Best show on Cheesehead TV - you ladies know your football. Keep up the good work.
Brett’s best years -and consequently the Packers best years under Brett - were 1994, 1995, 1996 and 1997 when Brett threw just 14 (2.3 int to 100 pass attempts), 13 (2.4 int to 100 pass attempts), 13 (2.3 int to 100 pass attempts) and 16 (3.1 int to 100 pa) interceptions each year and combined with Reggie, Gilbert and Leroy’s 9th, 4th, 1st and 5th ranked defenses to go to the Divisional Round and then 3 Conference Championship games and 2 Super Bowls. Beyond 1997 Brett and the Packers did not see a Conference championship game again until 2007 when Brett had his lowest interception #, 15, since 1997. Perhaps Brett’s best year was in 2009 – as a 40 year old - with the Vikings when he threw 33 touchdown passes, but just 7 interceptions and had the Vikings minutes away from a Super Bowl.
Jordan is looking more like the 1998 through 2006 Brett, though only in 2005 was Brett’s interception per pass attempt % number worse than Jordan’s current 4.5%. Jordan’s current 4.5% places him 29th out of 32 starting quarterbacks – only Minshew, Levis and Richardson’s numbers are worse. If we annualize Jordan’s current 8 interceptions over 5 games over a 16 game season, Jordan would finish with 26 interceptions and annualized over 17 games Jordan would finish with 27 interceptions.
Also rules favor quarterbacks today much more than back then. Due to those rule changes completion %, TD %, yards per pass attempt are way up and interception % way down, so Jordan’s interception and inaccuracy numbers put him near or at the bottom today, whereas in the 1998 through 2006 period Jordan would have just been in the bottom half.
Over some 50 years now in the NFL the team that has fewer turnovers in a game wins the game 78% of the time, that's why Jordan's interceptions are a real problem.
