[QUOTE="TJV, post: 453744, member: 4300"] [FONT=Tahoma]Here are four quotes from DevilDon's quotes in the "Will Defense improve enough?" thread: [/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma]1. I also argue that luck doesn't have as much to do with it as you suppose. Good teams are good teams for awhile. You don't see the Ravens, Patriots, Steelers, Packers and Saints are consistently good teams? There are up and down years but it's not as fickle as luck. Though [U]I agree there is SOME element of luck involved[/U].[/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma]2. You're right it has a place in the game but the [U]great ones don't wait for luck to happen[/U], they do it with superior skills.[/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma]3. The point I'm trying to make is that [U]luck can be overcome[/U] by good skill.[/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma]4. [U]I agree with luck being rare[/U] good or bad and is the entire premise of my argument.[/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma]I underlined the pertinent parts of those posts - they all contradict what you posted. Those posts all appeared on a thread you were very involved in, yet you came to the conclusion DevilDon doesn't "believe in luck". Didn't you read his posts or were you intentionally "raising a straw man"? Aren't you [I][FONT=Tahoma]sophisticated[/FONT][/I] enough to recognize what DevilDon (and I) were arguing is not the non-existence of "luck" - or any intangible phenomena - but in our opinions it was being overemphasized by you and others in that thread?[/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma] [/FONT] [/QUOTE]
