I'm not as familiar with advanced metrics as I'd like to be.
I hope they take into account that rings are the most valuable statistic there is.
If you have a bunch of stats to try to show me Wilt Chamberline was better than Russell or that Dan Marino or Joe Montana or Peyton Manning or Brett Farve are better than Tom Brady I will laugh at you for a very very long time.
On some level I think numbers look at people like robots when they are actually people. If you have no idea the players you are looking at you might come to the conclusion that Peyton Manning's stats are similar to Tom Brady's.
But will metrics show you this.....That guy spends every off season making as many commercials as he can and that guy lives in the gym and watches video of the opposing team. That guy called his teammate "an idiot kicker" and that guy never says anything bad about his teammates ever. He invited the back up Qb over to his house to watch video. That guy plays in a dome so he is totally lost in cold weather. That guy wants it more and you can tell because he's at the facility first every single morning. That guy took a pay cut so he could have better teammates while that guy goes after every dollar.
Bill Russell won a championship....as a player/coach. Will the metrics account for that if you compare him to other players? Jordan won a ring....playing with food poisoning. Will the metrics account for that?
You can compare them as parts all you want but at some point you have to compare them as people.
Right now in the Mariotta vs Winston debate I am curious if the metrics have a "Likelihood of being arrested" or a "Likelihood of being suspended for marijuana" category.
This is pure drivel. For one, Rings aren't an individual stat. Are you laughing at people who say Dan Marino is better than Trent Dilfer?
Joe Montana has the same number of SB rings as Tom Brady.
Metrics do account for teams that play in Domes.
None of the things you're talking about are things metrics attempt to answer. You're asking why your computer doesn't take out your trash. Because that's not the point.
They're used to validate or refine what you see on a court. And one of the biggest reasons they came about was to measure the things that the box scored failed on.
If you score 50 points on 100 shots and I score 35 on 15 shots I'm better that you despite "pointzzz!!"
If you aren't a great shot blocker, but work hard to have great position defensively and can still protect the rim metrics attempt to measure that.
If you're going to blast something you should at least know what it is. Because Clint Eastwood was more coherent when he spent half an hour talking to a chair than you were during that rant.
