You said people think you're anti-Baker... that seems defensive in nature.I'm not defensive. I'm just pointing out that there seems to be this section of our fanbase that thinks they are being tricked by the data or something. It is ESPN's data......I don't really control what it says, I just tell you it correlates to QBR.......and here's a look at all the plays under Stefanski, and how Mayfield compares to the league. That is it.
Cherry-picked was referencing conditional downs in last week's discussion. That's why I put cherry-picked AND/OR skewed.Cherry picking? It is all the data under Stefanski. How is it cherry picked? I'm not using it as gospel, I'm saying that Mayfield has not performed like a QB you would pay $30 million to. Maybe you think he has?
Also, what does skewed mean in your eyes? Is it 100% worse? Is it 50% worse? 25% worse? If it is 1% worse, you don't care? Or 10% worse you don't care?
He has a fully torn labrum. 100% or 50% worse doesn't matter - we'll never know. If you can't quantify how much impact the injury has had on his performance, then it's skewed data.I ask, for example......because the Vikings game was horrendous but it wasn't the worst game he's ever played. So it isn't an unrealistic outlier. This isn't Pat Mahomes playing like a raging dumpster fire, as the #1 overall QB in this metric......and doing so in a way that is outside the bounds of what he has done before. Mayfield has played that poorly before under Stefanski. So that is why I view it as less skewed than you do. Because it isn't outside the norm. Will the 2021 data be the only data he'll be evaluated on, I mean no, it won't be.......but I also don't think it should just completely be cast aside either. It holds some value......the disagreement is probably on how much.
This is why it seems like you're anti-Baker. You refuse to let go of skewed data.
