If you have a receiver pretty open 20 yards down the field but have two d-lineman in your face about to sack you that makes a big difference for having an "inaccurate throw" in my opinion.
Another meaningless, arbitrary, made up stat collection. So stupid.
In the NFL the QB has to anticipate where the receiver will be and "throw him open". Unless they are wide open in the middle of a zone or some defender falls down , the QB can't wait until the receiver is open. That window can disappear as the defender closes on the play.
