I dunno, but there are a lot of statistics that don't tell the whole story.
Yesterday during the Vikings-Lions game, Jared Allen was credited with a sack when all he did was scare the Lions QB into running out of the end zone. True, his pressure is what caused him to run in the first place, but it was also the QB's fault for not paying attention.
What about passing yards for a QB? They record the yardage as the distance from the line of scrimmage to the end of the play. That's inaccurate... technically, they should only measure from where the QB threw the ball to where the receiver caught it. The current statistics don't distinguish between QBs who tend to throw long passes and ones who tend to throw short passes and then the receiver runs for most of the gain.
But none of that matters. Who honestly cares? Stats can only show so much anyway.
