Mariota has been struggling with accuracy this year...while ALSO throwing more screen/swing passes than most QBs in college.

 

 

Quote:Even with those four sub 0.60 games, his accuracy is >0.66 for his career and >0.62 for this season. While those numbers don't come close to Bridgewaters 0.72 for 2013, I don't think Mariota's accuracy in those four games is all that damning.

 

Watch all of his cutups like I have. Watch the Colorado game where he throws multiple balls way too low and sailed a bunch of wide open passes.

 

I think most of his accuracy issues have been with his very quick release. He has trouble maintaining his release point because of how quickly he gets rid of the ball. He has had a bunch of screen passes this season where he just turns, fires, and throws it at the shoes.
