That’s not how WAR works. It’s not a replacement specific metric. It’s designed to make a comparison to an “objective” replacement level player not the actual player that is being replaced.
I think you could do something like WAR but its hard once you go outside of confrence. Like Nicos WAR would have been barely above 0 because he was league average in every statistical category.

Nico averaged 200 ypg, Aguilar was 273 last year. If we can get a 273yds/game avg from Aguilar and cut off 4-5 ints, we could be cooking.

I actually built this, but scaled to points instead of wins. I don’t have the number with me now, but Nico was worth something like 10 points over the average starting FBS QB over the course of a season. Aguilar was 20-30 if I remember correctly.

That sounds like a cool exercise. I am sure that depending on how you weight certain criteria numbers can change dramatically, especially in a sport like college football
