PER is garbage.
At the time, I thought Crash would be a needle mover, so yes I thought it was worth it at the time. Also, I wouldn't really consider $8M per year for...
It doesn't have to be done immediately. And of course it isn't guaranteed. That's why it is a risk/reward question. The reward for keeping JJ isn't...
I like JJ and would like to keep him, but I think we need to swing for the fences with our cap space through a lopsided trade. I just don't see this...
Nope. You certainly do misuse it by tossing it out because it doesn't have an r^2 value of 1.
PER doesn't ever claim to say that something is "necessarily" true. It's just a stat that was derived using correlations. It won't perfectly fit the...
You're saying that PER and +/- are garbage, and that FG% is more useful than PER or +/- for determining which player is better. I'd like to see at...
All of this is being said with absolutely nothing showing that FG% has a higher correlation to "goodness" of a player than PER.
This premise is entirely flawed and not necessarily true. Until you reconcile that, your arguments don't hold any water.
And some people don't understand the point of statistical analysis.
Let me get this straight... you don't even know what the stat measures but you're confident it's garbage?
So if the only stat with any concreteness is FG%, you should always select the player with the highest FG%? If not, please explain how you use the...
It's all explained with string theory. Durrrr. :)
Did you read the original post where he specifically says you need to use a large sample size and not use +/- for individual games?
What percentage of the current deficit could be covered by tax increases on the top 1%? What would their effective tax rate need to be in order to do...
It's interesting (and mostly scary) to me that so many people like you consider "realistic" scenarios to not make drastic, slashing cuts and still...
Dude, check his stats comparing his performance with and without Harbaugh and then try to tell me it isn't mostly about the coach in his case.
It was interesting talking to some of the locals and lifeguards there. They said that there had actually been a lot more issues than the news had...
Re: MM 2.0's useless team grades (still better than penis pics though.....for most of Well, that depends if we're using your relative/absolute...
Blossom into what he's become? Harbaugh has had to baby him by giving him nothing to think about other than short dump passes and a power running...
