It is a strong correlation.
The point of it is very clear: being 32nd in YPC is NOT acceptable and will NOT lead to playoff success.
It's a loser's statistic.

Alex Smith's current 9.9 YPC is one of the lowest marks in the NFL over last 10 seasons. Only a few QBs have been worse:
Ryan Mallett (9.8), Derek Carr (9.4), Christian Ponder (9.8), Brady Quinn (9.8), Ryan Fitzpatrick (8.6), Brodie Croyle (9.7), Charlie Frye (9.7), Bruce Gradkowski (9.4), David Carr (9.2)
