Quote:Yes. "PEOPLE WHO UNDERSTAND FOOTBALL"


 

The great authority cited by someone who has no other argument. I don't have any facts so I'll appeal to authority (even if it's made-up authority).

 

It wasn't an appeal to anything.

 

What you're essentially saying is a very crude examination of one metric might make it seem like Alex is better.

 

My response is that anyone examining their careers more granularly would dismiss Alex Smith as a better player than Eli.

 

I'm not appealing to anything, I'm merely discounting your criteria.

 

That said, if you want to believe that those with the capability to understand the statistics wouldn't come away believing Eli is better that's fine, I won't try to convince you further.
