QBR explicitly discounts YAC EPA vs Air EPA. I think it also underrates Jimmy because his YAC isn't as much variance as some others. Shanahan has designed this offense to generate a higher proportion of YAC, which means it's more stable. It also looks less impressive from a "big-time throw" perspective, and those throws drive *a lot* of the PFF pass grading. (Too much, imo)

That’s a good point about YAC being more stable in the Shanahan offense. The high YAC throws Jimmy makes are often intentionally designed for that purpose, compared to say Baker Mayfield’s big YAC plays earlier this year which felt totally random.
Is it fair to say that our current QB stats aren’t really equipped to measure the QB contribution in the Shanahan offense?
