If you just don't agree with the whole thing, I suggest you don't come in to the thread. There are plenty of other threads.
And if you feel you have exhausted your case and made your arguments and others still persist with theirs, then you haven't convinced them, which is so often the case, and clearly you won't change their minds on this matter.
So move on.
Oh no. There's generally one injury thread and if conspiracy theories are hawked in it, I'll counter with my viewpoints just as everyone else does. When I come into the injury thread, I expect to see information about injuries. Other injury threads have been locked in the past, so this is the one, and a certain viewpoint shouldn't control it. There's no need to focus on individual posters,...let's focus on the team and the posts being made, shall we?
I'll continue on with my counterpoints:
1) AGL is an actual #,....not a yearly ranking. Why was this number not shared?
2) Where are the other teams, and how did they fair in 2022 as compared to us with this ranking and again, why was it not shared if the focus is to analyze? Doing so in relation to a season just ending would allow others to actually put what's been a central focus of our injury thread into context.
3) One can clearly make the argument that at our main spot where we "suffered" from injuries,...that
BOTH major injuries at that position (QB) significantly improved the level of the team and the resulting wins. Again I stress, how does a number (that was not provided in the OP, by the way) capture this?
In all likelihood, it raised the AGL number and dropped us in this subsequent ranking. But the levelheaded ones here know that it would've been hard for Lance to have outplayed Jimmy's production this past year, and Purdy then outplayed Jimmy.
This is superb example of why this number and ranking is to not at all be trusted or relied on.
4) Given the 3 above (as well as all of the points made previously regarding these #'s), are we really focused on analysis? Or are we simply laying the groundwork for something else to continue with as the season approaches and begins?
It's very well known that ShanaLynch loves to feast on previously injured, talented players at a discount price, that have a higher likelihood of being injured again and probably raising this inaccurate AGL number.
Analyze the ANLYSES,....not the particular poster that shares their opinion. Let's keep it all football and team-based.
So for you and others: If these legit, team-based counter points are too much for you, as said previously, there are other threads and you can feel free to ignore the clearly legit counterpoint made above.
This post is is a reply to the topic (and narrative that's been pushed within it) in general, and not any specific poster. It's for everyone to read, but I understand if you wish not to.
