Really Passer Rating is time tested and has proven the best barometer out there. It's incomplete but generally a QB with a high passer rating IS playing well. The same cannot be said in (for example) ESPNs total QBR abomination.
All I'm saying is, the way that they judge QBs in the media, yards per pass seems to be what they look for.
Rogers, Luck, Roethlisberger, all of these guys have huge YPP.... West Coast QBs typically don't, and they get labeled as game managers.
I agree with you passer rating is time tested, but just saying the average viewer judges QBs on their YPP.
