I highly doubt if you have described the two different human beings correctly that you would come up with "completely different conclusions". I mean, sure, 60.1 is completely different than 59.3, but it is close enough to determine if both people feel the qb is doing a good job or not. They would not be 20 pts. apart as you sort of suggest.
I too, would just rather go with the old system as well though.
And as far as Luck goes. I have been and still am in the camp that Henne can get it done, that he is improving in pretty much all areas, and that the teams lousy performances thus far fall on a lot of different people's shoulders before his. That being said, if Luck is available when we pick, the Fins should do one of two things....draft him of course, or deal that pick to the highest bidder. If the Fins just pick another lineman with that high a pick........... :crazy:
Our draft, political, and religion forums have every day disagreements between educated individuals looking at a single situation and coming to different conclusions. To keep it within the context of a play on the field, and quite a few points in the TQBR system, ill set up an example:
Game: Lions vs Jets. Total QBR judges: Trent Dilfer, Mike Ditka, Cris Carter. Situation: last play of the game, Lions down by 6, 4th down, Lions ball in the redzone.
Play: After the snap Stafford sits comfortable in the pocket before having to roll out to the right because of pressure from Bart Scott after Brandon Pettigrew cant hold his block for as long as the play needs. Calvin Johnson running in the back of the endzone with Darrelle Revis covering him. None of Staffords checkdowns or other receivers are remotely open. As Stafford sets his feet and gets ready to throw it, Scott sacks Stafford and the game ends.
Judges response:
Trent Dilfer: bashes Stafford and gives him negative points for not making a clutch throw to a receiver that has 1 on 1 coverage.
Mike Ditka: excuses Stafford and gives him positive points for trying to make a play, while bashing Pettigrew for not holding down the block.
Cris Carter: blames both Stafford and Pettigrew, but mainly bashes Calvin Johnson for not winning his assignment and getting open.
Each, colored by their own experiences while playing football, come to a different conclusion as to who is at fault. Even without their own bias, none of their assessments are particularly wrong, as multiple people can be blamed or no one could be blamed. But because of the "clutch" play factor and the points off for "being responsible for a sack", that can drive down a Total Qb ratings score.
Thats just a very rough example, but not one you won't ever see in a game. In fact, plays like that happen every single week. Its easy to think that anyone who has a different point of view does so because they are "less informed" or "are just idiots" but the fact is multiple people can have different perspectives and all of them can be in the right.
