This should really be scaled in some way. EPA per play in losses, or average EPA per loss or something. This skews the data heavily against QBs whose teams have lost a lot. Granted, Mac Jones is terrible regardless, but the perspective is screwed up by using total EPA in losses.
Well yes, but also no.
A QB can play good (or at least produce a positive EPA) and their team can still lose.
So while losing more games will make a QBs sample size larger, that doesn’t automatically mean he will be lower on this chart.
Obviously these are extreme examples, but NE only has two more losses than LAC.
