yup, he's the epitome of 50/50 when he throws, you never know if it's going to be perfect and online, or if he'll be

His throwing motion has a low release point, his elbow is too low on his passes

That training has changed significantly (as noted in post above re Beck) and

It could be me, but I thought there were about five of them.

I wonder if the cold weather exacerbates Jake's accuracy issues.
