Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers, Kurt Warner, and Drew Brees did it ZERO times in FIFTY-FIVE combined attempts, but Mark Sanchez, Donald Hollis, Kyle Orton, Matt Moore, Jay Fiedler, and Gale Gilbert did it 6 times in just 21 attempts
So obviously it is about skill, and luck has nothing to do with it.
The problem with these generic numbers you keep throwing around is that they don't offer situational breakdowns. Where did each instance occur on the field? At what point in the game? What was the score? How had the offense and opposing defense been playing up to that point? How many came close to converting? How many didn't make a real effort?
Without knowing those details...the numbers don't really mean anything because there's absolutely no context for for how the situation affected the approach and the outcome.
