Quote:Well for me it's just that it seems like you are trying so hard to be right about bortles being bad. Someone will post a stat and you just dismiss it because it's a projection ect. Like we are far enough into the season where the projection has significance. He might end up with 3700 and 28 td and that would still be a great year. It's just annoying for people when someone is so drastically against something and seems to throw out everyone's comment that don't meet your opinions. There's a bunch of people that are too harsh to you and others however. There's a lot of people that are too positive about everything and can't look at any negatives and that isn't good either. I personally enjoy thoughtful discussion that isn't just someone having an agenda and that nothing anyone could say could change their mind even if it makes a lot of sense.

 

I didn't ignore them, I provided counterexamples of why projections are meaningless. No one attempted to demonstrate in a principled way how they can become meaningful, or how to put the stats into the appropriate context. It's just, well these numbers of all times greats are similar to a projection (something that hasn't happened yet) so he must be on the same trajectory and you're an idiot if you disagree. I never deflected points or purposely turned the focus of the argument, its always them who resort to personal attacks.
