Defense better without Irving?

[QuincyCarterEra]

Found this to be very surprising.

Wow and Zeke doesnt have nearly as much of an impact as you'd expect




While Sean Lee absolutely carries the team

sweet baby jesus, bless Sean Lee with a titanium skeleton and carbon fiber ligaments this season

He and Tyron are absolutely essential to a playoff run.

Yes. You can make numbers say stupid things. I don't care what the numbers "say" I take Zeke and Dino every Sunday if possible.

funny that people would be surprised that losing the quarterback of the defense would have the biggest impact on the team...

 

[NeonNinja]

Lee is so damn good. All about health.

It shouldn't be all that surprising that you can lose an RB and still function - it's not like Alfred Morris stepped in and put up bad numbers. He was similar to Zeke but just had less carries.

And looking at the PFF ratings of Irving and those behind him, while Irving wasn't ranked highly, he's far better than the DTs behind him. There is a dropoff there.

HELL NO...........

But he has 2 extremely talented pupils

I guess you need to reread the posts, they're pretty simplistic but you misread something.

I don't care what the stats say I don't believe that to be true.

 

[Batman1980]

Tank and Lee are far more critical to team success than some suspended DT who doesn't even want to be here.

Stats are dangerous in the wrong hands. They can be manipulated. The team is better Zeke, I don't care what those squirly numbers say.

Prime example of how stats can lie

 

[LocimusPrime]

Guess those stats indicate we don't need Zeke. He's holding us back

 

[erod]

I don't think Arlington has helped the defense. Stadium location is irrelevant.

 

[LocimusPrime]

So basically according to this info, losing Zeke didn't hurt Dak but actually helped him.

That is why I always say... as a programmer... Stats suck! Unless the situations are exactly identical, they don't prove anything.. they just give you a very vague idea of a possibility.

For example when we do split tests on web pages... We are showing visitors the same exact pages in a rotation. Then using something called retargeting pixels, we can have the same visitor see multiple variations, and track what they like or don't like. Then you pick a winning page design, and show that the most.

Those stats you can bank on. Player stats, you can't. The players are different in the situations, different people are out or in because of injury, the plays were different, the teams played were different.

The only way you can gauge NFL players, is watching them play.
