Most QBs don't throw great deep balls and Love is no exception. He has gotten a couple deep ball flags though to help the cause.
I think his accuracy is 'ok', after years of Rodgers everything will be a bit of a dropoff.
However, Love is not accurate by NFL standards. He's basically ranked last in completion percentage among the starters. He's got young receivers and there have been some drops, but that wouldn't get him into the teens, nevermind the top half of starters. There's a stat going around of Love being 6 of 24 on throws of 20+ yards downfield, with 2 Ints and 0 TD. The charting lists 5 of the 24 as 'accurate', meaning the receiver bailed him out on one.

Rosen and Mariota are not the kind of company you want to be compared with. Love has been throwing the ball for 15+ years at this point, if his accuracy isn't getting better it probably never will. I think he'll always be a guy who floats around 58-62% completion rate, and in today's NFL that's not good enough for a deep playoff run or even those 13 win seasons Tex loves. Maybe MLF will get smart and tailor the scheme or gameplan to Love's strengths, but there is well documented proof of MLF forgetting he has Aaron Jones on his team.
