I think the YPC is a little misleading when everyone looks for 4y+. The thing to consider with anything 3.4 or more is on average that's a 1st down for every 3 carries (I know it's not literally). That's how our clock management is working. We're not looking for big play after big play (probably, aside from drops, why Mahomes has suffered this year), we're just looking for 1st down after 1st down. It's not that we're not looking for the big play, we're just not forcing it because we often don't need to.
