It's not so much that his passes don't get completed as much as it's the ball location. Part of the West Coast Offense is allowing your wide receivers to catch the ball and gain years after the catch. It's really hard to catch a ball thrown at your feet or when you have to slide and drop to your knees to make a catch. Sometimes that's the only place to put the ball, but notice a lot of low passes with McNabb, or passes that were thrown entirely too hard.

True, he doesn't throw an easy ball at all. Plus he often puts to much on short routine passes that don't require a high velocity throw. That's why his recievers drop so many passes.
