Do you think you've changed my mind?

Do you ever do things that other people would think are a waste of time? I mean, you're here, right?
I mean the DVOA that FootballOutsiders made their name on is basically a supercomputer version of what I would do.

Of course I can't change your Beautiful Mind.  That would require you to be logical. 

But DVOA is not even in the ballpark of what you have been discussing. DVOA is actually analogous to QBR; it takes into account things like down & distance, score gap, area of the field, and the opponent you play against to provide context. DVOA, like QBR, is not just simple stats like you've been advocating for.  So you are actually coming around to agreeing with me, despite all your protesting. Maybe there is hope for you yet?
