I'd like the see the % of mutliple-interception losses in the playoffs versus all playoff appearances. For Peyton, Eli, Brady, etc

I would bet dollars to donuts that Manning's is much higher, despite being the most technically skilled QB of all time.
It would also be interesting to see what the correlation is between multiple interceptions thrown and passing attempts, rushing yards and time of possession.
If you have to throw, and the defense knows it, then they are probably going to be focused on stopping the pass first.
Solely focusing on the interceptions puts a bias on the statistical model.

Why not apply this same logic to Bradshaw? Obviously they were an incredible running team. Generally he was only asked to throw on 3rd and long. Wouldn't this negatively skew his stats?
We're getting back to my earlier point. There is no apples to apples. But people only point out the circumstantial difference when it benefits their argument.

Peyton consistently had awful defense in Indy, Eli has made the playoffs just once with a defense outside the top half of the league. That is another factor people ignore.
