We watch him almost exclusively, so we focus on his mistakes in a way we don't focus on others. If he's really unusually bad then I'm sure one of the big metrics sites just have something measuring it.

I think both can be true.  There are at times Lawrence gets a little off target with throws he should make.  I know Prisco has been hammering this topic for over a month talking about Lawrence's mechanics regressing.  A lot of that can be cleaned up with coaching.  But I also think at times he does just get a little wild and not sure it is mechanics.

On the otherhand, watch other NFL games and count the number of times an elite QB isn't completely accurate.  Was watching the packers game over the holidays and one of Davante's touchdown grabs was a throw this board would hammer Lawrence for.  Think it was Davante's second touchdown.  Short out pattern where he ran towards the pylon.  Rodgers threw it behind him where he basically had to stop, jump, and reach back to grab it.  Luckily he created enough separation where he could get his hands on it and strong enough where he could maintain position while getting hit.  If Lawrence throws that pass, it probably gets picked off as our WR would have gotten zero separation and any ball thrown behind on a route like that would look like it is aimed at the DB.  Best case the pass is knocked down.  Either way he'd get hammered for making a poor throw.

Yes Lawrence can get more accurate but the criticism is over the top by people expecting nearly every pass need to be hitting a WR in stride between the numbers every time.  Good WRs bail out QBs all the time.
