Interceptions can make a career or break it. Can you name the quarterback with the lowest percentage of intercepted passes in a career (mimimum 1500 attempts)?

Bl**dy hell. I thought that would keep you busy for a little bit...
Neil O'Donnel it is, with a percentage of 2.1. Which is massively ironic considering that he is best remembered for that bonkers interception in the Superbowl that many of my friends reckoned he'd been paid to throw...

Although some would say it was Andre Hastings fault for running the wrong route on an after snap read...
Back on form then...yay!!!
I'll get a Q soon. Need a think about it as I was ill-prepared for such a stunning comeback!!!

No offence, QB's are paid to notice that the bloke in the path of the ball is wearing the wrong coloured shirt, wrong route or no wrong route...O'Donnell was dumped as starter immediately, as I recall...

He left volunatrily for bigger riches at the Jets actually...
To an extent what you say is true... but a lot of the timing pass attacks in the modern NFL, started with the Bill Walsh/West Coast system and adopted by many others, West Coast or not, is reliant on both the QB and receiver making the correct post-snap adjustments. It is entirely common for the called play to demand the QB throw at a determined time, say, when the foot hits on the final step of a three step drop, to a spot based on a read of the coverage. The receiver should also make the same read and run a pattern to where the ball has been pre-determined to go...!

I thought he warmed the bench for a year before embarking on his stellar 
career at the Jets...oh well...
But i hear what you say. (Though i still think it was appalling -especially as it was the second time in the game that that exact play had resulted in that exact result, as i recall.)
BBS gone to sleep again, or his he still sulking about 0057?
I'm off home, see you on the flipside...Go Raiders (how much does that stick in the throat?...), Go Eagles...

Appalling.. agreed, especially as I really, really wanted them to beat the Cowboys... oh well... all in the past... no sense being bitter
'Course, if you're off home now you might miss the next Q... still, BBS didn't participate much in this one eh?... best give the poor guy a chance

I'd be perfectly happy to see any of the four teams in the games win this weekend, save for the points at stake in the prediction compo...
Didn't both those interceptions go to the same putz, whose name escapes me, a man who signed an enormous contract somewhere other than the Cowboys and then promptly disappeared up his own wazoo, or am i imagining it?

Something tells me you are right... I wonder which numbskull of an organisation shelled out all that dosh on someone so blatently useless?

Well, the Silver and Black were in dire straights round about that time, weren't they?
I wish i could remember his name though...

FiedlersFizzle Posted Jan 17, 2003
Larry (Toast II perhaps) Brown...
You'd think with players like Haynes, Hayes and Woodson they'd no about good CB's... but Patterson and Brown, hmmm

That's him. Didn't he get the MVP award for the Superbowl as well - what a crock...
Still at least he didn't get nine years out of the NFL like Patterson. That *really* is shocking...

Looking through the Gamebook for the Titans-Raiders AFC championship game, I see that O'Donnell is the Titans backup QB ...
