You're joking right? Try looking at it like this.*A basketball player who almost exclusively shoots layups is going to have a better fg% and therefore points per attempt, than a player who shoots around the field, solely b/c player1 only takes high percentage shots. Not only that, but his shot attempts is lower b/c the layup isn't always there.*Meanwhile, player2 scores more points per game, and overall, b/c he takes lower percentage shots, and sometimes forces a shot b/c his team needs him to. Therefore, he has more misses making his ppa go down.Player2 though, has carried his team to big wins and has hit multiple game winners b/c he isn't afraid to try.Down 3 with seconds left. Who do you want taking the final shot to push for OT? The guy who has spent his season taking layups, or the guy with a lower ppa, b/c he's been carrying the team and doing what he had to in order to win.

If all Alex can do is "Lay Ups" defenses would cheat up and cover the short game and take it away from him. They don't seem to be able to do that. Now if you're going to suggest that other QBs could do what Alex does as effectively as Alex does because they're better QBs...then my question to you is, if defenses can't stop Alex's "Lay ups" why isn't every qb trying to be an improved version of Alex, since it wins games?
