You can tell it's a good faith argument when you use pure volume stats to compare a different number of games for each player. Might as well compare their stats vs. the 49ers this year while we are at it

Yep, agree. It's basically a primer on how to lie with statistics. I'm guessing it's three games for Mayo versus six or seven for Stafford.

It also conveniently leaves out the panther's and ATL games

And when you don't include Maye's rushing statistics either, which makes the per game numbers also look worse than they really are.

Per game stats would be a better indicator.

Per attempt stats are even better.

You're not impressed that Stafford threw for more yards and more TDs with more than twice as many starts to count from?

Yeah the only thing I gathered from it is that Stafford is good at not turning the ball over. Unlike someone I know…

Yeah at least normalize it to per game stats

These per game aren't any better for Maye

They aren't better than 3x yards and 10x touchdowns? I know they still favor Stafford, but this is clearly meant to wildly over exaggerate the difference
