I hope there’s a time where we rank performance based on not numbers, but rather actual performance. Consistency, correct routes run, reads and adjustments, balls caught when they should have been versus over/underthrows, performance against top secondary players, etc. It seems beyond silly to take overall numbers and then stack them up blindly against one another.

​

There are a lot of fans and somewhat professionals putting out performance reviews on players, and that’s the real tell. It’s harder (more tedious) to show the garbage time stats for players, but I feel like ranking people by just regular numbers takes away from actual high performers versus people that were just targeted more and allowed more yards based on softer defenses (either bad defenses overall, or defenses playing some version of Prevent, where you’ll get a bunch of extra yards and whatnot).

Why is it on Belichick to produce successful coaches?
