Etc, etc...
-Cam Newton 2015 (7 starts, 7-0 Record): 54.2% Completion, 1,523 Yards, 7.1 YPA, 11 TD/8 INT, 78.1 QB Rating... 286 Rush Yards (4.5 YPC), 4 TD, 2 Fumbles Lost
-Defense: 10th Overall, 10th Scoring
-Tim Tebow 2011 (11 starts, 7-4 Record): 46.5% Completion, 1,729 Yards, 6.4 YPA, 12 TD/6 INT, 72.9 QB Rating... 660 Rush Yards (5.4 YPC), 6 TD, 6 Fumbles Lost
-Defense: 20th Overall, 24th Scoring
Now I am not saying their seasons are perfectly comparable (obviously), but I just want to point out that one of these QBs is getting MVP buzz (for some reason) while the other one pretty much never really played in the league again after that season, despite playing with a significantly lesser defense. Both winners, both with sub-par stats, yet completely difference reactions towards them.
