HOW?
Word who needs to keep track of unimportant stats like rebounds and steals, when we can use stats that are an aggregate of those, discounts them because reasons and adds arbitrary constants
at @Ain't That Something dappin this when he's arguing against this in this very thread.So we shouldn't attempt to judge impact with information that's more accurate, but instead use archaic measurements from a time when folk didn't have access and knowledge of what really impacts the game?

If the pass is ahead of the line of scrimmage there is a logical belief that the qb placed the ball in a position that the reciever could get yards after that reception
Nah breh, no way the qb should get credit for calculating a receiver would break 3 or 4 tackles and take to the house.
YAC (yard after catch) shouldn't count when calculating a quaterback yardage stats
Drop passes shouldn't count against a quaterback completion percentage
Add on
But should they not get credit for throwing a pass between zones on a slant in a spot only the wr can catch it and be able to run? Goes both ways breaughNah breh, no way the qb should get credit for calculating a receiver would break 3 or 4 tackles and take to the house.
I'll give you an example to marinate on:Yeah. Advanced stats are really telling.
I'll give you an example to marinate on:
player x has 12 rebounds in a game (only three of those rebounds were actually contested - the rest were when no opposition player was in the vicinity and/or either taken rebounds away from other teammates)
player y had 7 rebounds in a game (six of those rebounds were contested)
Who had more impact on the glass in that game? Furthermore does x player who grabbed 12 rebounds (three only being contested) have more impact on the game than a player that contested and altered more shots (shots that aren't counted as blocks), set more effective screens, dragged more defenders away from ball handlers by being active off the ball etc etc just because he had more rebounding #s?
