It would be more accurate to say he had a very high completion % on passes>20 yards. Accuracy? Or is that just because he refused to throw the rock unless his receiver had burned the defense and was wide open, where an errant throw couldn't possibly result in an INT. Where even if he was not particularly accurate, the receiver could still adjust and make the catch.
Drew brees is accurate on passes over 20 yards. He will put the ball in a small window.
Alex has a high completion % on passes over 20 yards because he is ultra cautious and very selective throwing passes over 20 yards. If the 20 yard receiver is covered on 3rd and 14, then he throws a 5 yard pass to Crabtree and hopes for 10 YAC.
"Efficiency" is not the same thing as "accuracy".

Another thing to consider is ball placement, which IMO is tied in very heavily with accuracy but something most people on message boards don't talk about.
