ranters reading too much into stats

There are quite a few of you that keep whining and complaining about Etling's 6-14 with an INT. I'm beginning to wonder if you were watching the same game I was?
The fact that the kid moved in the pocket alone puts above Harris in my book. Add that to make good READS and utilizing every reciever in the formation rather than staring down one or two and that's a wrap fellas. If Guice catches that ball and Chi doesn't play like shite he'd have easily been 9-14 with 2 TDs and no INT. I'm baffled you jackasses can't see that.

Amazing how the one stat they don't discuss is that in 5 quarters Harris led 1 scoring drive while in less than 3 quarters Etling led 4. The only stat that counts in the final score.

There is no logic or level headedness here.

They were too busy typing on the Rant to actually watch the game.

Totally agree with you but if Dupre catches the passes last week, we may have won as well....

I am one of the ones you are talking about.
He was 0/6 in the 2nd half but that doesn't matter apparently since its just a stat.
he was 6/14 overall that's less than a 50% completion percentage but that doesn't matter since its a stat.
All i'm saying is that if he goes 0/6 in SEC play in any half tell me which games we win. Thats a stat though so it doesn't matter.
I can link up every stat that shows you stats mean more than you think it does.
If you like Etling better than Harris just say that but don't act like he is light years ahead of Harris because he isn't.

Small sample, but yes you are right; however, better than Harris' poor showing to date doesn't make us good.
It may make us better, but not good and considering the competition it's hard to go wild over one quarter.

We just seen this show with Les too many times. He isn't worried about stats and pocket presence. He wants to run the ball. The second half vs second quarter is the fact.

All last week people were bashing Miles for saying "If." But last night and today this board is flooded with people saying the exact same thing.
The eye test doesn't tell the whole story any more than the stats do. Etling showed some positive things last night, but the second half was not good.

So that's the only objective here? Convincing the world he's better than Harris? I don't know anyone who wants Harris as qb. Simply because he's struggling so horrendously.
That said, even with Etlings brilliant 2nd quarter- we still only completed 8 passes in the game. 8 passes. That's beyond bad. Did Etling play better than Harris? Of course. Is he our savior? Not yet. Hopefully he can continue to improve and help us move forward.

You watched the coaches film? That's the only way you would know he made the right reads.
As far as looking more poised and comfortable in the pocket there is no question...but to say stats don't matter is pretty moronic

yea and we just didn't throw much in the second half and 3 passes were deep passes.
any coach that coaches for stats ain't long for the game. the object is to do what needs to be done to win the game. but, considering Etling only played for 2 and a half quarters his stats in Guice or Dupre would have caught their pass (either one) would have been respectable.
