For me, I think it is passing yardage, because you throw the football and then make it a completion and that's how make yards. Every time I go to NFL website to check the passing leaders, it goes by passer rating.
I think the passing title should go by most yards instead of passer rating.

well i think the underrated stat is forced fumbles.
Ok, you are way off on what you are saying about passing yardage. first of all my problem with the passing yards is that if a QB throws a 5 yard pass, and the reciever catches it and runs 70 more yards and scores a TD, why should the QB get credit for a 75 yard pass? Also why should the title go to the QB who throws for the most yardage? If a QB throws for 3500 yards in one season, but throws 10 TD's, and 18 int's why should he get the title? the QB rating is a good way to show which QB is the best passer.

The most underrated stats for a quaterback is hands down the amount of wins a player has.
There are many quaterbacks that don't have huge passer ratings or td's but they can manage a game and in the end get the w for their team.

I think some people look too much at yardage allowed in both passing and running. What truly matters is points allowed as that is what decides games. I have seen this in the case of my Patriots, where they were somewhat weak on D but stiffened in the red zone and had a low per-game points allowed total in one of their Super Bowl years.

Not actually a type of stat, but the magic number of 1'000 yards meaning anything for rushers or receivers. averaging 67 yds per game should not be rewarded. 1400 yds should be the number for having a great statistical season.

Definitely the turnover ratio. It is based on how many giveaways (turnovers) the offense has, and how many takeaways the defense has. Takeaways are counted in positive numbers, while giveaways are negative. For example, if you have 10 takeaways and 4 giveaways, your turnover ratio would be +6. But if you have 4 takeaways and 10 giveaways, your ratio would be -6. Good teams usually have positive ratios.

yards per.....anything, catch run, throw, every one talks bout how many yards ppl get yeah well give me the ball 400 times and i'll get them yards too, what matters is do you have a 3.4 yrd pre run or a 4.3, or 4.5 per pass or 7.7, that is what really matters

how about first downs...
or how about dropped passes...i think that should count against a receiver when they drop a catchable ball.
i don't know if these are underrated, but they definitely are understated...
