Yep, yards per attempt! I think you have finally found the stat that proves eliteness! Fitzpatrick is #4, Sanchez #6, Hoyer #9.
Football stats aren't an exact science.)
Not only that but just that one stat alone does not say everything. Yes Fitz was 4th in YPA but he also only had a 2-1 td.int ratio. Sanchez was #6 but he had 1-1 td/int ratio, Hoyer was #9 but he had a .9-1 td/int ratio and completd only 55% of his passes.
Now lets look at others, lets add the ones below an Elite HOF QB, and the 2 young guns
Manning #5 7.92 YPA, 2.5-1 td/int ratio 66% complt
Luck #7 7.73 YPA, 2.5-1 td/INT ration
Wilson #8 7.69 YPA, 2.9-1 td/int ratio, 63% complt%
Hmm those sound pretty elite numbers
Now lets take it one step further on as far as YPA and other stats and go career for all those QBs we mentioned
Fitz Career YPA 6.6, 1.2-1 td/int ratio, Complt% 60, QB rating 79
Sanchez Career YPA 6.67, 1-1 td/int ratio, Complt% 56, QB rating 74
Hoyer Career YPA 7.23, 1-1 TD/INt ratio, Complt % 57, qb rating 77
Manning Career YPA 7.7, 2.4 td/int ration, Complt % 65, 97 QB rating
Luck Career YPA 7.15, 2-1 TD/INt ratio, Complt% 58, QB rating 87
Wilson Career YPA 7.95, 2.8-1 td/int ratio, Complt% 63, QB rating 98.6
Hmm let me help your the top 3 all go together
the 4th and 6th go together and the 5th is betting there.
Only 2 QBs have a complt% over 61 Wilson and Manning
only 2 qb have a better than 2.1-1 td/int ration Wilson and Manning
Only 2 Qb have YPA over 7.5 Wilson and Manning
Only 2 1bs have Qb rating over 90 Wilson and Manning
So much for stats, in all the efficiency numbers Wilson is elite. Stats do not say everything, but they sure say a lot. You couple these stats, with Wilsons ability to make plays, Rush, and just plain win and you have an Elite QB. And remember he has done this without a #1 Wr, and an oline that is even avg in pass blocking, and in a run first offense, playing the most top passing defenses in the league. Now imagine what he could do in a passing offense, with an avg pass blocking oline and a true #1 wr, and facing a few less top pass defenses like most of the other Elite QBs have.
