Vick wasn’t even close to completing 60% of his passes. Jackson is completing 63%. That’s a mark we HOPE a Taysom Hill could match if he ever became a starter.
And I made a point of reminding you of the massive difference in the rules today. Touchdown passes is your argument? When the Cowboys got near the goal line, guess who got the ball? That's the way the game was played then, and there was very little of this dink and dunk "extension of the run game" that QB's pad their stats with today.

That's all before we get into the rules that prohibit breathing on a QB's nearest relative, or throwing a flag for hitting a receiver in a way that isn't absolutely perfect. If you put guys like Aikman, and especially Elway, Young, Montana and Marino in today's NFL, they'd be blowing away Cam's stats.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

When the Panthers got near the goal line they ran Cam Newton, DeAngelo Williams, or Jonathan Stewart. The Panthers have been a run heavy organization for decades now. And honestly, Cam doesn’t get those calls. He has the “Shaq and LeBron Effect” at the position.
