I was trying to be kind and not say "cherry picked".

If you're going to use them then you're going to have to accept those that don't work in your favor as well.

You just can't dismiss and act if it's bogus.

By the way... did you really forget some famous horrid stats that were posted mid season last year or do you want me to dig them up?

It's really not that hard to find.

There are actually some Mixon runs that were hindered by poor to bad blocking.

Designed and terribly executed yet he still managed to get production.

The difference between a solid gain and a long TD if executed properly.  That's by the better part of the O-Line unit.

Let's just put it this way.

I'll let go of my "straw man" thoughts if you guys stop trying to be snake oil salesmen.

Deal?!?

The issue with your "cherry picked" stats argument is that no stats that contradict mine have been introduced.  People are arguing that hurries drags our OL grade down, but nobody has provided any actual statistics on hurries.  Basically, you have a group of people in this debate relying on an "appeal to authority" fallacy(in this case PFF rankings).  It's been pointed out that our OL stats are much higher on average than our PFF rating, to which the counter argument is "Well, we must have given up a bunch of QB Hurries to justify that ranking, but I can't tell you how many and how that compares to other teams in the league."

You can make the Mixon argument about compensating for bad blocking, but the Rams are argued to have a great OL and Todd Gurley is an elite RB.  Mixon and Gurley both averaged 4.9 ypc last year.  Statistics don't jive with that argument.

You can't seriously tell someone in a debate that you should be permitted to use logic fallacies because you can't or won't produce facts that support your position.
