You can't praise accuracy if you never use it as a weapon.
In a league and game predicated on precision and execution as the foundations of greatness, you can't settle for being "accurate". You have to be able to make precise throws on EVERY play.
It's a game of inches. The inches we need to succeed are all around us.
But you have to be willing to go farther than you did yesterday.
It used to be that 60% accuracy was a measure of elite NFL QBs. Then QBs like Pennington and Brees pushed the bar higher to 65%. Now, we are seeing 70% being the bar and 75% is within relative easy reach.
Dan wowed the league with his quick release and ability to thread the needle. Peyton Manning elevated the cerebral element of the game with his mastery of calling the offense at the LOS and being a field general. Brady's preparation, work ethic and dedication to his craft has set the bar for what excellence looks like as a football life.
But many times, fan reflect on those QBs and their abilities as being "generational" or "once in a lifetime". They are not. They set the bar for future QBs.
When the ceiling becomes the new floor, EVERYONE must adapt.
I don't see Tua's game as close to being where it needs to be for a championship. He needs a LOT of improvement to lead us to a championship. And then once he gets to "elite" status, he needs to push himself farther into another level of himself. If he doesn't constantly evolve and improve, the entire team loses.
As far as this initiative of teaching him to be aggressive, I reflect on one of the best quotes that teaches precision...
Aim small, miss small.
