And they still are (I don't know if it's 5), but the NFL has changed rules so much and schemes have adjusted so much that it's easier for even bad QBs to complete short passes, and defenses are now employing a lot more bend-don't-break mindsets where they are allowing the shorter passes and betting you can't do it enough times in a row to drive down a field.
There are 32 qualified passers in the NFL, and only 1 of them has a Cmp% below 60.0% (Zack Wilson), and only 11 have one below 64.0%. How did that happen? It's because Yards Per Completion is the lowest it has been in NFL history. (Also passing yards per game is also at it's lowest since 2009, and passing TDs are at it's lowest since 2008.)
