He's going to pull up some stats that are heavily influenced to be painting Carlos in the very best light. How will he do it? Well, let me tell you.
1.) He's going to use total numbers from 2010-2020. That's seem fair enough. Except... How many defensive ends played in all of these years? How many of them played all of these years in their prime? And how many of them never missed significant time during their careers?
See what happens when using total numbers, is you're going to eliminate the overwhelming majority of the pool. There's only a handful of DE's that have played in all of these seasons, while in their prime.
A guy that was better from 2006-2016 won't be fairly included. A guy from 2013-present won't be fairly included. There are very few players that meet his exact criteria.
2.) He's going to use DE stats alone. No edge rushers. The problem with this is half the league runs a 3-4. So roughly 50% of the league doesn't have players than will count towards these stats.
Don't get me wrong, Carlos has had a pretty good career. But Fred is going to try to paint the picture he's 2nd in this, 4th in this, 7th in this, etc. And while that may be true, it's only true when looking at in his way.
The fact of the matter is Carlos has only had 1 double digit sack season. 1. He averages around 8 for his career. He's good in the run, and he's good at batting down balls, but it's like he's some game changing 15+ sack, 5 FF, 5 FR monster.
Conclusion = Don't buy Fred's incoming bs.
