Part of that is true, no doubt...but some do tell you what the kid is made of.
Completion percentage isn't an all telling stat by any means as a singular entity, but when you take ypa and td:int and figure in comp% it will give you a good idea how impressive those numbers are.
Then you look at how those numbers changed once he faced better teams and you know more...then you dig a little deeper to see how he did in "clutch situations" and you get a better feel for indicators on how he will do at the next level.
Essentially, that's what the chart does and to discredit it is straight up silly
Also, I think Stanzi matches up well statistically to the better guys on that chart....but I digress.
