okay, I have seen where productive run plays are 4 yards or more...how about pass plays?  |

That does raise an interesting question. For example shouldn't a counter play, say the WB counter in the wing-t or DW average more, kind of a knockout punch play than say a dive or wedge play? I agree that 4 yards is a good benchmark for effectiveness and I use that as well but in looking at our own offense I want my counter plays to have a higher average per carry.
As for passes I look at completion percentage as opposed to yards.

For pass plays I use average yards per pass, factoring in incompletions and sacks. If you just look at completion percentage you'll fool yourself with a lot of short passes where you could be running; if you look at yards per completion you will probably run too many high-risk or low-completion percentage plays.
As far as whether a counter in the wing-t should average more that all depends on how risky the play is. If it averages a lot more then your other plays then you aren't using it enough. It's yards per attempt should sort of whittle down to being more in line with your other plays, but your overall production should go up (i.e. the average for your base plays should go up as the average on the counter goes down). Otherwise the only plays that need to average more are riskier plays--plays that fumble or turn it over more, or have a bigger chance for a loss, like reverses etc.
