What I don’t particularly like is step #3. Subtracting doesn’t indicate the dominance relative to competition and it still punishes WR’s who played in lower pass eras. Just for the sake of argument, let’s suppose baseline in 2014 for Brown is the same so he winds up with that 1205 #. And suppose all the players played the same # of games. Further suppose in Hutson’s era, the #10 player (the baseline) had an ACY of 28. Hutson still loses to Brown, yet Hutson’s #’s would be so astoundingly dominant relative to the era, that this is not really captured. It would be better, it seems to me to use division rather than subtraction in step 3 if one wants to get a measure of the greatness of a player relative to competition and overall statistics in a given era.
