So when someone is supporting an opinion and uses a stat like that - to me - it's the lazy way to determine a qb's potential and ability -- in place of analyzing through watching and it's just plain B.S.

But it's just my opinion and I have the stats to (dis)prove it. haha.
Those who misuse stats are usually un-versed dumbasses who can't wrap their heads around certain concepts in statistics(the subject of statistics is not the same as "stats" on nfl.com, which are compilations of data which can be analyzed by statistical measures).

Those who reject the these dumbasses' conclusions and inferences...however reject them in an equally stupid manner, blindly eschewing the use of stats(or as I prefer to call them, data) altogether.
