But Plum did lead the NFL in completion percentage three times in a row, before going to the Detroit Lions in 1962 and seeing his stats disintegrate in 1963, Plum went 27-of-77 (35-percent) with two touchdowns and 12 interceptions.Had Brown built a repeatable system? Could he at least repeat it, if not the rest of the NFL?I’m not an Xs and Os expert, nor can I trace the history of Xs and Os through Brown, Sid Gillman, Don Coryell, Bill Walsh, West Coast Offense, play action passing and all that. The things Graham did were not rare, they were unprecedented.The NFL wouldn’t see another team with 70-percent completions through three games for another seven years, when it would again by Cleveland, again under head coach Paul Brown, but now the quarterback was Milt Plum not quite Otto Graham, conceivably the best player in league history.

Check in and see updated changes throughout the season, and who the races are between for passing touchdowns.
But he led the NFL.Overall, 70-percent completions through three games happened twice in the 70s, five times in the 80s (never twice by the same team or QB) and seven times in the 90s. Paul Brown had started Plum over Dawson, who led the NFL in completion percentage in every season between 19 with the exception of 1963 and is a Hall of Famer who belongs in the same conversations as Graham.In none of the years between 19 did Dawson even hit 60-percent completions. I can’t trace Xs and Os back to the Browns, but I can trace Dawson: he was a backup in Cleveland in 19.
Coming off of one of the most dominant Super Bowl seasons in league history, the Rams posted a completion percentage of 70 or better through three games in three straight seasons thanks to Kurt Warner and Mike Martz and the all-pros they had. Louis Rams would first join the party. In 1993, the Seattle Seahawks posted a completion percentage of 70 with rookie Rick Mirer, but he had thrown one touchdown, five interceptions and was sacked 14 times in three games.Then beginning in 2000, the St.
Marcus Mariota, now backing up Carr with the Las Vegas Raiders, completed 68.9-percent of his attempts in 2018, one season before being benched for Tannehill.If things don’t work out for Mariota or Carr with the Raiders, at least they could try going to the Vikings to backup Cousins. Kirk Cousins joined the 70-and-up group in 2018, with Derek Carr and Ryan Tannehill added to the list in 2019.In the last two seasons, Matt Ryan, Jimmy Garoppolo and Carson Wentz all came within a few completions (or dropped passes) from joining them. The other five in the top six belong to Brees. Anderson completed his 70.6-percent in 1982, when there were only nine games.You no longer need to be a Hall of Famer or an MVP to complete 70-percent of your passes.Cam on completing over 71 percent of his throws: "that's cute, but we want to win." #Patriots— Evan Lazar September 24, 2020In 2016, Sam Bradford completed 71.6-percent of his attempts for the Minnesota Vikings, the fourth best completion percentage in history. In 2009, Brees became the fifth QB to complete 70-percent of his passes in a season, joining Joe Montana, Steve Young, Sammy Baugh (Hall of Fame all of them) and Ken Anderson, the 1981 NFL MVP. As of 2020, Brees has completed at least 70-percent of his passes through three games five times.More than we had seen from the entire league combined over the 50s, 60s and 70s.As we know by now, Brees doesn’t need to stop at three games to keep his completion percentage above 70.
So is Jacoby Brissett, the quarterback benched for Rivers in Indianapolis.And now Jared Goff has completed at least 70-percent of his passes through three games in three of his four seasons under head coach Sean McVay.What we have is a combination of talent and opportunity (scheme evolution, rule changes, better coaching and preparation for the league, potentially even less talent on defense, a waning desire to run the football) that has led to an NFL where completing 70-percent of your passes and posting a rating above 100 or even a Y/A above 8 is not necessarily indicative of quality play or at least is not indicative of quality play relative to the other 31 starting quarterbacks in the NFL.Former #BoiseState QB Brett Rypien made his NFL debut today.He finished 8-of-9 for 53 yards. Eli Manning in 2018 is on it, his last season in the league. Gardner Minshew has already appeared on it twice during his two years in the league, having completed 73.86-percent of his passes through three games in 2019 and 73.83-percent of them in 2020.
