Re: Looking for advice for 2nd human thrower 1st skillup.

I don't take what I consider crazy chances, but neither am I ultraconservative.
I frequently make Quick Passes with my Human Thrower (Accurate is the first skill-up they typically get) and don't usually go for a cage rolling downfield. Yeah, I'll put some defensive guys around my ball carrier if I can spare them, but then there's a lot of times where having them knock down opposing players protects him just as well and gives me a shot at maybe getting a KO. I don't grind, and when I get the ball I do my best to put it in the endzone. Occasionally I'll pause one turn if I can afford it depending on the clock, but that's about it. I'd rather win 3-2 than 1-0 and have some game highlights to talk about later.
3+ with a reroll fails 1-in-9 times. That's reliable enough for me, particularly if I've taken some measures to make sure that a failure won't be too bad. First do your movement, lock up enemy players, position guys around the thrower and catcher if you can in case they don't complete, then go ahead and toss the ball.
The one thing I generally try to avoid is dodging, which I seem to have poor luck with.
