IMO stats alone cannot reveal the value or ineptness of a player. For example, looking at Andys stats can't tell you how many wide open WRs he missed. You have to watch the game.
I don't put this lost on Andy. And believe it or not I think Andy could win a SB, but no with this team. This team can win a SB, but not with Andy.
Sure, but missing a few doesn't = he was awful. He was a mixed bag today (bad by his standards), and I think the stats reflect that. Not saying to look at stats alone, I'm just saying that the stats aren't deceiving 9/10 times, and they weren't deceiving today.
If Dalton were garbage time stat padding ala Blake Bortles, I may agree with you.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
