QB's have more of an influence on YAC than the WR.

How so? I think YAC would come from good O. Coordinators and WR's. What does the QB have to do with it above putting the ball in the receivers chest?

Throwing it to open guys? QBs who always check down or always settle for 5 yd outs are going to have a lot fewer YAC than guys who take shots deep. Or if not, then the other way around, or whatever. Always finding the open guy and throwing it to whoever is most likely to break one are big parts of being a good QB.
