ANY/A is a very interesting statistic. It means adjusted net yards per pass attempt. It is a very good indicator of how good a quarterback is and it is being used more and more in the NFL. The formula is:
ANY/A = (PassYards + (20*PassTD) - (45*INT) - SackYards) / (PassAttempts + Sacks)
The average NFL quarterback is usually around 5.35 for this statistic. As we can see, the NSFL is still much worse. Only one quarterback is actually above that average NFL quarterback and most are far below it:
C. Orosz: 5.45
M. Boss: 5.08
E. Hunt: 4.79
K. Bronko: 4.65
S. Kyubee: 4.54
J. Christ: 4.10
L. Noble: 3.62
J. Bercovici: 2.48
Again we can say that some of this is due to bad offensive lines, but there is more to it than that. Orosz has been fantastic and we can see the difference in quality between quarterbacks really well here.
Also if anyone has any other statistics they would love to see, please recommend some! I have been researching and I was going to try DVOA but that would require an intense amount of work of going through every single play. I would love more mathematical challenges. In this case I had to find sack statistics myself in order to make it work but I loved doing it. Please throw other advanced statistics my way! I couldn't find many more interesting ones.
Edit: Thanks to @kckolbe for the suggestion to make TANY/A as well which includes running. You can find the formula in the comments.
This changes the results to:
C. Orosz: 5.25
M. Boss: 4.88
K. Bronko: 4.54
S. Kyubee: 4.46
E. Hunt: 4.22
J. Christ: 3.92
L. Noble: 3.58
J. Bercovici: 2.48
I will also just include this here, but this is mostly due to E. Hunt having the most fumbles by far at 6. Christ had 3 fumbles, Boss, Bronko and Orosz had 2. Noble and Bercovici had one fumble and Kyubee had zero.
In terms of difference that means that the less the difference, the better the QB was in terms of running and not fumbling, so here is how much everyone lost:
L. Noble: 0.04
S. Kyubee: 0.08
K. Bronko: 0.11
J. Bercovici: 0.16
J. Christ: 0.18
M. Boss: 0.20
C. Orosz: 0.20
E. Hunt: 0.57
So despite having the most rushing yards, it actually hurts Hunt the most due to six fumbles.
