I always figured it was yards, TDs, QB Rating.
If you wanted completions instead of QB Rating I feel like completion % would be much more likely than just raw completions. Joe Burrow led the NFL in Completion % in 2021, but he was tied for 11th in completions. Meanwhile that year Josh Allen was 6th in completions but 25th in completion %.
No, it isn't. QB Rating is a new stat (relatively). That is why it is not included.
BTW, Completion% is probably a better stat, but teams that throw less should be more efficient, that cuts both ways. But, since Burrow is not leading the league in Comp%, it is kind of weird you seemingly are trying to argue him out of it.
The Triple Crown, even in baseball, is just the counting stats: hits, HR, RBI. Originally, the hits leader won the batting title. Eventually, they changed to AVG.
QBR, QB Rating, yds per attempt, yds per completion, yards per reception, those are all advanced stats.
All of them are functions of frequency. Yards & TDs as well. And no one is saying a TC winner is necessarily the best QB, or most efficient. Those are different stats and a different conversation.
Even so, I'd argue it is harder to something when everyone knows it is coming. The factvthat Burrow is close on Comp% to guys on teams with running threats is amazing.
