guy with a ton of guts. Not a lot of these guys around.
I agree with all of your points.
Allen was drafted high because of his arm strength, size and potential. I think he "wowed" coaches and scouts at his pro day and nfl combine. He showed just enough accuracy during those events to impress. He was able to do that because he'd been practicing throwing the passing routes for most likely weeks up to.
I think a lot of coaches and scouts get deceived during pro days and nfl combine. They get too caught up in measurables and I think ego's interfere as well.
