The truth derivated from a QB rating shall not be overrated though. I feel it usually is.
QB rating wouldn't be overrated if it backed your view. Just stop.

Just look at the difference in passer rating for Big Ben during the Arians era and the Haley era.
I went ahead and ran the numbers. Gruden's system did feature more short passing. However, Palmer did not pass deep more often than Dalton in the years I looked at (2012 and 2013 for Dalton, 2015 and 2016 for Palmer). Deep to most people is over 20 yards. In the Air Coryell system, it seems the sweet spot is 11-20 yards. Mid-range throws. Palmer did throw a significantly higher percentage of these throws than Dalton, BUT...
Dalton had his highest passer rating on such throws, at a 94.6...which was higher than his rating on short throws. So how does the WCO help again?
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
