I, too, am tired of that stat. The fact is, most quarterbacks lose facing those odds.
Aaron Rodgers - 12-23
Matt Stafford - 7-22
Eli Manning - 18-44
Ben Roethlisberger - 7 - 25
Obviously, there are guys that are going to have better numbers if they played on teams that lit the scoreboard up. Tom Brady has something like a 31-31 record in this column because he's had both good defenses and great offenses. Some teams rely on good defense and don't build their teams to win by outscoring the opponent in a shootout. Alex Smith has played on one of those teams for his entire career. Hell, look at Eli's numbers. That's a HORRIBLE stat line...no one would bitch if we brought him in. I'm not saying that Alex Smith is half of what Eli Manning is, but I'm pointing out that this stat is more of a reflection of the way that the team is built, rather than the quarterback.

Maybe this will shut some people up.
