 17  Wade Wilson      47   31    374   Atl  27  Rams 38   L

Total: 20 wins, 22 losses.  Take away the games in which both sides
passed for 300 yards and you get an 18-20 record when your QB gets
300 yards and the other guy doesn't.


And now, the 40+ attempt club (from the list above):

  3  Todd Marinovich  59   33    395   Rdrs 16  Clev 28   L
  5  Jim Kelly        48   25    306   Buf  10  Mia  37   L
  4  Chris Miller     48   30    351   Atl  31  Chi  41   L
 17  Wade Wilson      47   31    374   Atl  27  Rams 38   L
  8  Dan Marino       45   25    355   Mia  20  Ind  31   L
  6  Jim Kelly        45   26    302   Buf   3  Rdrs 20   L

 13  Jack Trudeau     41   26    337   Ind  16  Buf  13   W (OT)
  8  Warren Moon      40   27    342   Hou  26  Cin  10   W
  2  Jay Schroeder    40   25    380   Rdrs 21  Clev 24   L (OT)

Ay caramba!  I guess that's why they say that three things can happen
when you throw the ball, and two of them are bad.
