I'm going to assume that you are a fan like myself, with no inside information on the game. If that's the case, you're guessing about the influence of statistics on the game just as I would be.

And, once again, my position has nothing to do with the statistical data gathered and used by professional teams...since most of your post has to do with the pointlessness of trying to change the reality of the sports world, it isn't relevant here.

here's the thing, the sports world revolves around stats and uses them to plan offseason moves, contract values, and player honors and awards. That, by definition, makes them useful. And its not guessing, because many many of these "insiders" give interviews and become analysts. that's just a pointless and VERY flawed attempt to discredit a perfectly legitimate point.

The burden of proof is on the claimant. The Aaron Brooks claim is yours to prove. When you try to do it with statistics, I'll simply argue that your stats are worthless and give you reasons.

without stats, you're just argueing opinions, and in that case there is no proof and no one can be wrong. Wins and Losses are stats, scores are stats. without them there is no game.

you keep saying your giving evidence, but without facts, such as stats, its nothing more than opinions and speculations.

Its a fact that bledsoe got sacked 49 times. thats also a stat, and if you're the cowboys, it'd be a good idea to address either the QB or OL to reduce that number in the future. Since it lets the cowboys know of a weakness, they can plan FA visists around that and they've hired OL guys already to try and fix it. since that one stat helped them in their long term planning, it is, by definition, useful, and consequently, not worthless, or even almost worthless.
