I'd argue YPP measures largely offensive line performance and what you do with those yards per play measures QB performance with skilled positions players contributing to both.

Well if you don't trust PFF, then here is ESPNs pass block win rate for everyone but the LT.
For all interior offensive lineman:
Joe Thuney - #1 98% win rate
Creed Humphrey - #5 96% win rate
Trey Smith - #12 95% win rate
This is for tackles:
Jawaan Taylor - #13 92% win rate
Both PFF and ESPN have 4/5 of our offensive lineman ranked very high in pass blocking. Mahomes is responsible for more pressure than a lot of people want to admit.
