So when 24 of 28 qbs all point in the same direction regardless of rushing efficiency or attempts you simply close your eyes and ears.
Here is the water. Can't make you drink.
You said it was the same for everyone. You were wrong. How about you own that as opposed to these strawmen you keep trying to ram down my throat?
It was also not simply "rushing efficiency" or "attempts" it was those attributes within a game. That was different than for a season or for the games leading up to the game in question. It was just one possible bias of one average and you act like you can make it into scientific law.
The one other permutation of the data showed how it was not universal yet here you are waving your hands and spouting idioms.
If my financial advisor came at me when an investment went different than what was advertised with a line like "it's the exception that proves the rule," and insisting we do it again then I would fire them right on the spot.
They should be explaining to me why it was different for me and how it would not happen again. Going forward with it again would be stupid just like it would be foolish for Roethlisberger or Rodgers to PA willy nilly. What you should be doing is looking into why those 15% of QBs do not experience better passing when they PA like the article you cited does.
There is evidence that defenses gameplan their run keys differently against teams that do not run the ball. It also makes intuitive sense because we understand the mechanics of why PA helps a passing attack.
