So you don't see any difference in the "skill and merit" of Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, and Kurt Warner when compared to Mark Sanchez, Jay Fiedler, Matt Moores, Trent Dilfer, Donald Hollis, Kyle Orton, and Gale Gilbert?
Doen't one of those groups seem extremely more skilled than the other? So why are the more skilled QBs so much worse than the crappy ones when converting 3rd-and-25? Shouldn't it be the other way around if converting a 3rd-and-25 is all about skill?
