All of those screen plays in Philly with Westbrook taking it for 10-15 yds really helped his completion percentage.

I used to kind of think the same way, but the last 4-5 yrs in Philly changed my mind w/ DM. He's never been the most accurate guy. He's a big, mobile, shifty QB, who can make big plays for your team if the offense is built around him. Think of the #'s he's put up for many years w/ no weapons aside from Westbrook.
Now you could make the argument that he's on the wrong side of 30 and he's not going to be able to rely on his mobility as he used to, making him an "average" qb. I still think he's got some good years given some playmakers and oline.
