OK. Just for perspective, here are the players with the top 10 ANY/A from 2000-2011 (Minimum 300 attempts):
Peyton Manning 2004 IND
Aaron Rodgers 2011 GB
Tom Brady 2007 NE
Drew Brees 2009 NO
Philip Rivers 2009 SD
Tom Brady 2010 NE
Tom Brady 2011 NE
Drew Brees 2011 NO
Philip Rivers 2008 SD
Peyton Manning 2005 IND

15 of the top 100 made the Super Bowl (compared to 6 RBs).
The 6 that won the Super Bowl were:
Drew Brees 2009 NO
Peyton Manning 2006 IND
Aaron Rodgers 2010 GB
Eli Manning 2011 NYG
Tom Brady 2004 NE
Brad Johnson 2002 TB

74 made the playoffs (compared to 47 RBs).

7 of them had losing records:
Trent Green 2004 KC 7-9
Elvis Grbac 2000 KC 7-9
Matt Schaub 2010 HOU 6-10
Aaron Rodgers 2008 GB 6-10
Jeff Garcia 2000 SF 6-10
Brian Griese 2004 TB 5-11
Kyle Orton 2010 DEN 4-12

Again, there were 2 guys that won 10 games and missed the playoffs:
Josh Freeman 2010 TB
Trent Green 2005 KC

So, basically, the top ANY/A guys were about twice as likely to be on good teams as the top Rushing Yard guys over the past 11 seasons.
