First off, let’s establish that completion % doesn’t even measure a QB’s accuracy. That’s the first dumb statement.
Second the premise that nobody improves their completion %, Aaron Rodgers’ first two years comp % was 56% and 40%. Then improved to be somewhere in the 60s the rest of his career. Tua completed 64% of his passes his freshman year. 69% last year. Completing 77% so far this year (yes that will come down when they play real competition). See improving your completion %s is more about your decisions than your accuracy on throws. I’m sure I could find more but these are guys off the top of my head.
And finally, your premise that nobody gets more accurate over their career. Are you honestly going to tell me the Nick Marshall we saw in early 2013 had the same accuracy as the Nick Marshall that threw for 456 yards against Alabama?
Accuracy isn’t even all about your arm motion. You yourself said in the OP that you can work on footwork. Do you know what footwork does for a QB? Makes them more accurate.

first go Here
Then look up all these pro QBs college stats Here
I did a couple of my past favorite QBs Joe Montana and Favre
Montana College 52%
Pros 63%
Favre 52 College, 62 NFL
10-11%
One current
Brees improved 5.8%
By the way a 2-4% completion percentage would be a good improvement
With that said I got a better understanding of where you were going with this, you just did a lousy job trying to show it, and not everything you shared is accurate nor is it absolute.
Oh, and Russell Wilson? Went from a 58% at NC State to a 73% at Wisconsin. So it wasn't just better receivers, maybe it was better OLine too, coaching, scheme. That's a 15% improvement in college, and has settled into the 64-65% range in the Pros.

Nix is a lot more accurate than your post and I’m never going to forgive you for this.
He holds the passing yardage and passing TD record in the state of Alabama. Not bad for someone who isn’t accurate, No?
We wouldn’t be 4-0 without Bo Nix..

Bo has not had an INT in 3 games. No fumbles. His completion percentage against aTm was 61% which is acceptable. He is averaging 4 yards per rush which is solid.
I have no issues with how he's played. He needs to improve his deep ball, I agree. I see no reason why he can't. It's not arm strength, all he needs is to work on timing with his receivers.

People will laugh at you, but you make a valid point. Tim Tebow is a similar example. Terrible mechanics.

You guys gotta stop with the Gatewood nonsense.
ETA didn't realize this was an old thread, but the point stands. Gatewood is gone. It is what it is at this point.
