I'm not one that usually puts a lot of stock into stats, alone.
I've always based my opinions based on what I see on the field of play, moreso than in any stats.
I've always argued that Gun is inconsistent, before I ever saw any stats. and that has always been my problem with him.
And this was what I was saying when he was hired after Spinner resigned.
In this particular case, I think there is a likelyhood that the Chiefs D would be improved next season.
But what would we base it on?
Points scored?
Overall defensive ranking?
It's possible that the defense could improve in overall rank, but fall in scoring.
It's also possible that the defense could improve in scoring rank, and fall in overall rank.
Is it a better D if they finish 19th in overall defense, but 18th is scoring?
Is it a better defense if they finish 15th in scoring, but 28th in overall defense?
I've always thought that numbers can be too arbitrary in determining an individual's, or team's, performance.
