Now, try and tell me that ignoring half of the available data for Mettenberger isn’t cherry picking again. I’ll just keep laughing at all of you for being so terribly uninformed.
1st year = 1st year =|= cherrypicking no matter how many times you pretend it is
Burrow doesn't have a second year to compare yet. The fair method would be comparing similar situations
It may not be what you want to compare, but it's in no way cherry picking.

Not at all. It's a fact that Emory is more talented than CEH or Brosette.
Come on Roger...this is bad.
He's never played against elite talent. We have no facts to support what you're saying. Solely opinion... Albeit it can't be a 'fact'

He's more talented, period. His skill set is far more extensive. Brosette was never a feature back, was forced to be only because the talent pool at RB was so low

It’s the literal meaning Roger.

Again Roger, it’s the very meaning of the phrase.

Cherry picking, suppressing evidence, or the fallacy of incomplete evidence is the act of pointing to individual cases or data that seem to confirm a particular position while ignoring a significant portion of related cases or data that may contradict that position.

Educate yourselves.

Only if you look at complete seasons as incomplete data. They aren't. Burrow doesn't have another season to compare.
Comparing each first season is logical since Burrow hasn't played but the first season.
Now, if Burrow gets worse, and following the season we are still using season one, that's cherry picked. There's a larger pool we are ignoring

I.e. cherry picking.

You’re already ignoring 13 games of data.
You’re not even arguing with me anymore. You're arguing against the definition of the phrase. I’m just going to leave you to it.

No, because it's an uneven comparison
If a rookie QB and a 10 year veteran have exactly the same season, which team would be happier with their QB?
There's nothing wrong comparing year/year

Irrelevant. Keep arguing against that meaning though Roger.

In sports we constantly see players freshmen, soph, rookie etc years compared to other players before them. It’s done all the time. Whether it be how many majors Tiger won by age 30 or what pace Mike Trout is on compared to hall of gamers before him. Now all of a sudden it’s cherry picking

Absolutely not. Comparing each first season is logical and practical. You may not like it but it's it is.
In doing so, I can't claim Burrow is the better QB, just had a better season

All QBs improve with experience.
Jordan Jefferson get better from Soph to Senior year? Brandon Harris from year to year?
Not all QBs make the jump that mett did from jr to Sr years. If burrow does, good for him...but its a HUGE assumption that burrow will throw for 3k and have metts 3rd down conversion pct, which is what made him so lethal in 2013.
We can only hope...but it's FAR from certain

Burrow had a better JR year...mett, at this point in time, is/was a better QB for LSU.
Pretty simple stuff.

Can't argue with that.

I’m sure you and RB will disagree bc I’m saying it but had CLM given Mett more snaps in 2011 he would’ve developed quicker in 2012. We blew tons of teams out and our coaches wasted opportunities to develop Mett that year. He really didn’t start putting it all together until the 2012 Bama game.
I agree with you about this Trout. Mett should have gotten more reps than he did that year.

This is an ironborn thread right here.

Freshman as NFL talent......
I'm out guys I can only handle so much of your football ignorance at once. The only one of you retards that understands football in the discussion is Rb and 1st cut
Where did all of this talent that O inherited get drafted?
Wouldn't this have been a year that all of that talent went into the NFL?
Where's all of the talent that you've been assuring us is on the team.
This isn't even about football knowledge something you like to bring up. It's about basic math. I guess they don't teach arithmetic at Duke.

Wait, now you’re back to experience doesn’t matter? You’ve gone full circle!
Were you a better physicist in your first year after Duke or your second year? Every person in any vocation get better with experience.
