While Cam was probably top Madden NFL 18 Coins

Ben and Matt Ryan have the benefit of being in amazing offensive systems that allow them thrive. Ryan's also benefiting from some recency bias here, he was probably on the other side of top 10 on this poll last year, while Cam was probably top Madden NFL 18 Coins.

This year, Ryan plays amazing and jumps some guys he probably shouldn't, while the Panthers have a rough year and Cam falls back to around where he should be.

The one thing they have over Russ is seniority, in 3 to 4 years there'll be at least a couple seats vacant at the big boys table and if we can get him an o-line it'll be Russell's turn and hopefully there'll be even more reasons for the haters to hate.

Prefacing this with I think Wilson is an amazing QB, but there is a flaw with your analysis: you are measuring primarily ratios rather than volume. Honestly, if you talk elite QBs you are talking about QBs who carry their teams.

In contrast, the 5 QBs on the "elite" list all have really strong ratios and volume stats. To keep up the ratios while increasing the volume is important; stats often don't increase in a linear fashion.

For way of example, lets look to the NBA. Tell me which player you think is the better scorer.

If stats scaled in a linear fashion with increased volume, you would say player A. But they don't. How do we know this, well Player A is Lou Williams and Player B is Lebron. Nobody thinks Lou Williams is a better scorer than Lebron.

This isn't to say ratios don't have a place. I wouldn't say Stafford is elite because he chucks the ball 500 times to rack up significant yardage and Cheap NFL 18 Coins. A better analysis would consider both ratio stats and counting stats.
