He is cherry picking. Everyone does it in the NFL.
They will say things like Since this period to this period this is how awesome this guy was.... just because the time that Fred is using happens to be from when Lazor started to now doesn't stop it from being cherry picking.
The last 16 games are meaningless... it is only the 16 games in a season that matters, and then the post season.
This thread is an attempt at making it sound like Dalton is a different QB now than he was before. Dalton is still the same QB, and if Dalton goes on a slump for the next 16 games, then I wonder if Fred will throw up the stats as a whole or just use the most current 16 games? I think he will just ignore the stats all together. If we started 0-2 this thread wouldn't have been created.
Also don't try to claim it has anything to do with Lazor, cause if it was Lazor then he would have said the offense as a whole, this is all about hyping up Dalton.
The reason I don't even want to argue is because I like Dalton. I think he is one of the better QBs in the league and provided that everyone around him performs, can win a SB. If cherry picking the past 16 games to hype up Dalton is what Fred needs to do to feel better about the Bengals QB then fine, cherry pick all you want.
To me the stats that matter are:
Comp% Yrd TDs INTs QBR
62.4% 26,042 173 94 89.1
Other than specific games only, any other stat time frame are just cherry picked to hype a player up or to tear them down.
So I will save my apology for when I am actually wrong.
