I will never understand the fascination with this statistic.

All it means is that the QB in question didnt have his team in the lead to begin with, therefore it wouldn't be a "telling" stat on who is better than who.

Seriously, are we really going to say that QB X was better than QB Y, when QB Y had his team ahead the whole time? It seems that is what that comes down to.

Guys like Young, Montana, Bradshaw and even Manning never got as many chances to "come from behind", because they had their teams well ahead to begin the 4th Q. Something, I would think, is a much better way to judge a QB on since a football game isnt one quarter long, its 4.
