Did Jered Weaver have a better season than Justin Verlander?

Justin Verlander won the AL Cy Young and MVP awards, but one could argue that Jered Weaver had a better year. Now, don't get me wrong--if I had an MVP vote or Cy Young vote, both would have gone to Verlander. What follows is a sort of devil's advocate argument in favor of Weaver.
Verlander had 4.9 Win Probability Added in 2011, a great total. Over the last 3 years, only 3 AL pitchers have racked up more WPA, but one of them was Jered Weaver in 2011, who had 5.2:

Rk	Player	WPA	Year	Tm
1	Zack Greinke	5.830	2009	KCR
2	Jered Weaver	5.209	2011	LAA
3	Jonathan Papelbon	4.976	2009	BOS
4	Justin Verlander	4.919	2011	DET
5	Felix Hernandez	4.840	2010	SEA
6	Joakim Soria	4.542	2010	KCR
7	Justin Verlander	4.359	2009	DET
8	Dan Haren	4.298	2011	LAA
9	Rafael Soriano	4.263	2010	TBR
10	James Shields	4.224	2011	TBR

Verlander edged Weaver in ERA, 2.40 to 2.41. However, most folks these days put more emphasis on runs allowed, as opposed to earned runs. Weaver allowed just 2 unearned runs; Verlander allowed 6.

Weaver's actual W-L record was 18-8. Verlander's was 24-5 but his neutralized record was 18-8, the same as Weaver's actual record.

Verlander had the benefit of a better bullpen behind him, including Jose Valverde, Joaquin Benoit, and Al Alburquerque. Weaver had a weaker bullpen, with a worse closer in Jordan Walden, and only Scott Downs putting together a really good year.

Now, these arguments are pretty much all I can find in favor of Weaver. In pretty much everything else, Verlander blows him (and everyone else) away.
