If I take 50 snaps and I am successful on 25 and another guy takes 500 snaps and is successful on 250 that's apples and oranges. See the math works out the same except when doing a deep dive, it does not.
Is Peanut-Brittle Jesus going to stay healthy enough to play QB for the Bengals this year or can we expect him to take a few more years off during this current mega-contract?
You're trying to make your point via hyperbole, but the question is much closer to if you look at a guy who took 402 snaps and was successful on 396 of them (98.5%) and compared him to a guy who took 1016 snaps and was successful on 986 of those snaps (97%), a guy who took 734 snaps and was successful on 711 of them (96.6%), and a guy who took 1332 snaps and was successful on 1289 of them (96.8%).
Yes, 402 is a limited sample size compared to the likes of Latham, Fuaga and Fautanu, but you don't luck into a 98.5% success rate over 402 snaps unless you are talented. All indications are that if he had played 600 snaps, he would have had a similar success profile.
And, for what it's worth, this is if you treat hits, sacks and hurries as the exact same thing: a failure. But Mims was the only one who didn't allow a single sack or hit in his profile. Latham allowed 2 sacks and 6 hits in his 1016 snaps, Fuaga allowed 5 hits in his 734 snaps and Fautanu allowed 3 sacks and 5 hits in his 1332 snaps.
Mims allowed 6 hurries, 0 sacks and 0 hits in his 402 snaps.
I get that you're being a contrarian for the sake of it, but there's no way you believe 402 pass blocking snaps is not enough to evaluate a player.
