Quote:I don't think they are that closely related.   For instance:  Increasing attempts can possibly increase yards.  Decreasing attempts can possibly increase completion percentage.  You can possibly have the best YPA and score no points.  There is nothing that you can manipulate to statistically increase TDs.  A gunslinger isn't a gunslinger because he throws a bunch of interceptions.  He's a gunslinger when he can throw a lot of touchdowns.  Increasing interceptions does not necessarily increase TDs.  You never see a QB who throws 35 TDs but 55 INTs, because TDs don't get much easier by adding attempts.  Either you are good at it or you are not. 

 

I believer when you throw TDs, the rest of the stats eventually fall in place.

i get what you are saying.  I guess why I say they go together is lets do a number system 


Say each TD is worth 10 points

if you have a 1:1 TD:INT ration your  td is now only worth 5 points

2:1  td is worth 7

3:1 td is worth 8


This is just a blanket example.  But yes Tds are hard to get and don't necessarily get easier but if you are throwing a bunch of interceptions to get tds the tds are less valuable 


Thats why I think the TD:INT ratio is important
