but averaging 12.2 yards per attempt, for more than a 2 game stretch in the season, is amazing...especially with that 50 throw 350 yarder game...

No. It means that 39.5% were off-target or uncatchable. That doesn't mean every other one was caught. In fact, it says 40.1% were caught. That means around 20% of the catchable ones were not hauled in.
