NFL with a minimum of 100 passing attempts. That was higher than Justin Herbert, Philip Rivers, Matt Stafford, Baker Mayfield, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Kyler Murray, Ben Roethlisberger, Matt Ryan, Jimmy Garoppolo, Teddy Bridgewater, Jared Goff, Joe Burrow, Tua Tagovailoa, Cam Newton, Nick Foles, Alex Smith, Jalen Hurts, Daniel Jones, Carson Wentz, and Sam Darnold among others.
I guess I'm not sure what people saw that made them think he couldn't be a starting QB in the NFL.
