    Yes, Wills biggest strength is accuracy. With a competent running game and play action our receivers should be able to get more separation and space to work against man and especially against zone. Will should have much bigger windows to throw to, provided we can have a competent run game, which i see no reason that we won't because we ran it very effectively last season.

    They sure as hell won't be rushing 3 and dropping 8 anymore. When we used a RB as a FB to block on run plays it looked great. I expect to see us use the TE as a lead blocker on a lot of running plays with the same results. And with Will's accuracy he will tear man coverage up!

    Right! Will is smart and while he doesn't have a cannon he is extremely accurate and i expect him to have a great year in this offense. Play action will also give us some open looks on deeper patterns that wont require elite arm strength to stick it in a tight window downfield.

    How can a quarterback be considered extremely accurate when a disproportionate amount of his passes are check downs, swing passes, and screen passes? How many quarterbacks would not be extremely accurate throwing like that?

    I'm not talking about completion pct. Will made a ton of throws that weren't the type of passes you just mentioned into extremely tight windows and put them where only our receivers could catch them. That's the throws I'm talking about not the passes you just mentioned.

    The Auburn game 2021 is an example. He hit Polk in double coverage more than once.

    Sounds good on paper. However, Will is also going to have to read different defenses and teams are going to blitz him a lot more.

    He's also going to have to make decisions a lot more quickly and he's a QB that likes to check it down instead of force it- which is not a bad thing.

    Usually these things even themselves out in the long run.
