Quote:In 1978 the following QBs had completion rates of 51% or better and a positive TD:INT ratio:

 

Archie Manning - 61.8% comp

Dan Fouts - 58.8%

Gary Danielson - 56.7%

Bradshaw  - 56.2%

Roger Staubach - 55.9%

Brian Sipe 55.6%

Craig Morton - 54.7%

Joe Ferguson - 53%

 

Your point about interceptions isn't terribly far off base - there were lots of guys with 1:1 or worse ratios back then -  but your exaggeration about comp percentage is off the mark by quite some distance.

Why are you cherry picking one random year? Bradshaw's career completion % is 51.9% with 212 TD and 210 INT. I don't think that's an exaggeration. 

 

Oh I see, 1978 is the year of Archie's highest comp % and Bradshaw's 2nd highest to try to make the exaggeration sound worse than it was. Archie's career is 55.2% completions and 125:173 TD:INT.

 

I am going to say my point stands, pretty strongly.
