I ignore irrelevant data, which is the best way to make a point. You clearly have a problem with apples to apples comparisons. I simply compared regular season games to regular Season games. Just like I compared passing to passing.

What’s most interesting is that You have been ignoring the fact that Florida 2017 never got to play it’s 12th regular season game vs northern Colorado the whole time. That’s the only reason 2017 Florida didn’t finish 5-7, which is 4 games off from 9-3.

Better stats are not irrelevant data.

That wasn't what slayer was making the point, he's saying you're a dishonest actor using dishonest tactics and for this reason so few people actually take your posts seriously.

No one feels like they've lost any argument with you because you make your arguments in a tightly sealed vacuum with extremely restricted components.

An irrelevant argument is saying that we can only use SEC and Regular season statistics (which were improved, regardless) and you're still wrong.

Franks improved, like it or not, in any metric you use. From passing TDs to running TDs to yards to completions to QBR in and out of the SEC against a better SEC East than last year.

Is your ego so fragile that you can't just say Franks got better and move on?

FWIW, if you're going to make this statement, it's best to then make your case for why the data that you elected to ignore is irrelevant in the same post where you claim that data is irrelevant. Even if already covered, 90% of the bullshite back and forth that you and slayer and straws and everyone else are having is because you are trying to reference back 3 and 7 comments ago and not everyone is operating on the same basic premise by the time you get here...

Otherwise it just sounds like you're cherry picking stats that agree with you and ignoring the ones that disagree... which is fine, but it's disingenuous and I think you know that. Just as much as straws and slayer know it when they do it as well...

I'm not really following the current debacle that is this thread and don't have any interest in getting caught up... just figured I'd throw a flashbang in the middle of this shitstorm and see if you three can slow down and think rationally as a collective. Don't care whose fault it is.
