On the recent Bledsoe versus Brunell thread, I remarked that, in my opinion, conventional football statistics were almost worthless. The remark touched off a contentious debate which I have no desire to continue. But, since this forum is the place for knowledgeable fans, I thought some of you might be interested in visiting the DVOA website if you haven't already.
DVOA is a work-in-progress. I'm not convinced that their statistics are much more accurate than the conventional at this point; but I am sold that their approach is more intelligent.
By the way, they have Brunell ranked 12th and Bledsoe 14th.
DVOA can be found here. (http://www.footballoutsiders.com/methods.php)

when i pointed out you could filter things out i believe one Mr Huddle told me it was "impossible" multiple times - even though anyone with a high school degree has already done some basic work with multiple equations and multiple unknowns.
Apparently I was wrong for suggesting such a thing in that thread, but somehow Huddle is right when he suggests it. Very odd, and very convenient.
Two stats threads in one week??

No offense taken.
This thread was intended only for those members who don't already know it all and welcome the opportunity to increase their understanding of the game. I'm sure there are a few.
