Isn't completion percentage the closest metric to determine that? If so, he's exactly what I think he is (and most likely will be as a rookie): up and down. 

Then again, how do you break down that to throws that truly weren't accurate, throws that hit the receiver in the hands, or throws where the WR ran the wrong route (e.g. the Tennessee debacle)

That's why I said are there advanced metrics. Completion percentage ignores a lot of things, like was the pass deeper than average? How much separation are the receivers getting? Are there drops? More passes defensed, etc.

If you watch a lot of other teams I'm sure you've seen plenty of times when a QB throws to a guy and it's slightly high or behind them, but they're wide open and make the catch and run for five or ten more yards anyway.

Watching the chargers a few weeks ago made me jealous of their receivers as Herbert threw to well covered guys  down the field that just got position on their defender and made a great catch.
