This is why it's "impossible to implement" (automatically) and therefore "too much work" (because it will require someone manually going through and assigning a unique reference point [i.e. the player it relates to] for every individual player stat record for every season).
I actually discussed this very point recently on the dev server:
For kickers it's easy because there's not that many of them. Other positions... not so much.
That all said, a stats database of this nature is actually in the works.
I apologize if it felt like that statement was directed towards someone, that was not my intention. That argument was used a lot in my early career, thus why I felt the need to mention it here. I have nothing but appreciation for what the wiki team and others are doing today.
