There are 18 Quarterbacks in the NFL with an average Yards per Attempt over 7 yards. So it could be in the ballpark, at least.

  Average isn't relevant in this case. What you want is percent of Attempts over 7 yards (which is more akin to median). Four zero yard plays + Four five yard plays + two 25 yard plays = 7 yards per attempt, but a 20% success rate.

    Yeah, I know, but I don't have those stats available. Hence why I said it's in the ballpark.

    Yes, but ... this discounts the practical consideration that the defense is going to change situationally, too. 4th and 2 is going to look a lot different than 4th and 17.
