Assani vs the StatHeads: Evaluating NFL QBs

[snowden719]

To put it another way, if opponents never tired and games were 100 quarters rather than 4, the patriots would never lose this year, whereas if games were only 5 minutes long the patriots would prolly only win 11 games. These are extreme examples, but the point still holds true, if you're the better team you'd prefer a high number of possessions unless your team is really bad at playing quickly. This is responding to Assanni's argument about VY not having the same stats because Ten. plays a ball control offense. while this is true, the titans are worse off for it and would rather play an explosive quick offense and don't do so because VY can't deliver in that situation (Note that it is prolly other factors than just VY)
