Most analysts exaggerate the impact of singular players on an NFL team that aren't quarterbacks. If anything, the Joe Alt discourse might be understating his impact.

Caleb is holding the ball longer than anyone in the NFL, which has created a high pressure rate.
He's now far better at avoiding those pressures this season and is avoiding sacks almost twice as frequently as the next most elusive QB.

Turnover-Worthy Throws vs. Interceptions
Matthew Stafford and Patrick Mahomes are among the quarterbacks who have been lucky this season in having turnover-worthy throws not become interceptions.
