these stats are good, but context is needed, as always.

Another useful stat would be how the overall offense performed when each of them was QB.

Max's legs opens up more of the offense, and it would interesting to see how the entire offense did, not just each QBs passing and rushing stats.

Of course, the quality of the defense and the game status is also important (i.e., did yards come in garbage time, did we go conservative on offense due to the time and score of the game, did the opponent play softer defense, etc)

Long story short, no set of stats will truly tell the story, but they can help.

This nonsense needs to stop

* Both QBs were sacked 9 times, and were within 2 yards of each other in yards loss

* Max had a 2.2 rushing average, lower than any RB, despite the fact he had more carries than 3 of them

* Maxs longest rush was 14 yards. Its not like hes picking up tons of 1st downs with that 2,2 avg. Hes essentially getting a yard or two past the line of scrimmage, hardly the game changer people suggest.

* Max has the 3rd highest rush attempts. Yet the RBs are getting twice Maxs avg. For comparison, Emerys avg is 5.0. TDP is 4.3. It makes more sense to call a designed run play, than for Max to run that much

* Myles has longer passes, a higher completion rate, longer completions, a higher passer rating, more yards, more TDs, better avg, with 19 less passing attempts
