How do you cherry pick a ****ing number?

I hate this

if the pass is incomplete then it's a poor decision

if the pass is complete then it's a QB trusting his receiver and letting the WR make a play.




our receivers suck

I dunno Lil Queefy.

How are 3 apples compared to 3 oranges.

They're both numbers, amirite?

Clay's stats are the greatest ever posted on this forum. Deal with it.

:evil:

You are attached to it though.

Wut?

I had a vision of the girl saying "Leave Brittany alone" screaming that.

He picks through stats at Pro Football Reference with a confirmation bias. He illuminates the ones that, in his mind, prove his point and completely disregards any outside factors, outliers or confounders.

Anyway, good talking to you I've got shit I've got to do.

Clutch.

He did have that sweet TD against the Browns..

I heard Matt Williamson say last year that Romeo's camps were awful. He was at Browns camp with him and said he looked around thinking, "This is really not going to work." From there on, the 810 guys were all dubious about Romeo and their camp reports reflected it.

Read his sig. It's cherry picking. When an opponent scores more than 24 points, Alex Loses! AMIRITE?

Well, actually, that statistic means nothing if Alex Smith's team ALSO scored more than 24 points. If his team loses 48-45, then it would fall under Clay's "Statistical analysis" (see: bullshit), because Smith's team technically lost while the opponent scored over 24 points. But so did his team. So, if the defense had held the opponent to 24 points, he would have won, and Clay's point would be meaningless. Granted, this isn't true for all of these losses or even a majority, but even one contrary example shows the fallacy in relying on statistical propaganda, which is what the sig is.

Still, it's an arbitrary benchmark. He's using statistics to prove points he already believes. That's cherry picking. He would have you believe that the only thing you have to do is to beat Smith is score 24 points, because clearly he was incapable of leading his team to more than four scores in a game. Ever.

They make for great discussion, but it's annoying as **** to have to go and do the research just to disprove a bullshit theory that shouldn't have existed in the first place.

edit: I ****ing love the gifs though. They are far superior to statistics for making an argument.

It was a poor decision because he wasn't open. That it's all.

Yep, them ditches ain't gonna' dig themselves.

I AM the man, what can I say?

People still read GoChiefs football opinions?

Yup typical Clay bullsh*t but SHOULD expected on this board. He is the master of the cherry pick info.

Sounds like Clay is keeping you on your toes. Good show.
