Going to address the bolded only just because that's what I want to :
1) Let me rephrase it then since ribbing someone is harder on the Internet. Have you heard of the saying "can't see the forest for the trees"? That's what's happening right now. You're so caught up on certain stats like sacks or interceptions, that you're missing the context and the bigger picture. Why is it that someone like Dwight Freeney, one of the best pass rushers in the NFL, think that sacks are a stupid stat? It's because football is such a complicated sport that data and stats provide a very surface level look. And you're talking to a guy who loves data, stats, and analytics. But the reality is that it's hard to quantify something that has so many moving parts. Even PFF can't get it right. Hopefully something that will make you appreciate football even more.
2) I would pick Super Mel in real life. And if I was Todd Bowles, I would pick Super Mel as well for my defense. That scheme was quite conducive for someone like Barrett. As for Madden, I suppose that's where stats would matter more. Same thing with Fantasy Football I guess.
No matter what, sacks, pocket pushes, run stops, QB hurries, drop back in coverage whatever..... That doesn't change my position on Ingram. Or Jammer. I think both are solid. They're excellent players. You act like not gushing over them is wrong. No, I simply bring them down a rung or two from where you put them on the ladder. I consider them above average you have them as elite. That is where we differ. Also what you down play as ribbing I found insulting (that goes triplicate for Steve).
Just wish you guys could have a good discussion without personal attacks and insulting your fellow Charger fans. I have been a Charger fan for about 30 years now, but you and Steve just call me out as an fucking idiot that can't comprehend football without stats. Rather than have conversation or disagreements like fellow fans should. Have a little respect for other peoples opinions even if it doesn't align with your own arrogance and godlike football intellect. Whatever......

You really think that I believe CB's are just there for INT's? Come on. That is completely ignorant.

With that being said, I do apologize. You have valuable opinions as well. Obviously this has gone in a different direction than what I thought when I wrote my responses. But I'm not going to be responsible for creating an environment where we can't in the end just have fun or learn more. At the end of the day, I rather be putting my energy towards hating the rest of the AFC West rather than my fellow Charger fan. So can we just put this aside and move forward?

Steve, ok you're right. I know nothing about football I am just an ignorant person that believe stats do hold some value and they do tell a story. Excuse my stupidity.
Again, I think Ingram AND Jammer both are average players. I don't think either of played to the level of their contracts. I don't think either overachieved. Guess what... That's my fucking opinion be it right or wrong.
Now go piss on someone else with your holier than thou football arrogance.
I am not saying your opinion is wrong, I am saying you are doing a bad job of trying to convivence anyone what you think is true. Your terminology is sloppy at best, and the rest of your statements are argumentative at best.
As far as it goes, you might want to lead with the overachieving part. That is the most compelling part of your argument that you have made.

If you've ever smoked conversations can get a bit... Random? :lol: For the most part I stand by what I've said and I accept and apologize myself. We're Chargers brothers FFS.
I truely hope Mel has a stellar season I really do. Contract year it could happen.

Also yay!
Also never smoked but also laughing at that part as well because it is random.

I'll agree with you...elite to me is like top 5 defenders...Ingram is no ray Lewis but yet he's getting paid twice as much. Ingram is a solid defender and since we're not paying for rivers I can deal with over payment for the time being. Plus, we need to factor in how the virus is going to affect ticket sales for this year and next. They say players with big salaries are going to be cap casualties starting next season.
