Here is a good example of a player with a low average yards per attempt would be Ryan Fitzpatrick of the, who have watched the team very closely.

This stat illustrates why Philip Rivers was so good as quarterback in this season. Rivers led the league with an 8.39 average yards-per-attempt. This is in fact very good. This is not a coincidence that he also led the league in quarterback rating at 105.5, which is the only player to break 100.

Eli Manning of the New York Giants had his best season yet. Eli finished with average yards-per-attempt of just 6.76. This is much lesser than Philip Rivers stats.

Combined with his 60.3 completion percentage, strong indications are also there that he may not repeat his numbers from last season in 2009, unless, he starts by throwing the football down-field or his receivers break a tackle or 2.

Philip Rivers was highest at 105.5 and Derek Anderson of the Cleveland Browns was at his lowest that is only at 66.5. The top twelve quarterbacks all finished with an average yards-per-attempt of 7.0 or higher. 2 of them, Rivers and Matt Schaub of the Houston Texans, covered the 8.0 mark.
