Passing yards
Passing TDs
Interceptions thrown
Int percentage
Completion percentage
QB rating

All are garbage stats trying to compare to 20 or more years ago. Also, though maybe to a bit lesser extent:

Receptions
Receiving yards

i think that's undergoing a bit of a resurgence in an NFL with fewer rushing attempts and more running back by committee. Also quarterbacks are gonna start getting it in the future.

Not a stat, but the concept of ‘team’ in most collegiate and professional sports

Completely wrong there. In the late 90s and early 2000s, there would be like 18 1K rushers in the league. So your average starter in the league was going over 1000 yards. Who cares if you ran for 1050 yards if 16 guys had more yards. Now days there’s like 6-8 guys that do it, so it is treated as much more an achievement to go over 1000.

Passing stats have lost their luster. It used to be a good thing to throw for over 4K yards and have a sub 90 passer rating. Now so many players go for over 4K, and your average starter has like a 95 passer rating.

Pitching ‘wins’ in baseball.

They’ve NEVER been a true reflection of the quality of a starting pitcher, yet forever people use it as a stat that means something.

It’s mostly a reflection of run support and the quality of your bullpen.
