I think informed fans know that wins of course are a team stat.
But I think wins (along with SB rings) also are a much better way than stats to compare quarterback greatness to QBs in different eras. Stats are merely a product of the rules of the game that favor passing. Tom Brady "winning" all those games means he beat other teams whose QB also benefited from the same rules. That levels the playing field.
And Brady has won in different eras of the sport, before and after the Polian rule changes. And he has the stats too.
That's pretty freaking awesome.
