3 is unlikely. But even giving you that, 5 passing attempts on 3rd and short would still be multiples less than any example you were able to come up with...
Bradford... 48 attempts on 3rd and long, 12 on 3rd and short (3.83 to 1)
Brees........59 attempts on 3rd and long, 16 on 3rd and short (3.69 to 1)
Rogers..... 48 attempts on 3rd and long, 16 on 3rd and short (3 to 1)
Brady........56 attempts on 3rd and long, 22 on 3rd and short (2.55 to 1)
Tebow......43 attempts on 3rd and long, 2 on 3rd and short ( 21.5 to 1)
Beantown's fantasy
Tebow......43 attempts on 3rd and long, 5 on 3rd and short (8.6 to 1)
Pretty obscene any way you slice it.
