I'm not a statistician, but I work a lot with metrics and insights and use them on a daily basis to make very expensive decisions. I think the sports world in general has a problem with "analytics". FAR too often you have analytics geeks point to a metric and think that it equals some universal truth. To your point, understanding how they work and limits of their applicability is critically important. Often, new insights are just combinations of existing metrics with weighting applied. While that may be useful in some cases, we're all assuming that the data points currently being captured are meaningful, sufficient and accurate. Even then, an insight is just one data point and there are invariably situations that will net false positives and negatives if used exclusively.

Yes. lol. Absolutely not. Stafford has always been a great QB in a dysfunctional organization. There's an entire tier of difference between Stafford and Carr. Stafford was always a QB capable of winning a championship with a little help. Carr isn't that guy. If you want to win a championship with him, you better come with the '00 Ravens or '02 Bucs. He routinely falls apart when the lights get brightest and you put the game on his shoulders. He has lower highs and lower lows than Stafford. Not a bad player at all, but if you're hoping to win it all with him everything else has to be perfect. The only team I can think of that fits that mold is San Francisco, and depending on how the offseason goes, maybe the Jets.

He's exactly that though- always has been.

if we're going to keep trying the same things that we've been doing the last 5 years like it's going to be better next year, then sure. No real difference and we all get our Sunday's back.

I'm sure millions of people do. He's the best player on the planet.

You understand that Vegas lines aren't who they think will win a thing, right? that said, maybe if people keep throwing their money away on this they'll be right eventually. I'll be betting on Mahomes.

That question is answered my man. Patrick Mahomes = 2x SB MVP, 2x regular season MVP, 2x SB Champion. Josh Allen = Really good qb. Complaining about o-line is such a lazy, tired take from teams that couldn't get it done. Allen's o-line was mediocre - they weren't atrocious like this board would have you believe. We still had the 3rd highest YPC despite not having an elite runner, and our offense only gave 0.1s less of pocket time per play than KC did for Mahomes. Allen also had less hurries and knockdowns than Mahomes with 7 more sacks. We need a new excuse, because this team wasn't a winning a Super Bowl with The Great Wall of Dallas.

See, the team that wins a football game is the team that scores the most points at the end. Patrick Mahomes is a very gifted athlete that has the capability to make any throw on the field and do so perfectly. What's more, he's also an incredibly intelligent player that knows how to exploit a defense and isn't afraid to throw underneath routes in order to put together a drive. Hes' a god of football.

Oh, was that in October? @ me when the games matter.

Yes.

A better oline doesn't make Allen better than Mahomes, sorry. The rest of our roster and coaching staff is also drastically inferior. We are weaker than KC at every single role on the football field except maybe the secondary and Kicker.

Yea, but maybe the Chiefs will Take White, Edmunds, Dawkins and Siran Neal for him.

Trade for Patrick Mahomes. Short of that, there's no one thing you could do. More than 5 things.

2x MVP, 2x Super Bowl MVP, and 2X Super Bowl Champion. It's Mahomes' league and he allows the rest of those guys to play in it. I love everything about the kid. Especially the part where the Bills didn't draft him and rode with Tyrod Taylor instead. It's cool, we got Tre White tho.

If It wasn't "I need to play as good as these guys if I want to win a Super Bowl", then it isn't worth wondering about.

way to stick it to 'em.

Man, if that doesn't paint a picture clear as a summer's day. Oof.

I can't stand pop music and I thought it was a very good performance with nice choreographyby Super Bowl standards.

Simple - Draft Ja'Marr Chase, Micah Parsons, and Tristan Wirfs

That was never, ever going to happen and it shouldn't unless your owner is Jerry Jones.

Should make it easier to find reddit streams next year now that it's all streaming->streaming.

What should they have done?

No. His peak is likely a #4 WR. If we could have him back right now, he wouldn't make the 53 next season. He was in our system for 3 years, so it's unlikely we missed anything. He had a volume-based moment in the sun and I'm happy for the kid. I'm not going to be drafting him in fantasy next year though.

Yea, but wait till they factor in the Chad Hall departure.

I have no idea how any team is going to trade for Rodgers with his cap hit.
