Mainly because each of those stats is much more dependent on the other personnel involved rather than straight up passing numbers (not suggesting passing numbers are not dependent on others, just suggesting defensive rankings, time of possession, and improved running game or much more so).

Since his effect much more dependent upon personnel around him, his value is a much more difficult thing to quantify. His straight passing numbers are just not that impressive. That may be why there is such wide disagreement as to his value. I imagine that one or two teams would value him very highly while others not so much.

Thank you for posting this. Couldn't have said it better myself.
