You'd have to see the actual game by game splits on those cherry picked stats to see how good Nelson actually was.
Like if he gave up a 56 passer rating to crap Josh Rosen and a 96 passer rating to Jared Goff, he's still kinda crap. Still gave up 800 yards. If he gave up 100 yards to the Rams and Josh Reynolds and 20 yards to the Bengals and Tyler Boyd then yeah I mean still not a good player. I'd like to see if he was getting beaten like a drum by Big Ben, Brady, etc. Heck even Bortles put up 430 yards on this defense.
They played some BAD QBs that still chunked for a lot of yards because they were down big, and had some terrible completion percentages because of constantly throwing. Is it because the corners actually stopped them? Or just bad QBs being bad QBs that had to throw a lot against Mahomes.
Of those 825 yards given up how many were on 3rd down conversions? How many where in the red zone? How many of the yards directly led to points? There are so many variables. If that completion percentage is buoyed by Derek Carr, Case Keenum, Andy Dalton, Lamar Jacksons of the world and the catch rate is by most turd 3rd WRs he had to cover then it might be fools gold. I'd really like to see his matchups. Like was covering Tyler Locket all game or some turd like David Moore? Did he draw Mike Williams, Tyrell Williams or crap Travis Benjamin? Did he get beat like a drum by Julian Edelman? He's going to get a nice payday and go to another team and draw some stud coverages and you will see how good he is then.
