If there is no "hidden stat favoritism" than if you look at these two QB stat lines why does the following occur:
10125 Passing Yards, 70 Pass TD's, 57.2% Completion, 96.9 QB Rating
11602 Passing Yards, 114 Pass TD's, 55.8% Completion, 98.1 QB Rating
Worth a #1 and #18 respectively
Keep in mind the #17 QB has 6800 yards and 43 TD's.
You are arguing semantics to defend a broken system. Why not defend the system instead?
What is the benefit here in having the default HoF listing (aka the only one 75% of people will ever see) be unattainable for dots that were not created day 1?
Edit: If you are referring to "stat favoritism" in regards to position (which is not really what I was talking about but okay), lets not pretend sacks aren't pretty heavily weighted (to the degree that you need to be a blitzing LB to make the LB HoF, ever take a look at that list and compared sack to tackle numbers?)
