I don't know why people are still complaining about it. If you hate it you might start flying the banner to get Reid fired.

Yeah but your entire post is about something the YAC response wasn't talking about. The original point about the 25+ yard passes was to imply that Smith actually pushes the ball as much as the other QB's mentioned. The YAC comment was pointing out that having a 25+ yard pass play doesn't mean you actually were pushing the ball. Whether you like the style or not, which this post I quoted is talking about, doesn't really have to do with the YAC. What the actual 25+ yard stat actually represents and whether you like this style are two different things.
