when you have multiple variables, you make multiple equations and you CAN find out A, B, C or D individually from them. that's basic math.

Right, basic math with a false analogy. What we're talking about here is more like trying to solve an equation where there are no givens. We can think of five or six factors which can influence the statistic and we can't isolate and accurately measure any of them.

you can accurately measure all of it. the speeds, the times, the tackles, the fumbles, the knee bend, EVERYTHING. So your retort here is clearly wrong

portis in washington still put up monsster numbers. its not like his stats got cut in half. situation does play a role, but like i said, the individual player plays a much bigger role on his own statline.

Probably but if you offered a percentage on how much to give the player's performance, you'd have to reach behind you to find it.

Well then, you've just admitted that stats aren't worthless right there. so why are you still going at it so hard?
