All the stats then become are the ratings.

HB A is 5.5 YPC
HB B is 4.8 YPC

HB B will have lower performance.

Those traits then become modifiers to players in whatever situation they apply to.

So the "ratings" are then the stats. The traits are the modifiers. Numbers aren't the lazy way to do anything, they are what computers understand.
