I thought it would go down about 20% with 35+ attempts so 10% is acceptable if he can maintain that over the course of the season.

I understand that, I just posted what I read in the comments of an article.
As for the number of attempts, it was acted like 30 was a magical number and I simply said coming into the season that passing a lot wasn't gameplanned before, it was, in general, only used in catchup where prior mistakes cost them the game, not anything to do with number of attempts.
He wouldn't necessarily be asked to do much more in difficulty from passing more, so why a big plummet prediction some had? Defenses can creep in due to short passes and know that Reid likes to pass, but production should be in the range. And it has been rating wise with totals going up (obviously with quantity of throws increasing). YPA is down but increasing each game so far. Completion won't be 70 but may go up over time.
I meant to come back to the board closer to your post, but got busy.
