What is the most unnecessary stat kept in football?

My choice is fumble recoveries.
So you fell on a football. An amazing individual feat.

Super Bowl rings by a QB.
So what. He had a stellar surrounding cast. Joe Flacco won one but Dan Marino didnt
Eta: semi baiting here

"4th quarter comebacks/game winning drives"
Kick a field goal to go ahead 2 points with 14 minutes left, and noone else scores, youve got yourself a 4th Quarter comeback and a game winning drive and a nice little stat fir nbc to fluff when youre down by 6 with 2 minutes left

uh they usually limit that stat to at most 5 minutes left in the quarter, usually around 2-3

Avg yards per punt, I like this thread idea.

If I was a USC fan it would be "wins and losses"

Luck got his "8th career 4th quarter comeback" for scoring with 6 minutes left in the game

I think most stats are unnecessary or at least overrated. I hate passing yards for a QB. You can throw a screen to a RB, have him run 80 yards for the TD, and you get 80 passing yards? The QB didn't do shite on that play. I think they should only count the yardage to where the receiver catches the pass.

I'm going to go with assisted tackles. It seems very arbitrary if you give a guy one or not.

I don't think passes that hit a receiver in the hands, but results in an interception, (tips, deflections, etc), should count against the QB

This bugs me as well. We need to create a new stat! The YAC stat!

Stats like " total yds in 3rd qtr with 7mins to go while down by 5"

Tackle stats in general are a sham
