the problem with any formula is that it can't possibly take into account the circumstances of the game. nationally televised? time of game? weather conditions? national importance (9/11 ceremony)? quality of opponent or defensive gameplan? the stats are just numbers, they don't tell how a qb may avoid a blitz and complete a 6 yd pass to extend a drive. in the stats it's just a 6 yd completion, maybe under pressure. but the true importance of such a play can't possibly be measured.
