Subset: Top 5 Yardage Leaders — Efficiency Check
This mini-table pulls the five highest yardage QBs from the main grid and adds a simple TD/INT ratio to show efficiency alongside volume.
| Player | Passing Yards | TD | INT | TD/INT | Completion % |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Joe Burrow | 4918 | 43 | 9 | 4.8 | 70.6 |
| Jared Goff | 4629 | 37 | 12 | 3.1 | 72.4 |
| Baker Mayfield | 4500 | 41 | 16 | 2.6 | 71.4 |
| Geno Smith | 4320 | 21 | 15 | 1.4 | 70.4 |
| Sam Darnold | 4319 | 35 | 12 | 2.9 | 66.2 |
What it shows: Burrow pairs the most yards with the best TD/INT (4.8), but he also took 48 sacks in the full table, which hints at pressure and risk. Goff’s 72.4% completion is the best among these leaders and his 3.1 TD/INT is strong. Mayfield’s volume is high, but his 2.6 ratio trails Goff and Darnold. Geno’s 1.4 ratio shows that volume alone does not equal efficiency. For comparing top producers, you should weigh yardage alongside TD/INT and completion percentage.
Quick Analysis
Looking at the top 3 QB's that led the NFL in passing yards last year, some trends can be established. Starting off, all 3 QB's played in all 17 games of the standard NFL season. They also had some of the highest completion percentages, and touchdowns thrown. From these trends we can establish the fact that these QB's either had solid team support, or are genuinely some of the best at their position. But despite these three QB's had some of the best statistics this last season, they all still failed to make the Super Bowl. This could be due to a variety of factors, such as defense, special teams, or coaching. But from these results we can make the conclusin that football is truly a team sport, because even though all these QB's were high preforming they still struggled making the suberbowl, and statistically the best QB didn't even make the playoffs.
