shooting. But, by your definition, he’s be an amazing shooter. One of the best shooters ever.

Just like completing what are essentially glorified handoffs doesn’t make you an accurate thrower regardless of whether you complete 100% of them or not.

The accuracy with which an individual is capable of throwing a football and completion percentage are two completely different things.

  - This is silly. [NT] - GaSubwayIrish - 9:59pm 9/29/22
    - It is a fitting analogy. A high percentage of short shots does not make an individual an amazing - tky21 - 12:25pm 9/30/22
      - Not to mention ... teams fouled Shaq on purpose to force him to shoot the ball ... - GaSubwayIrish - 1:56pm 9/30/22
      - His dunks actually make this number. Dunks == hand offs (not a passing play). Still silly [NT] - GaSubwayIrish - 1:54pm 9/30/22
      - And the rim isn't moving when you shoot the ball. [NT] - GaSubwayIrish - 1:50pm 9/30/22
- I think the more relevant question is whether Pyne is precise. [NT] - LanceManion - 4:23pm 9/29/22
  - Interesting choice since the definition includes accuracy and I'd interpret "exactness" to mean - oldirish - 9:38pm 9/29/22
  - You bring up a good point! How bout you figure it out and report back. [NT] - GaSubwayIrish - 4:36pm 9/29/22
    - Right now. it's relative, he's 1000% more precise than the train wreck that started the season [NT] - holybull101 - 7:37pm 9/29/22
      - Absolutely right. Correct analysis! [NT] - oldirish - 9:30pm 9/29/22
- Another great point in the #'s: If ball is on-target/catchable and Comp% is low or high, this tells - oldirish - 12:15pm 9/29/22
  - Who here can say ND has great WRs?! [NT] - GaSubwayIrish - 12:32pm 9/29/22
    - The NFL... maybe? sort of but not really. [NT] - oldirish - 12:35pm 9/29/22
- Great Article. Would be awesome to see a breakdown of NDs last 8 or so QBs. Starters and backups. [NT] - oldirish - 12:07pm 9/29/22
  - Good article but stats are not everything. Would you rather have Bridgewater or Mahomes as a QB? [NT] - irish93 - 12:19pm 9/29/22
    - Interesting. This is the problem. Assumes you cherry pick the best QB and not play a QB that can - oldirish - 12:37pm 9/29/22
    - Great question. Pyne or Buchner? [NT] - GaSubwayIrish - 12:31pm 9/29/22
      - Better question: Buchner with Pyne's game plan versus Pyne [NT] - D2 - 1:40pm 9/29/22
        Why wasn’t Buchner given Pyne’s game plan? - WoodstockIrish - 8:01am 10/3/22
        
        Pretty sure Buchner can't successfully run what we've seen the last 2 weeks. He's 1 dimensional [NT] - oldirish - 9:32pm 9/29/22
        
        Yep. Wish we’d seen it vs OSU and Marshall. [NT] - GaSubwayIrish - 1:47pm 9/29/22
      - Fair point [NT] - oldirish - 12:37pm 9/29/22
- Even using Book's minimal NFL numbers the pattern holds true .. - GaSubwayIrish - 11:58am 9/29/22
