I would think you'd want to give six times more weight to a 60 yard pass than you would a 10 yard pass. According to Joyner, Hasselbeck was 91% accurate in the "short range" and pretty average at the other distances. I'd think if you are weighting it properly, Hasselbeck's overall number would trend toward the average.

After all, isn't the point of throwing a pass to move the ball downfield? An accurate pass that moves 30 yards should count three times as much as an accurate pass that moves the ball 10 yards.

But if Hasselbeck plays in an offense that stresses short passes, which he does, why should he be penalized for not being an accurate deep passer if that's not what his offense calls for?

There is quite a bit of subjectivety that goes into his calculations, even he admits that.
