In college? Jones is the only one of that group with sub 65% career completion in college. What’s your threshold as a GM?
It you equate accuracy with completion percentage we are speaking different languages.
Baker Mayfield was a statistically accurate QB and has been a journeyman at best in the NFL.
I would say accuracy can only be observed by watching the games and trying to understand why a QB placed a ball where he did. Matt Waldman is a fantastic resource at breaking down scouting for accuracy vs statistical accuracy, and I believe in his criteria.
Every one of the QBs I mentioned were “Area Code” accurate QBs in college. This can appear good in terms of completion percentage, but often times it doesn’t translate well to the NFL where windows are smaller.
For the record, I was extremely high on Levis in 2021, and soured on him the more I watched over the summer.
The reason I soured on him was because he often throws passes that force his WR to adjust back to the ball on inbreaking route concepts. Watch enough games and this is a consistent problem with his game. Keep watching and you continue to see shaky placement on multiple different routes, especially when the play extends longer than his initial 1st or 2nd read. (Carson Wentz also struggled with this.)
In college it can work out when your throwing to WRs who are wide open by NFL standards. It doesn’t work in the NFL—forcing coaches to over scheme to compensate for this deficiency. As we’ve seen with Daniel Jones, Wentz, and Trubisky—and Wilson and Darnold to a much lesser extent.
I would say this is a trait I don’t see fixed after following the draft religiously for 15 years. It’s a function of mechanical issues and not recognizing the leverage of the play quick enough/executing fast enough.
If we want to talk nuances, sure, these guys all play the position differently. No 2 prospects are the same. But in broad strokes, all of them are generally accurate QBs. Not pinpoint. Which to me, is an indicator of issues in the NFL, and not worthy of the draft position.
