Jalen really has been at his worst, when it counted the most. Your stats are a painful example of that.
I agree with everything you said expect this part.
--Total stats don't really do much but muddle the arguments, because we are able to overwhelm 75% of our schedule. --
Each one of the QB's played on elite teams and in a championship game; so the team aspect was a fair comparison, each one of those teams could roll 75% of their schedule. That's just my opinion and really is just splitting hairs, but hey, this is a message board and that's just what we do.
I was truly trying to be objective and let the numbers tell the story. It was eye opening when the numbers started netting out that Jalen and Jordan Jefferson were so damn similar. Overall it did leave me with the perspective that it is 100% fair to say that Jalen is being overvalued because of the win-loss record and that the overall team is more important to his success than vice versa.

I agree with you - I just think it's easier to look at the set of facts that are at issue. Either way, Jalen is what he is. And at this point he has a pretty large body of work (overall, vs bad teams, vs good teams) and he compares "favorably" to guys throughout history who we would all kind of go "meh" to.
