The sample size they were using had the field somewhere in the neighborhood of 50-150 win loss record and a massive TD:INT deficiency while Pat had a 3:1 or better (if memory serves) win loss record and a huge TD:INT positive ratio.

I have to expect the article was linked somewhere here but it is a pretty massive difference. Damn it is great having the best football player on the planet!

Edit: Found the link. The stats are about half way down the article.

The highest passing totals are usually generated when a team is forced to play catch up after falling behind. So high passing totals are usually the RESULT of losing rather than losing being the result of high passing totals. Most teams don't throw the ball 50 times a game but you're going to see this change over the next few years.
