Accuracy. It’s an attribute of the NFL quarterback that isn’t just important in EA Sports’ Madden NFL series.
To the masses, it is the difference-maker, the absolute truth when separating the real gunslingers from the posers. For accuracy cannot be taught. It is either born in one’s arm or curiously missing in action.
Perhaps no NFL QB has been forced to deal with inaccuracy rumors through one year of sitting as much as New York Jets second-year righty Christian Hackenberg. From Fork Union, Virginia in high school to Penn State with Bill O’Brien, until now with the big boys of Sunday, accuracy has been the Hack’s Kryptonite.
