[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 612135"] That's not going to happen, and for some good reasons too. The system is too complex. The idea is to understand the limitations of the stats. In fact, what they should be doing is helping to assist in confirming or debunking the eye test, not the other way around. Similarly, the QB rating is very dependent on the quality of the offensive line and the receivers, if not the balance brought by the running backs and the quality of the coaching. But by and large it has proved useful in having a fairly good correlation to scoring points. At least QB-rating-against for a CB measures what happens when the ball is thrown at him (as opposed to assumptions about why it wasn't), which alleviates some of the problems with per-coverage-snap data noted above, such as there being other glaring weaknesses to attack. As for the unified field theory, perhaps nature is not constructed to allow for one. Perhaps the behavior of subatomic particles and the functioning of gravity and space/time at the subatomic level are simply different than at the macro level. Or you can go with the multiverse fudge-factors of string theorists which account for some things but have not been empirically tested (and may never be). Personally, I tend to agree with the thinking of some Eastern religions...that's it is all an illusion. ;) [/QUOTE]
