Reply to comment by therealfatmike in [OC] Correlation between heigh and performance of NFL Quarterbacks in 2022 by Exiled_From_Twitter

No, it's ADJUSTED Net Yards / Attempt. It takes into account sacks, sack yards, touchdowns, and interceptions. You could include rushing numbers (attempts, yds, TD's, and fumbled) too but it would not alter this. ANYA is a fantastic little metric that highly correlates to winning.

ANY/A - adjusted net yards per passing attempt: (pass yards + 20*(pass TD) - 45*(interceptions thrown) - sack yards)/(passing attempts + sacks)

There's still SO much more to QB performance imo.

I am aware of how it's calculated. As mentioned, there's a very high correlation between winning and ANYA. Even higher when you look at it by game.

I'm not saying it's the end all be all, there's not one, but it's REALLY good. The point is though, I could use any number of very good advanced metrics and come up with the same results. Height does not impact performance at this level.

Ehh, your showing the range of heights of current QBs. There's a reason that range is so narrow. I don't see any 5'6" guys or 7 footers. I would say this is proof that height is extremely impactful.

Please read my title. I did not insinuate that height could NEVER have an influence on NFL QB's. But this all stems from Bryce Young being a bit on the short side and every single time a top end QB prospect is 6'0" or a touch under this gets brought up ad nauseam. Yeah of course this data has worked itself out b/c at a certain point height would have some sort of impact but once you hit a certain height it really doesn't matter.

Just stop. First you were dismissive of their yards per attempt metric because it didn’t measure enough things. OP addressed that and explained that it’s fairly comprehensive and any other metric would be directionally similar, so now you’ve moved on to criticizing something else because your first attempt was addressed. You just want to hear yourself talk and be critical for the sake of being critical.

What are you talking about, this data shows that the sweet spot is between 6'2" and 6'6" so it seems like height is VERY correlated...
