You're making my point for me. Very few people don't know that win/loss for starting pitcher is one of the WORST ways to evaluate a pitcher. Just like it's idiotic to judge Daniels/Nix/Penix by the way their TEAM performed. None of them played all 22 positions on every snap. It's a completely stupid way to evaluate them.


And none of those QBs caught the passes they threw, either. So, do we throw out passing yards and passing TD's as a metric?

Like it or not that is how they are judged. Is it fair? Maybe. maybe not. But if a pitcher has a 4.50ERA and wins 300+ games he will be in the Hall of Fame. If you don't like that, then you should take it up with the powers that be. I doubt it will do any good though, because the fact is when things are not going well, and teammates are not playing well, the star finds a way to take his team to a win. LSU beat one good team this year. Missouri. They lost to the other three good teams they played against.

Right. He runs up to the booth and calls plays. Then he runs back down and takes on the opponent all by himself. That one player deserves all the credit and all the blame because, well, that's just how it is.

Right. THEY lost.

So if Daniels had the better stats against tougher competition, does that mean he "lifted the offense" and made them better?
