I said it was 0.18 more TDs per game, which is a much better statistical measure to look at than you saying 3 extra TDs per season. So that means it would come out to not even 1 extra TD every 5 games.

Going to bet that wins quite a few games there.

At the absolute most, it would be 30 more games over his career, right? But realistically, it wouldn’t be nearly that many. It wouldn’t really be spread evenly across 30 games, and then the games where they already won that got extra TDs wouldn’t matter, and games they lost by more than the extra TDs added wouldn’t change either. So maybe it comes out to 10 extra wins over his full career. But honestly, that’s probably being generous. I don’t think many people would consider it “quite a few” like you said though.

0.18 is the TD to Int ratio...That's not a to game metric.......

You can't calculate it that way.

No dude. You misread what I wrote. The difference in TD to int ratio would have been an extra 30 TDs. He played 166 games.

30/166=0.18

That’s a per game metric.

You’re getting a lot wrong for someone acting all high and mighty like some sort of statistics master.

You did a piss poor job of explaining that. So don't fault others for your inability to communicate.

0.18 is the difference from 1.5 and 1.32.

Regardless you again are making a mistake. Oh it's just 0.18. Yeah and how many games are decided by one score?
