QB accuracy ratings a head-scratcher

I don't have a problem with Romo's accuracy in a vacuum, it's just his accuracy relative to Eli Manning's in the demo. Eli seems much more accurate, which doesn't seem right. I don't care if Romo gets bumped up or Eli gets bumped down, but it feels way backwards to me right now. Tracking stats in the demo is tricky since an entire game may get you stats like 3 for 4 thanks to the absurdly short quarters.

Yea but if you look at that list your saying Daunte Culpepper should be more accurate than Tom Brady

Its not so much about Career, its more of what you've done lately. Romo wasn't that accurate last year

also keep in mind he's playing in a snowstorm with 15-20 mph winds

If it doesn't matter anymore then why have it in there. Its just a waste of space.

To me throwing accuracy is a quick summary of what to expect the higher it is the better the other sections will be so I don't find it useless at all.

Eli had the best year of his career last year and Romo had the worst year of his career, and Romo still had a higher completion percentage, higher Y/C, higher QB rating, more yards, and more touchdowns, in less attempts. I'm not suggeting Romo should be some sort of super-fantastic QB (I don't even LIKE the cowboys). If anything, I think Eli's ratings are too high. I'm not going to make a fuss about it, I just saw the thread and thought I'd throw in my two cents.

As for weather, they're BOTH playing in a snowstorm with 20mph winds, so that kind of cancels out.

Well you are wrong. Thanks for playing!

So as a developer... I must ask you... why put in code that is no longer used? It will only confuse the consumer and make me nit pick.

If it no longer has any value I say remove it or average it or base the overall rating on the offense that the team is running.

If you are playing in an offense that need short range accuracy and your short range is horrible then it should affect the overall more...

I say take it out
