I agree/w this. QB W/L record really isn’t a great indicator of their performance, especially when they have such poor talent along the OL and key areas.
Kinda like a pitcher’s W/L record.
He’s going to have the best team he’s ever had this year, granted he isn’t suspended
I have said for years if a QB throws for 400 yards and 4 TDs, the last TD with 50 seconds left on the game to go ahead 38-34 and the defense gets torched for a last minute score and loses 41-38, he does not get credit for a game winning drive. If the defense picks off a pass for the win, the same QB gets credit for a last minute game-winning drive and is hailed wihtout doing anything differently. A lot of Qbs get reputations for being 4th quarter gamers. Two years ago when Baker beat Cincinnati with 11 seconds left on the pass to DPJ, he was hailed. Joe Burrow , who completed a go ahead TD pass with less than a minute to go in the same game (at least I think is was less than a minute) gets very little mention. I think wins are not always the best way to determine that. If QB wins by 17 points but the D forces 3 TOs, 2 of which lead directly to TDs and special teams block a punt or returns a kick for a TD, the QB could play a very pedestrian game, but hey, he won the game.
Referring to the "drive game" the Browns held Elway's offense to 13 points for 55 minutes. IF Bernie had produced and the lead was 28 or 31-13 Elway leaves that game a loser. Dam Marino never won a Super BOwl and only played in one IIRC, but he was amazing. JUst soem thoughts I have always had on QBs and how they are looked upon.
