This "new" STAT may change the way we evaluate QB play around the NFL

When he was introduced as the Chicago Bears head coach last week, Ben Johnson subtly revealed an emerging truth across analytics.
“It’s clear modern football in the NFL is quarterback-driven. That is no secret,” Johnson said. “Right now, quarterback success is a higher predictor of winning and losing than turnover ratio.”
Wait, what? From Vince Lombardi to Bill Belichick, from Bill Walsh to Bill Parcells, coaches have stressed for decades the importance of ball security and limiting turnovers. The team that wins the turnover battle wins the game, right?
Not necessarily. As teams get familiar with new data, there are more accurate indicators of success that buck that long-held assertion.
Johnson was speaking specifically about quarterback Caleb Williams and why he was drawn to the Bears job, but the premise applies to teams across the NFL. | www.nytimes.co...
