Wut?

That's a pretty ignorant statement. If you turn the ball over as much as you score and turn that into points against your defense, then Id say that stat matters too

It matters, but not as much as touchdowns so saying that is also kind of fricking stupid, Gump.

If you lead the sec with 20 touchdowns but you have 21 turnovers resulting in 21 touchdowns for the other team then I'd say it's a pretty fricking pointless stat. Saying touchdowns is the only stay that matters is about the dumbest shite I've ever read. You're basically saying Id rather take a guy with 20 touchdowns and 20 picks over a guy with 15 touchdowns and 3 picks when you say it's "the only stat that matters"

Just concede your idiocy.

21 turnovers have NEVER equated to 21 touchdowns. Neither has any other random number of turnovers you pick to suit your shallow arguement.

Touchdowns are all that matters. In a finite number of possessions, every turnover is one less opportunity for a TD. So total TD's in itself accounts for turnovers as well, because on 50 possessions, if you account for 40 TD's, you can inherently only possibly have 10 turnovers.

So yes, you dumb mother fricker, we can conclude that from a reasonably high number of TD's, there are few turnovers.

Huh? Tempo has a huge effect on TDs. And interceptions, while not always the QBs fault, have to be measured because a QB being the direct cause of a turnover (and potential score) reflects badly on him. If he scores a TD, the other team gets the ball, just the same as a turnover...but he doesn't get the TD out of it. So it doesn't matter if he scores a hundred touchdowns. If he throws for 101 pick 6s, he's behind the game. So TOs are entirely relevant and need to be specifically accounted for.
