"research showed a clear correlation between Zeke Elliott rushing for over 100 yards and the Dallas Cowboys winning" There isnt one. What happened to our team when Romo got injured? What about Murray? Why are you dismissing hundreds of games worth of data? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our win% under Dak is almost 70%. Our win % with Zeke over 100 yards is 80%. So again, you are just pointing out what I said. There is a minimal change when Zeke performs well. This is the 3rd time youve done it. How about argue this: We have a 0% win rate when Dak <6 AY/A and a 80% win rate when +6 AY/A. That is a very strong and direct correlation.

I vividly remember the stat lines and commentators (mainly Madden and a drunken Summerall) mentioning during games that Dallas (for a number of years) was nearly undefeated when Emmitt rushed for 100+ yards. But hey, the running game doesn’t matter. No correlation to success, so we should just eliminate the position. ....said no player / coach / scout / executive / analyst / former player ever. Remember when Emmitt sat out the first two games in 1993 and the team was 0-2, because Jerry thought any rb could run behind that Oline? Jerry coughed up the cash to Emmitt and the team won its next 7 games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which means you can have a great RB and run the ball 50 times. It just doesnt dramatically change the win % based on 32 teams and 1000's of games worth of data. What matters is passing efficiency.

And what many people on this forum have said is that running the ball helps improve passing efficiency due to the decrease in QB pressure and fewer double teams on WRs. But hey, why factor that into a statistic when the running game doesn’t matter? You know, correlation and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know that Walsh’s WCO was based around having a RB who can both run and catch, right? It’s not like Roger Craig didn’t factor into that offense. He was a significant part of it. But hey, the running game doesn’t matter. Look for yourself: Yep, those running stats clearly had no correlation to Montana’s success as a QB or the 49ers win totals. None whatsoever.

Again, no mention of how the running game was measured against the other criteria. How was is weighted against the other areas of measure? Correlation is easily manipulated. You know this. If criteria is either under/over weighed or ignored, the findings will be misleading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multiple articles are based exclusively on the run game vs a ton of subset data. From multiple researchers. Again, are you effing with me?

From multiple researchers. Again, are you effing with me? Again, if the running game was meaningless, teams wouldn’t use it. The data you’re advocating is clearly inaccurate. Every team in every professional sport continuously evaluates metric data. They have entire teams dedicated to evaluating statistical data. It’s part of their daily routine. It helps shape game plans, free agency and draft strategies, personnel selections, etc. So, to be so bold as to say that the running game “doesn’t matter” is absolute hogwash. I guarantee you that if teams avoided the use of the running game in favor of exclusively focusing on QB completions, team win totals will plummet, thus proving that there is a correlation between the running game and wins. Like I said, I want to know what the criteria is that’s being evaluated and how it is weighted against the other factors. If something is missing or incorrect, the data will be misleading and incorrect. Edited June 9, 2019 by plan9misfit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
