1) 56.9% after 16 seasons
2) 60.8% so far after 6 seasons.
The first one's John Elway and second is Jason Campbell. So tell me now, how useful are these stats (just on their own) when determining playing ability and potential?

Very, if you know what you are doing and can use them responsibly.
So to you, they're basically useless.
