Quote:The whole "blaming INTs" game gets the run-down every year regarding QBs that struggle.  It's a game that solves  very little IMO. 

 

Every QB has "missed picks" and every QB has unfortunate tips go the other way. Sometimes one or two guys are especially lucky in the former or unlucky in the latter. 

 

With our boy Blake, there's simply no need to dig so deep.  Simply watching his performance on the field tells you all you need to know. 

He has big time accuracy issues due to poor footwork and technique.  

 

• Fix the mechanics as much as you can.
  
• Then let Hackett scheme away some dangerous throws to mitigate weaknesses.
  
• Then watch the INT rate take a significant drop. 
  

 

It either works enough to win or it doesn't. 

 

Blake's INT rate has dropped every year that he has been in the league.  Last year it was between Eli Manning and Ben Roethlisberger's.  If you just knocked Blake's tipped INTs down last year to 3, which is still more than the average quarterback suffers through, then his INT rate is actually very good.  His theoretical season would have been similar to Russell Wilson's and Matt Stafford's.
