the more data you have and the more equations you have the better able you are to judge the individual factors and figure out their roles in said equations.

That is exactly it! Here is the thing, if you don't understand math and statistics (I mean really understand it), the power that these stats provide will never make sense to you. In the NFL, there are guys who are paid by each team to do just what you did. They take the stats of a team and reduce them down to a point where they can determine how much of an impact each player has. I actually took a linear algebra class from a professor who did this for the NBA as a side job.
