  1. Schrodinger's QB, eh? so peterman is an example of why quantum mechanics is ridiculous? i don't get it.
  2. generalizing data and then applying it to a specific situation and expecting predictable results is foolish.
  3. yes. my father and i are canadian, he went to school in buffalo and rochester and became a casual fan. when kelly started playing he just had to show me this brilliant quarterback who calls his own plays and runs an offense like no other. jumped on the bandwagon right when they started getting good...and never left.
  4. strange. i keep seeing this comparison but i don't see it...at all.
  5. Analytics is useful in that it can tell us general things about a group of players (qbs for example). So if I had to sign 1000 QBs and I used a strategy of favouring those with high completion %, then in the long run I should be better off. Assuming of course that completion % is not a spurious result and is not affected by confounding variables that are driving up that correlation. On the flipside, there are pitfalls using population level correlations to make decisions about individuals. Maybe you can know something about averages from a group, but that doesn't tell you much about the particular QB in front of you.
  6. hey look, people still arguing about something they can't possibly know. i hope all the qbs end up being good ones, i want to watch good games. but who knows, any one of them could fail miserably, or light it up.
  7. the opposite is also true. and some people would be wrong. might be you who is wrong. might be someone else who is wrong. i shall wait and judge based on what actually happens...
  8. it's probably not worth arguing about, but my point is you don't know that. Mayfield just may be the best player in the draft. It all remains to be seen.
  9. yeah but what about the fact that you don't actually know?
  10. yep and i love it. swing for the fences. if allen can be taught he will be a monster, wouldn't that be nice for a change?
  11. it's a press interview. you don't base opinions of draft success on it.
  12. 8 times? interesting...i have never heard that before. care to elaborate? yeah but that was 3 footballs ago
  13. yeah especially since tweets directly affect play.
  14. my goodness. the kid is not racist. he quoted a tv show.
