I don't agree with this at all. All NFL QBs are expected to produce at a high level. Their salaries take into account way too many other variables. (Age, when they were drafted, contract negotiations, etc...) Eli just got paid a ridiculous amount of money. Does anyone expect him to outperform Drew Brees?? No. Tom Coughlin doesn't expect that, but he wanted to keep Eli so he had to pay him.


I was just pointing to the fact that Brees far exceeded what was expected of him while Manning performed as expected.

However, I think QB rating is an overrated stat but, unfortunately, it's the best single stat out there to judge a QB by.
QB Rating compared to Salary

Since "VALUABLE" is part of the award's name, then shouldn't performance related to value actually mean something? Peyton is on the trendline which means he performed as expected while Brees far exceeded what's expected for his salary range.
