PFT: Joe Burrow set to become NFL’s all-time career leader in completion percentage

[swiper]

Even if Burrow’s first 12 passes on Monday night are incomplete, his career completion percentage would still be 67.93 percent, so he’ll stay comfortably ahead of Brees’ record.

To qualify for the career completion percentage record in the NFL Record & Fact Book, a player needs to have thrown 1,500 passes in his career. Currently, the NFL’s all-time leader in completion percentage is Drew Brees, with 67.69 percent.

But Burrow, whose career completion percentage is 68.48 percent, has thrown 1,488 passes in his NFL career. As soon as Burrow throws his 12th pass in Monday night’s game against the Bills, he’ll surpass Brees as the NFL’s all-time leader.

All of the career leaders in completion percentage are recent quarterbacks. After Burrow and Brees, the other quarterbacks who have completed at least 66 percent of their passes in their careers are Jimmy Garoppolo, Deshaun Watson, Dak Prescott, Justin Herbert, Kyler Murray, Kirk Cousins, Teddy Bridgewater, Patrick Mahomes and Chad Pennington. (no Josh Allen)

Meh…

He’s a really good QB who manages the game.

[Night Train]

They should stop the game and bring out his family and HS coach. Then present him with Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh.

He does more than manage the game if you look at his stats.

[Forward_Lateral]

Meh…

He’s a really good QB who manages the game.
He's not a game manager.

Trent Dilfer was a game manager.

[POTLAND PSILBYLO]

Let's hope he completes some to our CBs

[Chet]

He’s a good kid and a born winner. That was one of the gutsiest seasons I’ve ever seen from a player last year, especially the playoff run. I don’t think people realize just how much he got the **** kicked out of him on a weekly basis, and coming off a knee injury too…only to get up off the mat every time.

LOL @ Bills fans. Another team can't have a good QB. Just can't happen.

Your QB isn't on that completion percentage list, nor was he in the Super Bowl last season. Or any season. Ask notty who the number one team is in the ESPN rankings is. It's not the Bills. Its the 49ers. THAT QB working miracles. Some of you deserved the 20 years of misery.

How do you form that observation from the posts on this thread?!?!? Uhhhhh....there is zero evidence that this is accurate.


And you can’t even get the power rankings correct. The #1 team in the latest ESPN rankings is NOT San Fran, but KC (https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/35304755/2022-nfl-week-17-power-rankings-1-32-poll-defining-moments).

And what do TEAM power rankings have to do with individual QB performance, and in particular, QB completion percentage????

BTW....so far THIS season the leaders in completion percentage are (https://www.espn.com/nfl/stats/player/_/table/passing/sort/completionPct/dir/desc)....


1 - Geno Smith - 70.7%
2. Dak Prescott - 69.2%
3. Joe Burrow - 69%
4. Matt Stafford - 68%
5. Justin Herbert - - 68%
6. JAlen Hurts - - 67.3%
7. Jimmy Garoppolo - 67.2%
8. Matt Ryan - 67%
9. Patrick Mahomes - 66.9%
10. Danile Joes - 66.5%
11. Kyler Murray - 66.4%
12. Sany Dalton - 66.2%
13. Tom Brady - 66%
14. Trevor Lawrence - 65.9%
15. Kirk Cousins - - 65.7%
16. Mac Jones - 65.6%
17. Ryan Tannehill - 65.2%
18. Kenny Pickett - 65.2%
19. Aaron Rodgers - 64.8%
20. Tua Tagovailoa- 64.8%
21. Jared Goff - 64.5%
22. Jacoby Brissett - 64%
23. Josh Allen - 63.4%

So what?

What, exactly is your point, and why did you start this thread....and why do you feel the need to misrepresent what “Bills fans” think (falsely) saying that they (overgeneralizing at the least) “another team can’t have good QB”?!?!?


Or are you just trolling?

[POTLAND PSILBYLO]

Does Burrow take more sacks rather than throw aways?

[OpIv37]

Given that our DB’s can never seem to find the ball in the air, I’m sure his record is safe for this week.

I don’t think we’re saying anything like this. If you look at the top 10 on this list, their offense is designed to throw high percentage short passes. I’ve said before, I would love to see Josh in a 49ers scheme. The Bills throw a lot of low percentage long passes so of course Josh isn’t in the top 10. Then again, Burrow’s puts absolutely no fear in a defense that he will run the ball. I would think that makes preparing for Josh much more difficult!!! It’s silly to even try to compare them against each other.

[Novacane]

He's a hell of a QB. I'm still taking Josh Allen if given a choice. I don't think I'm being a homer either. His run threat is better than another pass or two per game being completed.

[Cntrygal]

Let's hope he completes some to our CBs

5 or 6 would be a nice start to the game.

Yeah, never

Didn't realize Danile Joes and Sany Dalton were doing so well. Interesting that you manually typed the list.

Hey, this happens to me all the time. I’ll post something and read it later and ask myself if I was drunk, I can only imagine what you are think. I know l know, he drunk, lol.

We all do that, but sometimes you need to let the link do most of the talking unless you're trying too hard. I mean manually typing out that much from the link....

I've laughed at myself more than once over my own posts, but I don't take myself so seriously.
