Is there proof that this statistical analysis is better correlated to how a quarterback contributes to his team? Because the guys on my list had the same or better careers in terms of wins?

The derivative formula of QB rating tells you nothing about how well a QB has played and how much he has contributed to wins as well as losses. At a minimum, you must at least look at the TDs to Picks ratio with a minimum of attempts. Better is to look at the double ratio of TDs + 1st Downs thrown to attempts in wins over INTs + incompletes to attempts in losses. For TDS, include both passing and running TDs. For attempts in wins, count passes and runs. Here's your true Top 10 of all-time. These players contributed most to their team wins and contributed least to their team losses: Steve Young Sonny Jurgensen Kurt Warner Peyton Manning Joe Montana Drew Brees Bob Griese John Brodie Brett Favre Dave Krieg Note: This list arises from regular season data only. Of course, everyone knows that Joe Montana gets the highest accolades for post-season (playoffs + Super Bowl) play, and deservedly so. This greatest QB list is a joke.
