I never changed anything. Instead I posted these stats to prove that converting a 3rd-and-25 has very little to do with the QBs "action and merit"

Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers, Kurt Warner, and Drew Brees did it ZERO times in FIFTY-FIVE combined attempts, but Mark Sanchez, Donald Hollis, Kyle Orton, Matt Moore, Jay Fiedler, and Gale Gilbert did it 6 times in just 21 attempts
If it is all about "merit" then how do you explain these numbers.
