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.

I don't disagree with you.

But if it makes my point resonate a little bit more, there is a pretty clear correlation between YPP and passer rating.

Just look at the stats so far this season.

I mean, its pretty intuitive that QBs with a longer YPP would have a higher rating, I just think when an offense is clicking the team has high YPP. It's less about the QB and more about the offense as a whole.
