Quarterback prospect accuracy

[ukcolt]

That's why you have to watch the tape. You can't go on stats, stats are generally BS, especially in college, where most throws are less than 10 yards down field.

A catch on a throw goes for 10 yards, was caught by the receiver, but he had to slow down to make the catch on his back shoulder, had the throw been in front of the receiver and caught in stride, could have gone for 20 yards or more. This is what accuracy should be based on, not having to have elite receivers to make circus catches. Have you put the ball in the right spot for the receivers you have on your team. The ability of your team mates, their speed etc are things that the QB needs to adjust to and be on the same page, this comes through practice and is what truly separates the elite QB's.

I don't know whether Anthony Richardson's completion percentage is lower, but is based on an overall deeper throw than Levis' who could be all short passes, i haven't watched their tape to be able to evaluate that properly. This is what scouts are paid to do.
