Good question. There are a lot of garbage time/empty stats in the NFL, but I'm not sure that's the answer. |

i've always felt YAC (yards after catch) to be a waste. not sure if that's an actual stat (anymore or ever), but i remember a time when that was brought up with regularity. seems irrelevant. |

I don’t think stats are deceptive in any sport, the logic attached to them is. And or Art and nuance. A single statistic doesn’t tell a story about performance, for instance driving distance in golf, without driving accuracy or GIR or number of putts etc. Football is difficult to judge on kept statistics alone because they don’t always tell the whole story about all the things that take place to make a play or a game successful. In soccer, a team might have 80% of the possession and complete 70% of their passes but produce very few real scoring chances. |

Games started is pretty worthless in football unless you're a QB or OL. Snap counts are far more accurate to determine how much a player is contributing. |

Almost every stat now has some counter stat and everyone can always find stats to back up whatever argument they have and just ignore the ones that contradict what they are saying. |

3pt percentage because some guys aren’t afraid to chuck a full courter at the end of the quarter, and it brings their split down. Respect. |
