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.
I agree, I just like rattling the cages of Favre/Elway fans. They seem to be the primary proponents.
