Pit-Clev my QB was as bad as usual, completing 50% of his passes with 2 ints, and Baltimore's was dismal, 9 of 31 with 2 ints.
What I think is happening now is that it's at the very least 2/3s (it actually feels more like closer to 100%, except for drops) up to the QB whether a pass is complete or not and QBs passes are all over the place, sometimes they miss by 20 yards and it looks bad, like a crazy roulette game. For aesthetic reasons, I think misses should always be close to the intended receiver.
But what I think really needs to happen is that the importance of coverage should go up compared to QB accuracy, even as the latter goes up, so that incompletes are, say, 50% about defensive competence, because right now, I'm not sure what the role of the defense is except to run around and hope the QB is inaccurate enough. Can't sack him, can't break up passes. Now, this defensive coverage "bonus" -or close coverage along with the ability to break up passes- should be much higher the farther downfield the receivers are, so that shorter passes are more easily completed.
Easier said than done, but that's what I think should happen.
