QB Completion Percentage Article
Excellent article on the importance of a college QB's completion percentage and how that translates to the pro game.
The article also mentions Marc Trestman's four qualities that he looks for in a QB.
In comparing Trent Edwards to the qualities I see a need for improvement in the #3 areas, specifically the ability to sidestep pressure and throwing on the move.
There is also a JP Losman reference in the article.

Incredible list of bust QBs who didn’t have a 60% completion rate in their last season.
Don’t sweat the petty things. Don’t pet the sweaty things.
He uses completion percentage in college to project failure at the pro level.
First round QBs under 60% in college have less than favorable chances of success.
Bills QBs of note:
JP Losman: 59% in college
Trent Edwards: 59%
Jim Kelly: 63%
Playing Realistic Optimist at Buffalo Rumblings since 2008. Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free.
Damn
I wanted to argue that these stats applied only to 1st rounders. But looking at some of the current elites in the NFL it still holds
Tom Brady: 62.3% completion percentage in college
Peyton Manning: 62.85%
Ben Roethlisberger : 65.5%
Keeping it local, University of Buffalo’s Drew Willy career completion percentage : 63.8%
