He was among the best ever at avoiding sacks, an often overlooked but key element of effective quarterback play. He played in one of the worst eras for quarterbacks to compile strong passing stats, which is why his numbers don’t compare to modern quarterbacks.

Read my post from p.5. He was slightly above his contemporaries in almost every critical category. He was only 5-7% better than the league average in completion %, TDs, and QB rating.
