That's 24 teams during the Browning era with statistically better defenses but equal or worse records. These teams included numerous QBs who were NFL prospects, draftees or signees.

Were all of these QBs equal or worse than Browning?

I detecting some circular logic here: Browning sucks because, despite his stats, the eye test tells you he's not a legitimate NFL prospect. But other NFL draftees/signees, who had better defenses than Browning but won less, actually sucked equally or more? What is the bar for not sucking?
