The fact he’s the only QB in NFL history to have just 12 INT in his first 1000 passes gives me a ton of confidence we drafted the right QB.  

and to think 2 of those were on tipped balls caught by the defender tipping the ball, which are still INTs, but not in the traditional bad throw sense.

I may be reading the stat wrong, but I think its over ANY consecutive 1,000 passes. For Caleb, it's his first. But if im reading it right, it's even more impressive.

And last year you had people saying Caleb should trhow more interceptions - probably the same ones who thought he never should have thrown the TD to Moore this week.

When I look it up that way, Rodgers has a couple of spans with an INT rate below 1.0% with over 1000 attempts (which would imply less than 10 INTs in 1K). Brady has a few as well.

However, when I do over 1K Passing Attempts, with an INT Rate of 1.2% or lower, to start a career, the only name that shows up is Caleb's:

Even though Rodgers has the career best INT Rate of 1.432% of any QB with over 2,500 attempts, Brissett is fractionally better than Rodgers at 1.397% with way fewer attempts. So now that Williams is over 1K, there really is no comparison because it took Brissett 6 years to get to his 1K passing attempts, where he had 14 INTs in those first 1K. Brissett has basically maintained that pace up to his current 2,147 attempts, now with 30 INTs. 

Williams is at 1.175% with 12 INTs in 1,021 attempts. So he technically could throw 17 in his next 1,126 attempts and still be the best.
