Well, I agree that accuracy wasn't his best attribute when he first went to Seattle, but actually his first partial year and his subsequent full year were 4.8 and 4.9. The next two seasons were the ones that aggravated folks-- 6.8 and 6.2. Then he figured it out.

I remember this because my brother-in-law and I took turns praising or denigrating him!
