But it took him 12 years to finally get them in check in a Super Bowl. That's a long time. It's better to learn good habits early than try to break bad ones later in your career. @SorianoJoe Oh absolutely they were which concerns me because it took Elway 3 years to get them in check and the first year he did they started reaching the Super Bowl.

I should have used interception percentage, but I had to do most of this math myself for these splits so things were getting messy. I usually like to use accuracy percentage- from the Pro Football Focus- but they don't give their stats for free, which leaves me having to use the "traditional" numbers. I totally agree with your analysis on him benefiting from YAC, and I really want to dig up his air yards per attempt on Football Outsiders or some other sight- maybe Advanced NFL Stats- that uses this statistic. Cam eats into his own passing touchdowns, and it does hurt Smitty above all else. Thanks for liking the post, and thanks for your great analysis in the comments section. I really enjoyed reading it, and, on a last note, I agree that interceptions are deal-breakers and turnovers must be kept in check. However, he will only get better as he matures, because Elway and Aikman used to be pick-machines back when they were young and inexperienced. Again, thanks for the comment and I really appreciate all feedback; especially some very good analysis to go with the post that gets me thinking even more. @TruePanthersFan To be honest, I don’t think completion percentage or interceptions are the best measurements of accuracy, but they are all we have.
