QB "B" has 474 att 288 comp with a 60.8% and has 3,692yds / 14 ints
Now by looking at this you will see that QB "B" had less att but he had more ints and about 25 more yds a game.It looks like QB "A" turned the ball over less therefore putting his team in a better position to win and had a higher comp% so he would seem to be more accurate if you go by the comp%. The only difference is that QB "B" had 28 TD's and QB "A" had 13 TD's and QB "B" went 14-2 and won the SB while QB "A" went 8-8 and missed the playoffs.
These are the numbers of 2004 brady and the 2008 JC. So again stats dont tell the whole story. There are many variables that are either added or taken away that will prove or disprove whatever the provider is trying to accomplish. So lets just stick with the W's and the L's which in the end are all that really matter.

You do realize, that if you had left the TD line in the initial stats, that qb B would have been seen as the better choice for the qb right. Comparable TD/INT rate(about 50%), but more production, higher yards/attempt. Stats don't tell the whole story but deceptive use, or less than full disclosure, often is why they don't.
