try something like football outsiders' DYAR rating (This gives the value of the quarterback's performance compared to replacement level, adjusted for situation and opponent and then translated into yardage.) his highest was 8th this past year.

Talk about cherry picking...
I don't think anyone would argue that QB rating is perfect, but made up stats don't count. How about we stick to something simple, like
winning. Who had more wins than Big Ben in their first 5 years in the league? Oh, that's right...no one in history. Sorry, I'll take the guy who wins games and has two Super Bowl rings over some
very obscure stat any day. It's interesting that a stat like that would have also been very unkind to another all-time great - John Elway. All he did was win games too.
By the way, if you like made up stats, you could always go with KWP, which has Big Ben as the 17th best QB in history.
