What I see him struggling with I don't think will improve. Which I've stated before we even knew who the new QB will be. What I will give him credit for he is better from the head up than I was anticipating.
His accuracy as I've stated i don't think will improve. IMO you've either got it or you don't. His penchant for looking for big plays instead of taking (and hitting) layups I'm willing to live with. That's the hand you're usually dealt with mobile QBs.
I am viewing him as his own QB. My expectations are just lower than yours or others.
Why can't it improve? Accuracy is based on timing and footwork. Those are absolutely two things that he CAN improve on. Accuracy is a learned trait not something your born with. Totally disagree
Everything a person can practice can improve. That is quite literally the purpose of practicing. To believe a person can perform an act over and over and over again, but never improve shows a fundamental lack of understanding.
Even if you practice something constantly, eventually you will cap at your natural limit. Most NFL QBs, especially after a few years in the league, either have their habits ingrained to the point where it's difficult to undo or change or they've hit the ceiling of their natural ability and 1000s of additional reps might only produce minimal improvement, if any. Lance's lack of experience is both a blessing and a curse, because obviously it sucks that he isn't already a more refined product, but it also means he still has a lot of room for growth. With him being only 22 and without a ton of reps in his career, it doesn't seem that unbelievable that he could improve his accuracy by a significant degree as he refines his mechanics.
