I didn't even know the bozo had fans. This thread is very enlightening. The most common phrase among the peeps I watched games with was "******* Hainsey!". I'll be sure to pay even closer attention this year & see which camp is out to lunch. Maybe there's something to be said for both sides' POV.
hey Darth
One thing I appreciate from these threads especially with garret and truck and the advanced stats is that it has made me take a fresh 2nd look and it challenges me. I was always of the opinion that the stats didn't matter but I will say that some of the categories and breakdowns are really really compelling and I am now a big fan of the blended approach.
I believe half the reason Ron was (is) a whipping boy last year is that he was making $4 million and the average fan went WTF are we paying that bum $4 million for and the next thing you know he was a target. Also Antro being slow and making allot of cash.....target. Buff making bad pinch’s and seemingly being out of shape.............love em or hate em type target. GST being the underdogs..........loved..........Stuie being all guts.......loved. Toby took some heat on this board because it seemed like he was oversold and yet the stats tell a story of a very top pairing D man. Much of what I said might be gross oversimplification but there are patterns in group think and the stats don't always align with it.
If nothing else the debate is pretty rich and it comes from a position of this is what the numbers show so now what do you think?? I have found if I keep an open mind the debate can be really fascinating
