Hardcore Bills Fan Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 I love the Chip Kellys on this board. EJ sucks, Taylor is no good. But Petty? Really. He went in the later rounds for a reason.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted May 10, 2015 Author Posted May 10, 2015 Ej left college as the second most accurate QB in ACC history. As a senior he hit on 49% of throws over 20 yards, which is very good. Completion percentage is not accuracy
Kelly the Dog Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 Completion percentage is not accuracy I agree they are not synonymous. But it is a decent indicator as long as you are not dumping the ball off every play and he wasn't. I think EJ needs to be more accurate too. But he can surely throw it accurately. His problem is nerves and reading defenses. If his nerves are helped by experience, confidence, not losing his mechanics because of those two things, he will be much, much more accurate. It's yet to be determined whether confidence and experience will get him to be able to process information quick and efficient enough, which also affects accuracy to some degree.
