I think it's a great comparison. You have one guy doing most of the heavy lifting with an above average cast around him. You have another guy with a HoF starting offensive line, two HoF WR's, a HoF RB and still was an awful passer.
But, judging them by winning, Bradshaw whips Elway.
Ergo judging a QB by winning is the laziest thinking ever. Judging someone by stats alone is not much better, but it's better.
