On Thursday, Russell Wilson became the fastest quarterback ever to win 93 games. Don’t sprain your sockets rolling your eyes. Yes, that’s a questionable achievement. 93 is an ugly number and it doesn’t even possess the heroin chic of ugly numbers. 93 is not prime. Even my wife, modest fan of football, hater of math, couldn’t help but comment how arbitrary that particular statistic seemed. The fastest! Zuh? To 93! Oh. Quarterback wins! Cringe. Yet no stat may better capture Wilson’s greatness.
Quarterback wins may be the most openly reviled statistic, if one even deigns to call it that, in all of sports.
