I mean, you can make fun of it, but literally anyone who evaluates players professionally can see the difference between
things that stats don’t show. Almost anyone who played or coached a particular position at any level HS or above can too.

I’m sure you can too even though you deride it, and even if you can’t yet, you’d be able to see the difference if we watched film and it was pointed out to you.

But just to make an obvious example: Riley chucking up a 35-yard pass immediately before taking a sack, which Hoffman comes back to and out-jumps a smaller CB who had better position to make a catch is going to be statistically identical to a perfectly placed 35-yard post in which Beck releases to Nate Meikel two steps before his break and meets him in the small space between him and the safety on the side of his body away from the CB from whom he couldn’t quite separate.

Stats rate them equally. But you’re right, the eyeball test doesn’t.

They aren’t the same.
