The problem with modern NFL analytics is people like Barnwell will say things like "Josh Jacobs is 135th in EPA" and not think that's a problem with the underlying stat

There's so many garbage stats like this out there, success rate being another one, that just serve to prop up the Twitter-take industrial complex because there's a kind of person who just eats up anything that seems like sophisticated modeling/stats without thinking twice about if it's in anyway meaningful.

A weird second order effect of this is a lot of these garbage stats are in a feedback loop with the "rbs dont matter" thing, where there are a bevy of over-engineered stats that credit RB success to everyone but the RB, and when half the league takes these things at face-value, you end up with half the teams overrelying on below-average guys like Rico Dowdle or Devin Singletary or Amir Abdullah because they think anyone can produce in a decent blocking scheme, but in reality you just have all these guys doing their best 75% of Najee Harris impression.

Then you also get half the teams starting AOC or Daniel Jones or Derek Carr because they think passing is so gamebreaking that you can get away with having borderline practice squad guys throw it 30 times a game. Fairly sure this is why the gap between good and bad teams right now just seems to get bigger and bigger, the bad teams that fall into this trap are utterly screwed
