There are RAMPANT logical fallacies throughout this post. Maybe jake actually GOT BETTER and that helped his stats improve too.

Could be ...but you don't know one way or the other do you? And, if we could trust the stats, we know with some degree of certainy.

Maybe if y ou watched him you'd know he makes stupid decisions and hasslebeck actually makes far less.

That could be too. But, if I can't watch them play, the way I watched Mark Brunell, I can't use the stats with any confidence that they will help me grade and compare one QB with another.

That career TD/INT ratio isn't 100% on the QB, but its a weak arguement that the QB isn't the primary factor.

Another opinion. Can you give reasons for it?

CP left denver and still put up killer stats, so, if the denver system helped him so much, why was he fine in a totally different system?

If you showed someone the stats, Denver and Washington, without telling them who they belonged to, they'd tell you that Denver's back was clearly superior. They aren't even close. Yet, Clinton is every bit as good here as he was in Denver.

All i see is opinion, i don't see any actual research or factual analysis of any kind to prove your case. Since you seem to be the only one in the "stats don't matter" camp, let's see some hard evidence.

This is a straightforward logical argument...you can't measure A,B,C,D, and E together and assert that you've measured A.
You don't seem to recognize the evidence. Players move from team to team...Moss, Plummer, Portis...there's a long list of players whose stats go sharply up or down depending on their new situations.
