[QUOTE="Voyageur, post: 999681, member: 17953"] I think generalized stats are a mish-mosh of decent information. Next Gen Stats is more accurate, but you need to be a mathematical genius to figure out what they all totally mean. By the time you figure it out, the rules of the game change, and so does the significance of all the data. It's like fifty years from now, when people are talking about kickers, and someone says that they aren't nearly as good as they were 60 years ago, and before. The percentages of misses has gone up significantly. Nobody will think about the distance of the kick. It already happens now, in the NFL. We talk about 1,000 yards as being significant. That was back when they played 12 games. A guy had to average 83.3 yards per game. If we use 4.5 yards per carry as a breaking point of good yardage per run, that would mean the guy would carry the ball roughly 18 ti 19 times per game to get there. When it went up to 14 games, it was 71.4 yards a game, and @4.5 per carry, and roughly just under 16 carries a game. In the 16 game seasons, it's down to 62.5 yards per game, and roughly 14 carries. Now, we're at 17, so it's 58.8 per game, and an average of 13 carries. To be fair, comparing today's game to that of the 60s, as far as running the football, the "New 1,000 yard season" should be a minimum of 1,400 yards per season. Theoretically, the same thing applies to kicking. So many differences in kicking. Inside, outside, turf fields, grass fields, cold weather, hot weather, frozen fields, muddy fields, winds, and how they fill the stadium - some are straight line, others swirl, like Lambeau Field, which according to most kickers is a real problem - and those where the winds are so strong they can cause balls to hook in either direction, or add distance, or lose distance because of wind in the kicker's face. So, for all of us, it's what we see that we judge on. On TV, you don't really see, nor understand, the impact of the conditions related to the field. [/QUOTE]
