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 am not speaking definitively at all here and acknowledged that on the post; I'm not a scout by any stretch of the imagination and am not qualified to make any definitive statements on anyone. It is merely a case against Jones.

Just because an analysis does not make a definitive statement however does not mean it is not analysis.

As for the Derrick Thomas thing, once again, it helps prove my point. Thomas is one of the greatest athletic freaks in the history of the game and ran a 4.4.
