Completion percentage is TRICKY..lol. According to SISDatahub, Carr and WInston are identical from behind the line to 10 yards, Jameis has a better completion percentage from 10-20, and Carr has a better completion percentage in 20+ yards. Due to the increase of "dink and dunk" QBs, completion percentages were skewed and that's why they began to try to formulate things like CPOE. We are judging the completion percentage between one QB whose career average depth of throw is 10 yards per throw to another QB whose career average depth is 7.5 yards. Whether fair or not, they are view equally in the eyes of most.

Hey sometimes you have to believe what your eyes are telling you. That’s the first measure, the eye test, then stats to back up what your eyes saw, if it was true. Do you think the NFL scouts were blown away at P. Mahomes pro day because of his college stats? Or what they witnessed him doing in person? It didn’t take a rocket surgeon to figure out that PM was the next great QB. You can say the same about Burrows. JW behind center for the Saints didn’t pass the eye test. So all of this going back and forth with stats is moot. He simply wasn’t getting it done YET, and time was his enemy. He’ll be a late bloomer like Geno Smith. Or the Titans Qb, Tannehill.
