Found this through a google (weird) and had a good laugh over it. Thought I'd share.

WHOA Trent PWNED Brady - check it out - Buffalo Bills Forums
Umm yes actually he did HANDILY out-play Tom Brady. If you extrapolate Trent's numbers across the same number of plays, the comparison would look like this:
Trent: 32/53 (15/25 = 60% | 32/53 = 60%) 450 yards (8.5 ypa x 53 attempts); 4 TDs (53 attempts / 12.5 attempts per TD); 0 ints
Brady: 39/53 378 yards; 2 TDs; 1 int
This extrapolation was based on the individual passing statistics listed on espn:
Buffalo Bills vs. New England Patriots - Box Score - September 14, 2009 - ESPN
Surely you would recognize that the quarterback with substantially more attempts would have more yardage and TD opportunities. So if you apply Trents actual numbers across the same numbers of attempts, you can make a very reasonable argument that Trents actual numbers were FAR more impressive than Tom Brady. So yea, the rating was in this case a very accurate indicator of performance for those two QBs. But thanks for playing.
Also, if you think Trent wasn't looking down field enough, we can observe the comparison between yards per *completion*:
Trent: 212 yards/15 completions = 14.1 yards per completion (which is effing RIGHTEOUS)
Brady: 378 yards /39 completions = 9.7 yards per completion (good but not Trent Edwards good)
This guy's response was priceless.
WHOA Brian Moorman PWNED Drew Brees last season. To compare apples to apples, i extrapolated Moorman's stats so they are equal to Brees and here's what you get.
2008 Drew Brees:
Brees - 413/635, 5,069 yards, 34 TD, 17 INT
While this may be good, he's nowhere near the QB that moorman is, especailly when you extrapolate the stats.
2008 Brian Moorman:
635/635, 12,065 yards, 635 TDs, 0 INTs
