Player / QB
Regular season production, 2001 through 2020.
Altitude is EPA per dropback with the luck taken out: interception plays priced as incompletions, sack-fumbles as clean sacks, shown as the historical percentile of every qualifying QB game since 2016. The band is the claim; differences between adjacent bands are often noise.

Season mean Altitude 67 across 11 qualifying games. Rushing identity is not graded here; his baseline is 1 rushing yards a game.
Time to throw and aggressiveness are style axes that sit beside the Altitude score, never replace it; CPOE is the tracking-model completion skill.

Accuracy and pressure rates persist year over year (.43 to .48) but add nothing to predicting future clean EPA, so none of them enters the Altitude score; read them as style and environment.
