Other examples, there are no formulaic ways to "calculate" a person's Run block footwork vs their pass block footwork. Same goes for something like route running. Sure, certain ratings like speed and strength, short/med/long pass accuracy and so on could be tied to different figures, statistics, and measurables, but there still are plenty of attributes that can't be any more accurately defined by formulas. At a certain point, they have to base it off film, scouting reports, and the like.
Honestly, a majority (not all, but most seem to be regarding players who play for the team represented in that member's avatar) of the rating complaints that I've seen on this very forum appear to come from a state of bias... By that I mean "so and so on my favorite team DEFINITELY is faster than whatshisface on rival team!" I mean it's similar logic to what is seen in the team overall ratings threads every year.
Now with all that being said, I don't feel that Donny's ratings should be the end all be all, but moral of this post is that I don't think trying to create tangible formulas for every attribute would make things any more accurate or realistic
