There's no such thing as "garbage" production. There's just production. 

BTW, where are you getting the 3 for 16 stat? Just curious.

The QB rating stat may be flawed, but it's not "horribly" flawed. And, sure, it puts more weight on TDs, but if you think about it, games are decided by which team has the most POINTS, not which one had the most yards or the better completion percentage.

Also, allow me to point out that the creator of the QB rating forumla has stated that it was designed to judge QBs on full seasons worth of stats and not individual games or even stat splits like passes thrown over 40 yards in the air.

No, what it means is that points matter most, but that having a lot of yards and being efficient also play a part in being a "good" QB.

We just know that, without AJ Green, Dalton would be Blaine Gabbert on deep throws.

This just isn't true. Green has caught more passes in stride than he has made circus catches on deep passes thrown by Dalton. Green is also not the only WR that Dalton has thrown deep to so we already know that even without Green, Dalton would NOT be Blaine Gabbert on deep throws.
