But Rodgers in 2011 threw for more yards and TDs per attempt than Mahomey this year. He had a higher Y/A, NY/A and ANY/A as well.
Of course, Mahomes shits on him in INT% and sacks taken, but given the fact that Rodgers was statistically more efficient and ended up sitting out games that year, I think it's hard to argue against it. That was the year they sat Rodgers week 17 and Matt Flynn threw nearly 500 yards and 6 TDs. In an alternate universe where they didn't sit A Rod, he probably goes over 50 TDs and 5,000 yards with just 6 or 7 INTs.

Edit: and again, without copying/pasting Seths premium content, his use of “accuracy” is essentially completion % + non-completions % that should have been caught (ie receiver-at-fault drops). Seth describes it as a metric measuring how well a QB is playing within the offense, or rather making and executing on good reads.
