Steve Young is a good example because of his high career completion percentage, third all-time behind, wait, CHAD PENNINGTON?? (Didn't know that - lol) and Kurt Warner. So Steve Young should be about the statistical ceiling for QBs in Madden.
Very nice man..I didn't have the time to find those but I was looking for them. I thought he would be a good example as when I think West Coast, I think Steve Young, and he was at the top of the QBs who have ran that successfully.

So back to my point, from 91-98 there were only 30 games where he threw over 70%. What I really want to get across is that he is a Hall-a-Famer and yes, that should def be the ceiling for QBs in that system. If someone does better, great cause there is always someone to come along that will beat the past records, but it should be very, very uncommon.

Hasselback is a good QB, not a Hall-a-Famer so to see him do that one time, no biggie, but I hope this isn't a common occurrance. I know he said that they were passes under 20 yards but in the NFL, how many passes a game go over 20 yards??(someone look that up). Just cause they are shorter passes doesn't make them easier, typically you will have more clutter cause the defense is all right there.
