Mercedes Lewis says "I don't believe anyone can cover me"

1. A receiving Tight end is very valuable, especially in today's NFL.  Your either playing stupid or just are. 

 

2. Marcedes may see 1 or 2 balls thrown his way a game vs a receiving Tight end who may see 6-10.  Of course Lewis has a higher percentage cause he hardly gets any balls thrown his way.
That's not the way percentages work.

 

The whole point of calculating a percentage is to be able to compare two things with different sample sizes.

 

The only way that you can say that an increase in numbers will generate different percentages is to make the assumption that future outcomes will be different from current outcomes and that is a faulty assumption.

 

You are trying to make the case that dropping 2 of 10 passes inevitably leads to dropping more than 2 of his next 10 passes. You can't logically justify that stance because you can't eliminate the 2 other possible outcomes of dropping the same number of passes during the next 10 or dropping less than 2 the next 10.
