Not a pro bowl QB yet, but he's going to improve. Last year he had three horrific games:...
Not that you can do this, but without those games, Sanchez' td-int ratio is 11:8.
Why do people think it's perfectly fine to remove a bad game or two (or in this case THREE) to justify a point? If you are going to take off the worst 3, you need to take off the best three as well, and consider them within one or two standard deviations from the mean, which is being a bit rediculous.
Usually a standard deviation is the highest and lowest 2.5% or 5% of the overall sample base. You are choosing to remove about ~18% and at that only on one end, skewing the results.
Maybe a better approach is to take the whole season and just evaluate the facts as they are. Using the "if we just remove 1 or 2 bad games" approach, the Pats have had Three undefeated seasons in the last 10 years!
