Even doing that though, I doubt any recent teams come close to the epic-bad suckage that our offense currently is.
Well, our team last season.
No crap. But it gives you context on how they perform compared to their own teammates, so IT DOES! there are no words...
Not necessarily. For example, take Stafford. As I said, if Stafford played the same minutes as Ennis--say nothing for playing with better teammates--they'd have the same point totals if you apply their ES and PP pts/60. Another problem with this stat is that undervalues guys who are injured. The guy with 51 pts in 60 games had a better season than Ennis scoring 45 in 82, but since the first guy didn't contribute to any team goals for 22 games, Ennis will appear more valuable to his team.
Take Hodgson last year who was in on 44 goals in his 72 games. The team scored 150. That's .293 for Hodgson. But if you account for him being in on 44 of the 132 they scored when he played, that's .333--which is a fairer accounting.
I must have missed the threads where you were "admiring" Hodgson's offensive game last year, Stokesy.
