Oh, and I'm in total agreement.

When theres a small gap in talent between two teams excluding the QB, then a great QB (inferior team) should be able to beat a bad QB (superior team) a majority of time.

But think about it: if you are looking at the total package, QBs and all, is the team with the great QB really inferior? Probably not. If the gap in QB skill is big enough, then they probably have the better team.

I think you are making it sound like that you have a football team...and then you have your quarterback variable. Of course, the QB is part of the football team, and you really can't analyze the accomplishments of the team without including the QB, and vice versa.
