That was the only reason I made those comments
If anything, Dilfer and Eli prove Wilson is worth big money.
The stat with the highest correlation to winning NFL games is... QBPR, the team which wins this all important battle wins 80-85% of all games.
The team that wins passing yards win 50-55% of all games.
Volume does not produce winners, efficiency does.
Both Eli and Dilfer became far more efficient in the playoffs, they did not produce more volume, they became more efficient.
Both players in the 9 playoff games they won to reach the SB ave between them a QBPR of 99.9.
5 of the 9 games were over 100 QBPR, and just 2 of 9 games were under 80 QBPR.
Not sure about the SB itself, I don't have that handy but you can be sure it will tell the same story that passing efficiency wins games.
Passing volume did not produce winners for these 2 players, efficeincy did.
And what seperates Wilson from both these players by light-years, and the biggest reason Wilson has a great record as a starting QB is....he is one of the best at QBPR in history in the regular season.
The guy is a born winner, knows how to win, understands his strengths and weakness better than almost every QB, and knows how to use that to his advantage to win games.
