It’s 2 separate data sets. What produces a quality QB in the NFL are skills that can be transferred to the NFL. Certain stats demonstrate those skills and Mahomes had those in abundance.
That, though, is different than how one analyzes different positions or groups. We had a great pass rush under Bob Sutton. But you know what? Pass rush does not win games. That used to be the case. it isn’t any longer. A better backfield is far more valuable than a better pass rush.
In the same way, RBs don’t win games any more. We have the best QB in the league, if not in league history. We should have such a lopsided run/pass balance that we can use UDFAs as RBs and save our draft choices for positions where we need them.
