I disagree with this as well. A year in the pros can certainly help with accuracy and strength.

Or, in the case of Drew Brees, you may actually throw harder after major shoulder surgery (as he alluded to in an interview). Haha.

Okay here is the QB Progression details:

Throwing power - only goes down, typically as players get older, although some younger players still go do (GUESSING from injures??) - you can get a training staff that improves this stat by +3

Throwing accuracy - does NOT change BUT

Short/Med/Depp Accuracy - Does progress

I am not sure how Throwing accuracy works in conjunction with Short/Med/Deep accuracy so I rather curious on that one.

I did notice some QB Agility going up as well

Will post more as I have more time.....

AWR - this of curse progesses

really? seems clear to me most QBs are able to throw the ball with more speed and for more distance after a few years than coming out of college. Same with accuracy.

It is based on technique and if ea doesn't have a technique category then by simple logic those two categories should then increase.

To me there should be a range where these categories increase then plateau then decline.

Note that I think the increase and decrease should be minor but it SHOULD be there.
