My case against Jarvis Jones

St. Widge said
Manipulating an obscure stat and then using inductive reasoning based on that stat to say that it proves something is football analysis?

1) All SEC sack leaders have in the past failed to be great players.

2) Jarvis Jones was the sack leader in the SEC.

3) Therefore, Jarvis Jones can't be a great NFL player.

The above is what you did and it is faulty reasoning that makes the assumption that because something happened in the past, it will always happen in the future.

And, by the way, did your Google search reveal that Derrick Thomas is the all time SEC sack leader. Should he have been avoided in the draft?

I don't think that's necessarily the conclusion he's making; it's more of a counter-point to the hordes of people who make the argument

1) Jarvis Jones had great production
2) SEC SEC SEC SEC!
3) Jarvis Jones will be a great NFL player

1+2 doesn't automatically equal 3. Production doesn't necessarily mean NFL success.
