FWIW: I don't measure quarterbacks on titles I measure them on performance, titles are lagniappe to their case because of how complete team-oriented the sport of football truly is and no one plays 2 ways anymore, legendary QBs can be nullified by putrid defenses and that's why I think we shouldn't strictly measure them by titles

Agreed to a point.

I think you can look at performance to categorize a QB as good, bad, elite, HOFer, legendary, etc. But if I'm trying to differentiate between two guys who are close, it's really, really hard not to look at titles. The name of the game is to win championships.

But what if one QB has a worse defense or worse running game or worse HC or worse other things and, on that account, don't win or advance to the playoffs or SB more than the other but by every metric and intangible is a better QB? It's not so black or white, bro, there's nuance to this. On the surface, I'm not buying your point, you're gonna have to provide comparable examples to illustrate it. FWIW I'm not minimizing the point of the game but it's such a team game that's patently unfair to penalize QBs for stuff that's beyond their control like DEFENSE.
