For real. I like David's commentary and info he provides but I also think he overly relies on data. Data is important but you can't always tell the complete picture when using solely data. A lot goes into a players evaluation and there are so many variables in football that it's hard to break it down with only data.
according to Lombardi, tua would of been "elite" a couple years ago if you just used data points, which is a joke.
an example is the bears vs 49ers game, DL said it was an "all time great game", I'd disagree. It was one of the worst defensive performances I've ever seen in nfl history. There was a ton of god awful football in it. Great offense doesn't make it a "great game" IMO. It was an exciting game, but does that classify it as an all time great? Idk. Not to me. A great game is great defense vs great offense and they're slugging it out. Great offensive plays are stopped by great defense and great offensive plays are made while the defense has great coverage etc. that to me is an awesome game to watch
lolwut?
that definitely was an all time great game.
If you consider great offense as the only requirement for a great game, then sure. Why even have a defense then? Just play 7-7 and every game would be like it. Go be a fan of the arena football league then.
like I said, it was exciting but for as much great offense as there was, there was equally terrible f**kin football. I'm glad we won, no doubt, but calling it an all time great game of football is silly to me. Football is a team sport with 3 phases for a reason. Not just offense
