Dilfer had alot less attempts w/ 8 more td's but has 5 more picks.
I'd say its pretty close which is sad if you think about it.

From 1997:

Some dude from Jacksonville had a better year than either Brett Favre or John Elway. Well, I'll be.
By either metric, Dilfer's best year was a little bit worse than Gus Frerotte's year in 1997. He won ten games, but he also fumbled six times, and only lost one of them. Either way, Campbell's year was still pretty far above that sort of level of mediocre. Well, not far above, but clear enough for there to be little argument.
EDIT: For some fun trivial facts, check the last two players on that list.
