Anderson still played against the regular lineups (not replacements) of the #4 defense (Pitt) and #5 defense (Sea) in the league and completed over 73% of his passes against them (49-67)

Yes, any player hitting over .400 after playing 90 games would be compared to Williams. Especially since the league batting average is about 20 points lower now than in the '40's when Williams played. That is pretty sad considering that now we have the designated hitter in both leagues.
