Quote: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.

Doesn't mean he is a hall of famer or next all time great. No one is saying that. The projections are to show he has been playing well as a 2nd year QB. And the projections are based on his play over 6 games in his 2nd year. You say he is mediocre or has a low ceiling or whatever you are arguing, but his stats SUGGEST otherwise. That is all. If he tanks and goes off projectory then opinions will change. All we can do is go off what we have seen. It is odd because you don't even realize you are arguing against yourself.
