Understanding Completion Percentage
Completion Percentage is the standard metric for evaluating a quarterback's baseline accuracy and decision-making.
- The Modern Passing Game: The standard for a "good" completion percentage has risen dramatically over the decades. In the 1970s, completing 55% of your passes was considered excellent. Today, due to short-passing offenses, 55% would likely get a quarterback benched!
- League Averages: In the modern NFL, the league average completion percentage usually hovers right around 63% to 65%.
- The Elite 70% Club: Completing 70% or more of your passes over a full season is considered elite and requires historic efficiency.
- All-Time Record: Drew Brees holds the record for the highest single-season completion percentage in NFL history, completing an incredible 74.4% of his passes during the 2018 season.
