Explain how you do that, please. I'm skeptical.
In order to prove this, you'd have to assign some arbitrary weight as percentage to both the Redkins "support package" and the Colts support package. And, if you were able to do this, you could get a very accurate grade of the quarterback's performance isolated from other factors.
I don't believe you can do it.
How do you grade interceptions, for example. Suppose a QB has 17 for the year. It seems to me that to grade fairly, we need to know when and how they happened. If his team was poor defensively, and their opponents ran out to big leads, then we'd need to make an adjustment to that number for the Hail Marys and other INTs thrown in desperate situations.
If his coach liked to go deep often, or his receivers didn't fight for passes, or if his offensive line didn'tprotect him...all of these things and others would factor into his total.
So, if A represents INTs that are primarily the fault of the QB, then the equation is:
A + B + C + D + E = 17 What's the value of A?

Nice job Huddle, don't get to worked up in the argument though, guy's who put all their stock in stats usually can't break the game down, they know what they believe, don't confuse them with reality.
