Ok for my bordem here at work and for D22's information, I took 4 Qb's that have been considered top 5 or so for the last 5 years since 2003, I took there number of throws 10 yards or less and their throws over 31 yards in the air, then I took the pct of how many attempts they have and then I have the results. Comments welcome.

Percentage of 31 yards + throws 3.92%
Now as we look at this for 10 yards and under favre has a higher pct than any of them with 68% hasselbeck is the next most dink and dunker with 65%Brady and manning are almost identical with around 64%. 31+ yards in the air Brady leads the way with 5.21%, favre is second with 5.2%, manning is 3rd with 4.3%, and hasselbeck is last with 3.92%. These are facts from the splits page on espn, these are for the last 5 years, if there is any Qb, D would like me to do, I will, but this should put the dink and dunk crap to rest.
