(ANY/A - league avg ANY/A) * dropbacks

So if your average yards per attempt is lower than the average of the league you're guaranteed to be negative. Not only that, but you get more and more negative the more times you drop back.

What a silly stat.

Yeah and it punishes teams that fall behind b/c they are going to take sacks and throw a lot against defenses playing the pass. But generally, ANY/A differential is the most predictive of the non-proprietary stats
