The QB position

2. Opinions. All of them, but you're entitled to yours as I am to mine so ... word.

3. Yes, stats can be maniuplated to a degree. Stats can NOT be manipulated to make ANY argument. You can not use stats, for example, to backup a claim that Dalton is the best QB in the league nor can you use stats to backup a claim that Dalton is the worst QB in the league. That's why when you see someone make an argument and back it up with multiple stats, that's a compelling argument that one should take a good look at. You don't have to agree necessarily, but it's not an argument you can just dismiss just because stats can be manipulated to a degree.

I see some use facts and others just cite opinions arguing their stats (facts) are not heard thus they end up being correct as it comes across as they have no facts (stats) and just want to voice a personal opinion.

It has been argued for years AD is either worse than average, average or above average. I don't see too many say he is horrible or is a future hall of fame QB.

I say he is above average which is my opinion based on:
1. Watching Him play
2. Taking into account surrounding parts of OL and skill players as well as injuries of those players and AD's durability to stay on the field.
3. Stats like 2nd or 3rd most accurate QB according to PFF in 2017.
4. Win percent as a QB in regular season
5. His QB ratings compared to other QB;s whi h ave started at least 5 years (I don't like snap shot approach so the new guys have to put their time in in my opinion)

Truth be told, not that much separation from average to above average and thus why we get into these heated debates
