How happy would we be if we drafted a QB with the #1 pick and he had those statistics for a full decade?
As a comparison, Elway's career rating is 79.9, with 3021 yards, 16 TDs and 16 Ints. During his 11 years in Philly, Donovan McNabb's rating was 85.6. He averaged 3,390 yards, 20 TDs, and 9 Ints. Which guy would you rather have?

His fans were hung up on how he kept putting the offense on his back and carrying his overachieving teams to the superbowl.
I guess they, for some reason, probably thought that was better than pretty statistics.
