There's not really an equivalent. Kershaw doesn't just put up "great" numbers. He is the best pitcher of his generation, bar none. He's led the league in ERA 5 times, strikeouts 3 times, WHIP 4 times, H/9 3 times, etc. He's won 3 Cy Youngs and 1 MVP. He is in the discussion for greatest pitcher of all time. In fact, he has the highest ERA+ of any starting pitcher in MLB history.
Rivers is like, okay, I guess. He's led the league in yards once, touchdowns once, and interceptions twice. LOL. He's won zero MVPs. He's certainly not the most dominant QB of his generation, let alone in the discussion for greatest QB of all time.
I understand what you're saying, but it's not really an accurate comparison.
