Good luck with that! Aaron Rodgers never had a completion percentage over 70% as a starting QB.

I mean yeah probably not, only Drew Brees and Sam Bradford(!) have ever done that. If they return to dink and dak, as I suspect they will, then maybe they can get to 67 or so.
Oh so Dink and Dak was by design and not Dak's limitations? Or offense was tayloring to his deficiencies? Or Dak skill set is versatile enough to switch offenses?

Well duh, he’s going to be in a west coast offense now
Rodgers never cracked 70% (and was in the low 60’s as often as he was in the high 60’s) as a starter with McCarthy. So this is probably one of those pie in the sky, aspirational goals you know you won’t hit. Like baseballs players saying they’ll hit .400 this year or like how every starting RB swears this is the year they take a run at 2,000 yards.

But that’s fine. At least it’s fine for those who won’t now turn around like idiots and claim Prescott now sucks and is inaccurate and we should let him walk away for nothing (and that he should take Kellen Moore with him) when he falls short of 71% by only completing 67% or whatever.

I mean, Tony was at 69 percent one year. It was the year that we went 1-8 before he got injured and we fired Wade.

There was also the year that Tony had 4 400 yard games and we went 0-4 in them. And we were consistently winning when he threw for 270-300 yards.

I mean, I would fire a coach who told his quarterback his goal was to achieve a certain completion percentage. That's not how they hand out wins and losses.

In order to achieve that percentage, there will have to be a lot of passes thrown very quickly. Oc will need to plan around dak's strengths.

With Dak 8-8/ All I got to say. Most already know it.
