Meaningless.

You mean like when someone calls 3.8 "above average" in a sample with a mean of 3.74 and a standard deviation of 0.47? :unsure:I was where you are a while back but I've come to the conclusion that Shou/Gravity will continue to post regardless and the board either buys in or not based on his conclusions - not his statistics. I doubt if most of the board is interested in hearing us argue about the validity of his methods and logic. While it pains me to see statistical methods get a bad name his posts are no worse than some of the posts based on Bleacher Report speculations, etc.

Well if the correlation of 0.375 between QB rating and rushing yards per game is meaningless, what is this (below)? Less meaningless?Meaningless.
the leagues #1 passer had the best rushing attack. Nick Foles 119 passer rating, Eagles had a 160 ypg #1 in the NFL is that a coincidence? I think not Wilson, Manning, Rivers, McCown, and Rodgers were the QBs with a passer rating over 100. each of their teams averaged over 100 ypg rushing. the 1 exception to this was Drew Brees his team averaged 92 ypg rushing

its a big difference.
the colts have no o line and no run game, yet the reason they r in the playoffs and playing as we speak is because of good qb play.
good qb play lifts a teams offense. as the qb goes, so goes the offense.
Your repeated responding to posts without understanding them is meaningless. The correlation isn't based on game-to-game data. The correlation is based on season QB ratings and season numbers of rushing yards.Your repeated attempt to use game to game correlation is meaningless. Same mistake over and over.

The colts got a better run game and oline than Miami..

You have it backwards. I use numbers to suggest that the null hypothesis shouldn't be rejected, in response to posts that suggest it should. Your post above suggests that I'm rejecting the null hypothesis with numbers.Still meaningless. You are on a never ending search for high correlation values where they shouldn't exist. You then use the low correlations as "proof" for something. That is why they are meaningless.
A low correlation between QB rating and rushing yards is only meaningful if other factors impacting the QB rating are equal. How do you know that some of the teams with good rushing numbers don't happen to have crappy QBs thereby ruining the correlation. The post you responded to referenced quality QBs. The very best QB ratings have teams with good QBs and good rushing attacks. In other words, with QBs of similar skills a running game may be a deciding factor, but a good running game isn't going to turn Brandon Weeden into Peyton Manning.
Now give it a rest.
ya, exactly, keep making ****ing excuses.your kidding me right? if they finish 8-8 they make the playoffs. they were the only team in that division that could muster a record over .500
THAT's the reason they are IN the playoffs.
