Is anyone here familiar with The Millsap Doctrine? I think it was coined by @kpelton.
Anyways, it was a theory at the beginning of basketball analytics that a player with good per minutes stats will continue to be good with more minutes played, named after Paul Millsap.

When figuring out how to “Moneyball” football, it’s hard to apply boxscore stats for football, although we’re getting better with more advanced metrics.
I have had a theory of just like counting stats in basketball having correlation to good play (steals/blocks, “do shit” stats)

that “do shit” stats do matter for defensive players, especially DL. QB hits+stops+PBUs along with sacks show a player that affects more plays.
Anyways this is my rambling way of saying that the Millsap Doctrine could be applicable to the Shaq Barrett’s of the world.

Essentially a DL or EDGE that effects plays with low-mid playing time will in turn effect more plays with more playing time. Of course body type will be another variable but something I’ve thought about for a while.
