No, you are one of the worst in bills history.

yeah what are we gonna do without that 7th we are screwed now

you have one of the worst trade records in Bills history.

this is "the most ridiculous thing [he] has ever heard"? guy needs to get out more...

You are overrated.

can a take have knowledge?

really, you can't think of a more annoying kind of person? if so consider yourself blessed.

people try to make statistics mean more than they actually mean. if it were only for football that would be good. fact is, stats are used incorrectly in much more important areas of life...there is a lot of terrible medical research done by doctors who think they know something about the scientific method. once again: statistics say very little about the future of a specific player. PFF makes me laugh, it is impossible to take them seriously.

you don't know this. statistical analysis of past qbs does not predict the future of josh allen.

do you identify with everyone else that has similar interests? neither do i...

"zero empirical evidence to support him becoming a reasonable NFL starting quarterback" these sports people and their "scientific" methods...there is zero empirical evidence for many things in this universe that doesn't mean they don't exist or are not possible. i mean, no one has ever seen an electron but we build computers based on our theories about them that work...such shoddy reporting. "analytics" is so often just bs.

sigh. journalists just throwing out references without knowing what the hell they are talking about.

Schrodinger's QB, eh? so peterman is an example of why quantum mechanics is ridiculous? i don't get it.

far behind what? there still is no proof that this approach works better than any other.

haha analytics on analytics supposedly showing that analytics works. what a joke.

generalizing data and then applying it to a specific situation and expecting predictable results is foolish.

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.

? + ? + ? it's the best i could do.

strange. i keep seeing this comparison but i don't see it...at all.

perfect comment

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.

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.

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...

either one of you may be correct.
