The Myth of Joe Flacco
Interesting article from Bill Barnwell. He looks at the average win percentage based on what a team's defense allows, and compares it to how many games they actually won with each QB.
The point is that Flacco and Sanchez get credit for winning a lot of games early in their careers, but when compared with this metric, it has more to do with their defenses not allowing a lot of points. By comparison, Tom Brady and Peyton Manning won more games than expected based on their defenses, an average of 3 wins extra per season.
