They basically almost played a wishbone offense with an occasional pass. The most important thing is always win-loses. Stats will differ depending on different systems, etc. His completion rate in college was 66% for a 2 time national championship team so let's not pretend that he can't throw. Even Peyton Manning in his first full season was only 56%. At the time during their 2011 playoff run the read option was a new paradigm offense in the NFL but a couple years later was followed by the read options with RGIII in Washington, Kapernick in San Fran and others. It was just ahead of it's time.

Your beloved Hall of Fame Terry Bradshaw had a 45% completion rate in 1974 when the Steelers won the Super Bowl.

I am not pretending.  Educating, perhaps. 

He doesn't throw the ball well enough to succeed as an NFL quarterback. This is not remotely debatable. It's a long established fact. 

The "different style" you mention is also not proven to be sustainable in the league heretofore unless paired with a QB who is able to be a threat from the pocket. Tebow was not enough of a threat from the pocket. Which brings us back to why 46% is such an important number in this conversation. 

And.... 1974?  Really?  LOL  
That's nearly 50 years ago.
