"It's a very simple statement, but the quarterback needs to be accurate,'' said Payton, who has one of the NFL's most accurate passers in Drew Brees. "I don't want to hear about how he's going to become more accurate. Generally he's got to be someone who can target and find his throws and you don't want to be holding your breath in your 7 on 7's, with some guy throwing 50 percent. He needs to complete every ball (in those drills), with maybe one or two on the ground, that's it.''
Let's just say Stafford and Sanchez have some ground to make up in that department.

Huh?
Senior year completion percentage:
Flacco: 63.5%
Ryan: 59.3%
Stafford: 61.4%
Sanchez: 65.8%
Exactly in what way do Stafford and Sanchez have ground to make up?
