no my friend that is not it at all. yes Romo threw 1 interception (because Dez tripped right) but otherwise he was very accurate and his rating reflected that. that wasnt a bad game for him at all. the only bad game hes had this year was against the 49ers.
Stat sheets don't tell the whole story. Ever. Three passes are deflected by a receiver having a poor day turn into picks when the QB was dead on and an OC goes in the tank and calls running plays and the QB doesn't have the numbers to overcome the bad play of others.
Your guy looks at a QB rating and determines this is a bad day for the QB.
Or, you have a QB that throws fifty times a game and has a defense like a sieve and no running game because the team is always behind, and he tosses a critical pick to lose a game, is that on the stats sheet. He might have scored...let's say 49 points in that game but his one pick cost the team the game.
You see, the statisticians that travel here look at that sheet and it is the end all be all. But there are gradients of good and bad that are not reflected. The author of that piece may have the wherewithal to see every game., Surely you can have the equipment and record each after buying enough stuff to get that job done. Then watch each game and report those gradients in a solid, statistical chart.
If that were the case then I might buy that. I think Batman has the funds and time to sit and watch all the games and make those determinations. If One Cool Customer eats and has a house or apartment payment, then that website must throw off a bunch of lucre so he can do those things.
And yet there is still room for subjective analysis. The scenario of the guy scoring 49 points was Romo and the pick cost them the Denver game. I maintain - to the pain in the butt of most here - he lost that game. Your guy could see him as a hero that was robbed because of the defense. I might add the other team in that contest also gave up 49 points but stole that ill-advised pass into double coverage when Murray was open to the left. That team - Denver - went to the Super Bowl.
So which is it? Ready to take the Pepsi challenge? Was it live or Memorex?
Anything short of an unbiased look at each play and assigning a number, then making a determination is relying on a page to tell me what my eyes didn't actually see if I did not watch the game.
I bet I stirred the pot again with my "Romo Hate."
These types of things are bandied about here frequently.
Oh well..
I am not a real believer in raw numbers tell the whole tale. If that offends someone, then take a number. I have offended most people on this board at one time or another.
I would suggest currently there are at least six people who are angry with me at any moment.
I am not sold on what the article professed.
