Completion % and TD/INT ratio absolutely need to be era and opponent adjusted
Things like completion % and TD/INT ratio have changed massively over the last 30 years and saying ZW is better at those than guys 40 years ago is more a reflection of how the game has changed - how those stats are more emphasised now and how the game has changed to free up the offense more.
John Elway had a career 62.1 completion rate (never a season over 65.4%) and just under a career 2:1 TD/INT ratio.
Davis Mills, the current Stanford QB, has a career 65.5% completion rate and a 2.25:1 TD/INT ration.
Clearly Davis Mills should knock Elway off Stanford's Mt Rushmore. But then again, Elway would have probably been knocked off by KJ Costello. And yet there's a reason Elway was one of those guys seen as a generational no-doubt QB (John Elway, Peyton Manning, Andrew Luck, Trevor Lawrence are the guys viewed that way coming out)

Wrong. With as many BYU records as he broke, he deserves to be up there regardless of what he does in the NFL.
