The point is, Elway only once led the NFL in anything and that was passing yards. His MVP season of 1987 he didn't even finish in the top 10 of some categories. He's in because he played in 5 Super Bowls.
Because Stafford basically missed his first two seasons in the NFL. Stafford was at least at one point the all time leader in yards per game. Matt Ryan has played over 40 more game than Stafford and averages fewer yards per game than Stafford.
I know it's the AFC, but Andy Dalton made the Pro Bowl in 2011 with 3,400 yards, 20-16 TD/INT and a sub 60% completion. Stafford throws for over 5k yards and 41 TDs and can't even make alternate.
Cam Newton made the Pro Bowl over Stafford despite Stafford being better than Newton in every statistical category except for rushing and the Lions had a better record and made the playoffs. I think with Stafford's case the fact that he immediately won a Super Bowl upon leaving the Lions are going to make people re-evaluate his Detroit years and realize he was better than he got credit for and got snubbed for a Pro Bowl or two.
There would have been a lot more workers fucked over if the railroad workers went on strike. I also seem to recall the majority of Democrats voted to add sick pay and it was the Republicans who voted against it.
Matthew Stafford once threw for 5,000 yards and 41 TDs and still couldn't make the Pro Bowl. He made the Pro Bowl in 2014 which was one of his worst years. Pro Bowls aren't a great measurement. I mean, Goff has two Pro Bowls under his belt.
