They can't even understand what a regression analysis is, much less t distributions, variance, and expected value.

Not having TH hurt us, but no carries didn't help ATV

I agree.

Torain ran through holes that were huge against the Rams that either of the other two Backs would of done the same. Hightower healthy is better then Torain.

No I meant role, as in your role at The Warpath. Noob poster. Respect your forum elders. I never said Rex should still be the starting QB. I am saying Beck isn't that great of an alternative.

You wanna get punched in the face or kicked in the nuts? Neither is great, just like our QBs...

Gaffney and Moss are inconsistent. But Stallworth is just bad.

Fo realz! We're going to blame the receivers when they drop TD passes from Beck, but not when they drop them, or bounce them off their chest for INTs, from Rex?

Oh well, I just want whoever is behind center to play well.

[skinsfaninok]

Yeah but rex has always been bad so it's time for beck to take this team over

True but that can be said about any fan.

Except for me. Knowing such things is needed for an econ major like myself(and I'm now associated with every other economics dude out their, including Ryan Fitzpatrick and Bill Belichick).

I'm guessing a fair amount of football fans have taken a statistics course in college.

Then the are statistics used in the colloquial sense, which actually are data, and the "subject" of statistics. The "stats" on NFL.com are just data. Fans try to become n00b statisticians when they use said data to "prove" a point.

Im under the impression that Mr. Delusional of the Century Mike Shanahan and heir still want rex grossman at the helm. Until he names Beck the starter, I'll bet he will still roll with rex, just to appease his ego, and to prove to everyone that he knew it all along.

God I hope this isnt the case.

I just want to quote this post for when Beck is named the starter.
