Quote: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. 

 

Nah. Your point is fair to weak and your numbers are way off. 

 

(I randomly picked the year as I though it was smack in the middle of the "era" you were referencing.) 

 

Here's career numbers if you like that better.

 

Staubach career comp % - 57%

Griese 56.2%

Tarkenton - 57%

Fouts 58.8%

Sipe 56.5%

Danielson 57.8%

Jaworski 53.8%

 

ALL of these guys had career comp percentages well above 50%  AND positive TD/INT ratios. 

 

There are at least a dozen more QBs  with +50% career comp numbers from Bradshaw's period but negative TD/INT ratios. 

 

So - like I said - your exaggeration about comp % is way off.
