To see just how dominant Brady and Smith have been this season, take a look at the chart below. The chart shows two of the most important stats for a quarterback: 1) The number of yards their teams gain every time they throw the ball (Y-axis, using adjusted yards per attempt); and 2) The difference between the number of touchdowns they throw and the number of interceptions (X-axis, using touchdown-to-interception ratio). In the chart, dominance increases from the bottom-left to the upper-right.
While most quarterbacks are clustered together in the same area, Brady and Smith are off to the side by themselves (min. 4 starts).
