Like I said, though, I'd be interested to know how much worse Trevor has been accuracy wise than would be considered normal from somewhere that's doing something more than just feeding raw stats into a formula.

How do you find out without using stats? That's kind of the point that stats are 'objective', and metrics used on all players are better than someone's feelings or eye tests. It's especially bad when the own fans grade their own QB they really, really want to be a franchise qb.

Right now the best case is that Lawrence turns it around in 2023 and becomes the next Josh Allen. Maybe he will turn it around next year even.  Like Baker Mayfield.

How does measuring completions measure accuracy? It only says whether a pass was caught. An advanced metric would be doing something like measuring how many passes thrown are within a certain (catchable) radius of the target, maybe even with the radius being wider the further down field the target would be since a receiver has longer to adjust, as a percentage, for instance. Without doing something like that how can you even start to measure accuracy? When you present stats what you're really doing is presenting a result over multiple variables. I'm asking if there is a single variables metric that backs up the idea that he's inaccurate.
