The problem with the so called objective evidence , when it comes to qb and who is the best its still a matter of opinion based on interpretation of stats and other factors.
Its like saying what is a good movie, in the end its about opinion. There is no objective evidence to say that such and such movie is a good movie. YOu can cite that 90 percent of critics said it was good but there is not one clearly defined stat that tells you a movie is good. Now with football there are many stats that are created to judge player performance and you choose YPA which I think is a bad way to solely judge a qb.I will say no matter what one thinks of the qb rating system, you damn sure played at a top level if your rating is over a 100 for a season. I would also say that over a 2 to 1 td to int ratio is a sign of good play. Are there factors which affect these ratings of course. I would also argue that a qb that has a completion percentage of around 50 percent is not a good qb or at least did not play well that season. All stats are subjective to interpretation.
I would say that without even trying to look really deep into any stats that Tannehill with 24 tds and 17 int was not a stellar season. Not horrible but very middle of the pack. I would say Joe Flacco had a bad season overall based on his 19 td and 22 int. I would say based on his 12 tds and 21 int that Geno Smith had a very bad rookie year. You could also couple that with his 66 rating along with his 55 percent completion percentage.
I guess what Im saying there is not one stat alone that will tell you good and bad qb but if your qb rating is 70 your not a good qb or did not play well.
If you threw twice as many interceptions as tds you played bad. We can choose to interpret data based on the type of offense, receivers and line which all affects the numbers we judge them on.
The problem with your theory on YPA being the end all of judging a qb is that its not a universal opinion on judging a qb( not that there is one but passer rating is definitely more widely accepted)
Hell many choose to judge qb's solely on superbowl wins which is very flawed because too many factors affect winning. I would agree qb is the most important factor but it cannot override everything else and win purely because you have a great qb.
