Read the subject line again and think about it.
In Cust-78, through a fluke of the allocation draft and my weights, I ended up with this guy at QB:
https://cust78.myfootballnow.com/player/230After camp, Sellers has an accuracy rating of 27/37. You would expect a QB with that kind of accuracy to rarely complete a pass, throw a ton of interceptions, and generally stink up the joint. On top of that, my game plan calls for Sellers to throw on >80% of plays through three quarters and all game if not leading after three.
So how how this faster Tim Tebow done through the first five games?
Team record: 5-0
Seller's stat line: 116-249-1776-16-6 (also 15 carries for 102 yards)
Team rank: 1st in Passing Yards Per Game, 1st in Passing TDs per game, 1st in Offensive Yards per Game, 31st in pass completion (I'm not last!)
Sellers has struggled to get to 44%, and he'll probably never get to 50%. (For the record, I prefer my QBs to stay around the 60% mark.) But you can't complain with a 2.66:1 TD:INT ratio.
Two takeaways from all of this are:
1) Accuracy doesn't matter for QBs if you can stand your QB not completing 50% of his passes. Since most QBs with good accuracy struggle with this anyway, it's not really a stretch.
2) More accurate QBs appear to be more prone to INTs than less accurate QBs. This is not a logical stretch. Less accurate QBs when they miss a receiver, they miss WIDE, and usually WIDE of everyone. Your more accurate QB is likely to rifle the pass into double coverage while under pressure giving defenders more chances to pick it off.
Long story short. You can get by just fine with a QB that has relatively no accuracy as long as they have Speed and some of the other QB skills.
