but does anywhere track the stats from the plays that were called back by penalty.? for the offensive side of the ball Like QB A has 220 yards 2 TDs 1 Pick stat line
But had 75 yards 2 TDs etc called back by penalty?
I don't think it does any good to keep track of offensive yards wiped out by penalties because many times the offense would not have gained those yards if there was no penalty. For example a QB may have a long pass called back because of a holding penalty, but if his blocker did not hold he might have been sacked instead of completing the long pass.
But nothing is more frustrating than having a play called back due to a penalty that had not effect on the play. Like an illegal block 5 yards behind the ball carrier. That happens a lot of kick and punt returns.
