From what I have seen he is not very accurate. Regardless of the pressure in the pocket, I've seen arrant throws. His deep ball needs a lot of work. He doesn't seem to know what type of touch he should put on the ball and at what times. IMO, his progress should be a lot further along with how long he has gotten to train.
This is what I take most issue with.
It’d be one thing I’d Love had previously been an accurate passer and got to the league and was stuck with a bunch of new receivers and a crummy OL and suddenly his accuracy took a big hit. But that’s not totally the case - Love had a lot of question marks regarding accuracy and decision making in college too, and so far has not really done anything to alleviate those concerns.
And at the end of the day I am just not sure how likely it is that much changes there. It is very, very rare for a player to be a not-particularly-accurate passer in college and a bottom-of-the-league inaccurate passer entering the league to be able to radically turn themselves around into a “franchise building block” type of accurate passer.
Of course there are some exceptions to that rule, and some players certainly do improve, but 180 degree turns in this area are again exceedingly rare. And so in that sense it more or less makes it seem like we are hinging our hopes on Love being the rare exception to the rule who was not particularly accurate in college and not particularly accurate as a pro to at some point - somehow - turn himself into the type of accurate passer you can build a team around. And yes - some of that is impacted by your receivers and OL and likely would improve with better receivers and a better OL, but at the same time opportunities to show off proper decision making and accuracy do not always require having the support of a great OL and great receivers. You can make a fundamentally good and accurate pass that’s dropped by a poor WR, and that’s fine, just in the same way that a great WR might be able to make something out of a fundamentally bad pass. All that to say that while I’m sure it has an impact I am not convinced that WR and/or OL play is a totally adequate explanation for some of his accuracy issues.
(And that’s not to say he’s ALWAYS inaccurate or never makes good throws because of course that’s not the case. But while I’d like to be proven wrong I just have a hard time envisioning a scenario in which he becomes a guy who is *consistently* making the right decision and executing it accurately.)
