but i am bashing the media. It seems that in every pro Jay aritcle that is written the writer comments about how accurate he is. In this ariticle for example Norv Turner coments on Jay's accuracy.
"What I look at it is that he won 22 games (including playoffs) in two years," said offensive coordinator Norv Turner, "and there aren't a lot of guys who can say that about their entire careers. Obviously, he's been with good teams, but Jay has a lot going for him: He's a great competitor; he's good under pressure, especially in the fourth quarters of games; he's very calm and seldom gets rattled; he has a quick release; he's athletic; he's smart, and he's very, very accurate. People will say he's not great at any one thing. Well, maybe that's true, but he's good at almost everything."
I have one question for Norv and every member of the media. How can a guy that has thrown 40+ints in 2 seasons(includeing playoffs) be considerd "very, very accurate"? Its not just his ints that tell this tale, but if you have watched Jay you would know that he is far from pin point accuracy. I wouldn't say he has erratic accuarcy, but by no means would anyone say he is "very. very accurate." It just seems to me that since the media sees a smaller qb that doesn't have great arm strength they assume he is a very accurate passer. I think this is a cop out, and very uneducated. The reason Jay has been sucsefull is not his accuracy, but rather his unwavering will to win. He inturn is a great leader because he is the first guy in that huddle that will go the extra mile for the victory. If it takes a ten yard jaunt that is capped off with a huge hit to the nuggen from Kearse, a 15 yard dart down the middle of the feild to a streaking Ward that he didn't have the arm strength to even attempt, or if it means adding 20lbs of muscle mass in the off season to win you know Jay will give it his all, and 9 out of 10 times he will get it done, and the best thing about Jay on the 10th time when he falls short he is the first to take the blame. He doesn't point fingers he wants all the blame, and thats why Jay has been a winner, not his accuracy.
