My point is that a number of stats go into the final ranking of a player. How they are weighted is arguable. I thought Ike was penalized for being targeted a bushel of times. Meanwhile NA was only thrown at 28 times that year and 75% of those passes were completed. It did not seem to concern them they seemed interested in the few times he was targeted. Also Ike had a lower YAC than NA that year. This to me indicated Ike just might be a better tackler. It did not phase them one bit etc. etc. Unfortunately, I think they are now a pay site so I don't go there anymore and cannot check the numbers.
I don't usually dig deep into stats much, but that year I got PO'd because thread after thread was going on and of course all wanted TS to get NA. Fine he is a good player no doubt but when someone offered that years #1, the following years #2 etc and then threw Ike in for good measure that was the last straw.
My point is and maybe you will agree , some stats can be more revealing than others. For example. Team A rushes 500 times for 1800 yards. Team B rushes 300 times for 1500 yards. Which team has done a better job?
They do a great job charting plays and players. This is invaluable in many regards. Absolutely. But then it up to the evaluator.
