They do exist.

(or at least trolls pretending to be them do)

Point being though that we've repeatedly shot down completion percentage as a valid measure when it was used to support the notion that Bridgewater was a good quarterback. Using it as a standard now is antithetical to that.

IMO it's fine to cite as a secondary/tertiary differentiator (though still better qualified with stats like intended air yards) in a discussion of QBs who have more to offer than just completion percentage - they actually throw/threw downfield, lead their teams on scoring drives in the clutch, etc. When it's the only thing supporting a thesis of QB success, however, it's inadequate.

I'm guessing you missed the sarcasm here 🤔

There isn't a sarcasm font.

Dan Marino was a 59.4% thrower.

The game has changed - you can't compare stats over the ages. 

The point being that the narrative of Cam being an inaccurate passer and those guys being more dependable just isn't accurate. Neither historically nor statistically. 

As I said, I don't necessarily have a problem with someone just liking Jake or Steve more, but don't throw out false statements to support that view.
