statistically and anecdotally this is not true.
statistically: QE was accurate on ~65% of his on platform intermediate throws, which is fine, but is not the drew brees-esque âalways puts it on the moneyâ type accuracy you describe. and again, this is on platform. knowing how often he threw the ball off platform would suggest that his overall number is significantly lower.
anecdotally: ewers had xavier worthy, ad mitchell, matthew golden, isaiah bond, jt sanders, gunnar helm, and jordan whittington to throw the ball to, behind a a great o line at that. Texas doesnât mightily struggle to get first downs (forget scoring points) against the likes of a&m, kentucky, vanderbilt, arizona state, etc if ewers was really out there just putting the ball on the money all day to his bevy of nfl wrâs, many of whom thrived in the intermediate area of the field.
61% and 69% catchable balls is not âalways on the moneyâ. especially for a 22 year old third year starter.
