[QUOTE="AE 87, post: 46466, member: 195"] Two things. First, you should learn to distinguish between facts and opinions, more on which later. Second, as I think you've also stated, an important distinction exists between a stat, the fact, and the interpretation. Honest people can have honest discussion about the correct interpretation of fact. Finally, making a claim about someone else's opinion, "Certain people say that X is true," is also a fact claim. Okay, this reflects opinion about our offense not fact. Also, it bot accuses CPJ of just making excuses and makes a claim that GT has a bad passing game, which is also an opinion when an agreed measure of the quality of the passing game has not been established. Making a personal attacking on GT's coach and running down the passing game on a GT fan forum when you will naturally elicit an emotional response from those who disagree. That's a troll. Also, in my last post, I gave a measure (yards/attempt) in which our passing game has been ranked in the top five nationally and our corresponding offensive ranking has been in the top 25. In other words, CPJ"s statement is backed up by other pertinent facts while yours is not. I explained the problem with this post in my last post. You are using the fact, passer rating, incorrectly when you assert that this is the stat advocated by people saying efficiency is more important than completion %. Also, since I thought you participated in a thread where this distinction was made, it seemed to me that by failing to make it here, you were trolling. I guess that it could be that you just didn't understand. Here, at least, you say it's an opinion and not a fact. FWIW, even though I don't know how to quickly measure this "when we have to," it seems right to me. On the one hand, it could mean on 3rd and long, but the good news is that we don't have to do that very often. We were 2nd in 3rd down conversions in 2009 and 2011 and 4th in 2014. On the other hand, it could mean at end of half, end of game situations. Here, especially, I think you may have a point, but I can remember both good and bad drives in this regard, and I'm not sure how much is scheme. In the end, [/QUOTE]
