Nice job, Josh. From a historical standpoint its about as close as you are going to get.Including all games, regular season and playoffs, up to the end of Week 4, 2015, here is the list for the current 32 starting QBs in the NFL applying @robertweathers pts system, sorted by most pts per QB start.
Expanding it for more details,
NOTES:
For rushing TD, I used the games in which that QB started to determine the total (sum of all team rush TD in those QB starts), since there is no data on which QB hands the ball on each RB carry, so there might be a few missing (if the QB didn't start) or in excess( if was QB start, but was benched at the moment).
Error is probably low for usual starters and franchise QBs.
The same reasoning applies for total first downs.
The rest of the data is accurate: total QB starts & record, game-winning drives, pass TD and turnovers (INT thrown by QB + fumble lost by QB).
For example, Brady offenses have 21 more rushing TDs than Manning offenses. Why is TB penalized for that? He could have called a game-changing audible or used it to set up the next call?
Statistically speaking, if you remove winning from the equation Brady is not #1 on this list.
A QB needs to win. If he doesn't win he sits and your analysis shows that TB12 does it better than anyone.
