This year the league average would be 19th in NFL history if it were a player's career %. That's including all of the terrible QBs we all watch play every week this year. The NFL is averaging almost 7 players each year with a % higher than Brees' 67.7% mark the last 3 years.
So the pool of players he's actually competing with is really quite small even though we say "history".
It's still impressive, because he was 1st last year and is 3rd this year among his peers, so he's dominating in his own era.
What we need is a career Cmp%+ list so we can actually compare across eras.
Yeah, but wasn't it just a couple months ago and we were arguing how BAD the QB's were in the NFL right now out of the top 5?
