Tops in team history in completion percentage. #1 in LEAGUE history at the time of his retirement in 2010 at 66% - the NFL game has changed and he is now 10th only 13 years later with 8 of the 9 guys ahead of him starting their careers after he retired (the exception is Drew Brees, whose percentage increased in later years but was below Pennington's when he retired.)
