Just a general question for the floor: Football uses a quarterback rating
system that I'll bet not one fan or sportswriter in a hundred could explain
or calculate, and yet as far as I can tell everyone seems to accept it just
fine and nobody complains. But introduce something beyond batting average
or ERA in a baseball discussion, even metrics that have *proven* valid and
that are gaining currency in the mainstream media, and some people reject
them and even ridicule people who use them. Why is that? Why are football
people seemingly more accepting of new metrics? Or am I wrong about this?
Does this kind of stuff go on in the football groups?
