Controversial sports opinion

[Juven]

Yac shouldn't be a controversy because that shyt makes no sense. Just add the yards between the throw and catch. I don't get how they're adding yards for the QB after the catch

That was only me taking the bait after your first comment, because it seemed to me that you already thought I said advanced stats

College football playoff is ruining college football bring back the computers kill off the committee

I still don't see the difference in this context between "alternative stats" and "advanced stats" - they're the same thing are they not?

Alternative stats is making fun of Trump's advisor calling lies "alternative facts" last night

If the pass is ahead of the line of scrimmage there is a logical belief that the qb placed the ball in a position that the reciever could get yards after that reception

In college especially, a lot of qbs just dont lead the wr correctly...only elite qbs at that level lead consistantly. In the pros we have grown to expect it.

college and nfl rules need not be the same. this also inflates stats, especially when you get big receives or ends (or rb's) who break tackles and work hard for yards that weren't a given due to the throw. i don't like YAC, qb stats should state the yards they passed for and that's it.

But should they not get credit for throwing a pass between zones on a slant in a spot only the wr can catch it and be able to run? Goes both ways breaugh

yes, they get credit for completing that pass, the work the receiver does after is on that receiver...and whoever else is potentially blocking for them.

Alex Smith and Sam Bradford were the two QBs with the highest % of their yards coming from YAC.
It isn't because they are doing a good job placing the ball, they run safe passing attacks.

We got people in here that want to give passing yards to blockers

kill offsides in international football
why the fukk should i have to wait for defenders and help them out
once your team has possession you're free to run to the goal line and if the defense can't keep up fukk them

establish a strike zone in gridiron football
all hits to the core
the head and legs are a no go

The NFL is boring and has been for a few years now, the only reason many people follow it is out of habit. I predict a drop off in future years as younger people won't be as into the sport as we are

The PPV format in UFC/Boxing is fukking stupid. UFC particularly would be so much more popular if their best fights were on free TV

Football teams shouldn't be allowed to play in domes

This YAC talk is just silly and pointless. If the QB throws a ball that can be caught in stride, that should not appear on the stat sheet the same as a ball where the receiver gets tackled immediately. If you want to know the air yards (which I agree is a worthwhile stat) just look for that stat.

You'd have a better point talking about yards after contact.

I'll give you an example to marinate on:

player x has 12 rebounds in a game (only three of those rebounds were actually contested - the rest were when no opposition player was in the vicinity and/or either taken rebounds away from his own teammates)

player y had 7 rebounds in a game (six of those rebounds were contested)

Who had more impact on the glass in that game? Furthermore does x player who grabbed 12 rebounds (three only being contested) have more impact on the game than a player that contested and altered more shots (shots that aren't counted as blocks), set more effective screens, dragged more defenders away from ball handlers by being active off the ball etc etc just because he had more rebounding #s?

Do the numbers say that in this era more rebounds are "uncontested" ?

shyt, they gotta be with all these 6'10 mufukkas pretending to be Dan Majerle.

We need coed sports leagues. Coed relay teams in track would be dope. Have women playing PG and SF in the NBA. A female tossed somewhere out in right field shouldn't be an issue. Seperate but equal wasn't ok between black and white, let's not make it ok between man and woman
