re: Fournette>Chubb

None of the remaining teams on UGA's schedule gave up more tha 5.0 YPC on the season. The average of the remaining teams was 4.07 YPC against. Yet, it's safe to assume Chubb would easily average 5.5 YPC against them?

Delusional.....

Your point is that its delusional to think Chubb could easily average 1.43 more YPC than what the rest of the teams allowed.

Lets test your logic, first # is chubbs YPC and 2nd is opponent rush D:

Vandy: 9.95 - 4.02
SC: 7.57 - 5.13
Bama: 7.30 - 2.43

So thats an average of 4.41 more YPC than what the teams allowed.

So contrary to your irrational claim of delusion, it IS safe to assume a career 7.4 YPC RB could have easily averaged 5.7 ypc the rest of the way.

I also said that Fournette's performance in the 2nd half of the season wasn't a "huge" dropoff, like you claimed. The only reason you keep clinging to the YPC is because it's the only stat that doesn't make that statement look completely ridiculous.

---

In addition to YPC, TD's per rush also went way down for LF after those first 5 games, so the only ridiculous statement is one that is saying "the 2nd half of the season wasn't a "huge" drop off."

You're arguing that there is virtually no chance of Chubb rushing for less 5.5 YPC in the 2nd half of the season in the same thread that you're providing evidence that it can easily happen. In your determination to degrade Fournette, you've proven my entire point to be valid, and yours to be delusional.



You can't make this stuff up.

I completely missed this yesterday. RB10 from 9 months ago claims TD's per attempt is one of the best gauge, and when I made that same exact point last night, he accused me of "moving the goal posts".

---

Do you understand what "moving the goalposts" is? It's when you change your stance in the middle of the argument. Kind of like you spending 8 pages on YPC being the only thing that matters only to bring up TDs per carry as an important stat once yours lost ground.

So yes, you did move the goal posts, for about the 10th time in the thread.


It's over. You shite all over yourself and your ridiculous argument with your own stats about Fournette.

So this is how you admit that I was correct about LF's drop off? There is a more mature way to do it.

You should concentrate on reading better because "A safe assumption" is not even close to the same thing as a guarantee like "virtually no chance".

Yes, I proved it happened to LF, but all LF did was regress back to where he was in 2014, so it wasn't really shocking.

Problem for you is that there is no precedent of Chubb being a 5.5 YPC type RB, so while he COULD have hit a wall like LF did, it NOT safe to assume he WOULD have.

Heck, If Chubb regressed back to where he was in 2014, he would have still averaged over 7 ypc, which is well above what he would have needed to finish with a higher YPC than LF.

I think you should take your own advice. I never said it COULDN'T happen, I said assuming it would easily happen is what's ridiculous, which is exactly what you did.

It's been going in circles for like 8 pages now so I'm in too deep at this point. Also, I'm on a conference call now so it's game on.

Start making arguments for why Chubb is better maybe he will flip to the Fournette role.

I never made an original stance (on meaningful TD measurements) that I could contradict, so there were no goal posts for me to move in regards to that point.

Now, If I had said "tds per rush" was important last year and "tds per game" was important this year, then I could have been accurately accused of "moving the goal posts", but that was YOU who did that.
