He does get that excuse. I just feel these excuses often are forgotten when people say "QB A is better than QB B because of passer rating". The QB rating doesn't so much say "good QB" as "good QB in a good offense". With good recievers, a good line... all that.
That the QB rating is flawed in itself is also often forgotten when comparing these numbers. Cam used to run for a ton of yards and TDs, but as far as I understand the QB rating formula doesn't account for that.
Which makes up for my initial point, proving that good Andy/bad Andy is just a myth using QB ratings numbers seems like a stretch.
