This graph literally provides ample evidence of many bank failures across time that are not part of an identifiable wave.

Reply to [OC] Correlation between heigh and performance of NFL Quarterbacks in 2022 by Exiled_From_Twitter
When you understand the context, you'll understand why this is beautiful. I was wishing someone would make this graph.
Two previous posts (https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/122avg2/taller_american_football_players_tend_to_throw/ and https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/122c5b2/american_football_starting_quarterback_pass/) put out weak evidence that QB height was correlated with passing performance. No R2 values, polynomial regressions where they are not needed, uninformative bubble sizes.
OP just put up the real analysts graph - a measure of passing performance that is acceptably unbiased for time on the field plotted against QB height, modeled linearly showing that height explains 0.3% of the variance in this metric. This graph is the hero we need, but not the one we deserve.
