Quarterback wins are not a stat. They never have been.
Sure, you’ll see rankings of “quarterback wins” pop up on on-screen graphics during football games. Or perhaps they’ll be the subject of a rousing, manufactured debate between a pair of talking screaming heads on morning sports radio/television.
But ultimately, they are a near-useless metric for evaluating the quality of the player or his performances. And Super Bowl LII once again provided us with overwhelming evidence of that fact.
First and foremost, all the credit in the world to Nick Foles for playing his heart out over the last month and a half and for putting together a performance in the Super Bowl that got him a well-earned game MVP award, and to the Eagles as a whole for some inspired football throughout the entire season.
