Wins obviously matter, but using that as a qb stat just doesn't hold up.

win loss % absolutely is a QB stat. It's weighted by the strength of the surrounding team, but there's a reason stat sites list win loss records as a QB stat and not for other positions.
A quarterbacks decisions directly effect the way a game plays out.
I'm gonna try to find a stat on win% of quarterbacks in games they don't throw any picks, to quarterbacks that throw 1, then 2, etc.
I bet (without looking) that if a QB throws no interceptions in a game, his win % is close to 70% and it lessens significantly with each turnover.
I bet those same numbers don't correlate to number of deep throws a QB makes, but I'm not sure how I'd crunch those numbers.

He has had consistently strong running games throughout those periods, which for MOST QBs means you have a lot of play-action opportunities down the field - or at least take PA shots to make teams worry about giving up the long bomb if they suck up too much on run plays.
As for throwing deep more often... I will buy that 2014 was an outlier, but it's not like it hasn't been an issue throughout his recent, team-driven success. It has. Throwing deep 2.5 times a game is still not enough.
And yeah, he hit Avery deep a few times towards the end of 2013, but he has left a lot more of those throws on the field over the past two years than he has made.
That's why the coaches are constantly talking about getting him to let it rip.

You call people pointing to the OL as "an excuse" while ignoring how it CLEARLY effected his amount of throws over 21 yards in the air last year.
And I'm sorry, but when AJ Jenkins is one of your STARTING receivers, your receivers are unquestionable crap. It's not even debatable.
