He won 20 games 6x to Ryan's twice (Palmer did it 8 times). Who helped their team win ballgames to a greater extent in their prime? It's not even a contest.

That's just my view of it in the lens of who I grew up watching. Nolan definitely has legendary status much like Bo Jackson. They are folk heroes in my eyes.
