That's a different story.

I'm saying using win an losses to justify qb play is asinine

No it's not. Look at the list those with the best records are the usual suspects in the GOAT argument.

Qbs can win games by simply staying out of the way, and lose by playing a perfect game.

I think "staying away" is the wrong word to use. I don't think a conservative approach or "game management" (I hate the way that term is used) where the QB is going three and out all the time is going to work... especially in the playoffs.

But if a QB manages the game by moving the sticks consistently, setting up good field position, and turning it on in the 4th when the game is really on the line... I like that type of QB a lot better than a QB who can put up a lot of points early.

It's what enfuriates me about people knocking on really good game managers and also commenting on how guys like Eli and Flacco are a product of their supporting cast.
