What should be obvious though is that relying only on classical statistical production and/or the extreme limitations of the “eye test” is also highly flawed.
Is the latter *more* flawed? I certainly think so, yes. But that doesn’t imply the former is Gospel.
Yes, that, as I posted, is also my takeaway from this thread. Classical stats (what I called back of the football card stats), the proverbial eye test (which is so fun to rely on when making an emotional hot take), and PFF--is PFF even considered advanced metrics akin to Moneyball type stuff?
Anyhow, it's all just fun ways of discussing sports. This is a quality thread though, good learning can be done in this one. Educate me, fellows!
