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.
Fitzpatrick, Sanchez and Hoyer were all in the top 9 in yards per attempt last year. :snark:
Passer rating is much better because it's comprehensive. It accounts for YPA in addition to several other categories including TD's and INT's.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
