"My favorite raw stat to compare quarterbacks across eras is adjusted net yards per attempt, which not only factors in touchdowns and interceptions, but also sacks and the yards lost on them. Last season, Mahomes had an ANY/A of 8.89, sixth highest in NFL history, right behind the mark of another first-round pick in his second pro season, Dan Marino in 1984.
But whereas Marino never again approached the heights of his sophomore stats—he never posted another ANY/A above 7.00—Mahomes is once again in rarefied air. Right now, he’s averaging 8.79 ANY/A, a dropped pass away from last year’s number, and one of the 10 best figures in NFL history."
