For those who are all about stats and nothing else.
Listen to what Micah Parsons has to say. Coming from a great player who knows what reality is when it comes to being the DPOY.
Micah Parsons:
Horrible take!! Myles was the better player!! Reality of the situation ! Myles Faced way more double teams and affect on qbs! Fans please stop looking at stats and look at film please!!"
I think fans, or sportswriters for that matter, who use stats as a significant judgement criteria in ebaluating players, have come by this at least partly as a result of fantasy leagues. I also think fantasy sports result in a lot of fans thinking they can be a stay-at-home GM. Our back up TE, WR, RB sucks? let's get this guy who put up big numbers somewhere else and just slide him into our system. How can you miss?
Or? why don't we just offer a low draft pick for that "other" player who would be a huge upgrade over our guy. It doesn't matter that it would take a first round pick to get him, his team would gladly take a 4th rounder just to get rid of him.
Delusion.
