Emory has been on the field with game day playing time that was not mop up duty.
He has had 178 plays that you can go back to for review.
And I suggest that the next time he's on the field playing QB for Dan, that you take your head outta your butt and pay attention to his intangibles, because I'm, pretty sure that you are clueless when it comes to understanding the stats....
The thing that makes me laugh is that you are the one who is notoriously clueless about stats, because you are unable to convert data into INFORMATION. Data is just numbers, they mean nothing without context. See, being a CPA, it's my job to turn data into information. So I actually know a huge amount more than you do about stats and what they mean.
Let's break down this "178 plays that weren't mop up duty"
Not counting Oklahoma (and who would want to, he played most of the game and had 86 yards passing and 60 rushing, not a great night), last season he threw for 135 yards and ran for 157 yards. Total yards 292.
Looking at the actual games, he threw for ALL of those yards (plus had 15 of his 16 attempts) against UK, Vandy, Arky, Miss. He had ZERO yards. and only one attempted pass, against Georgia, Bama and LSU, Why? Open to speculation, but not hard to think that he didn't trust Emory to not make a mistake that spelled disaster.
In running, the bulk of his carries (14 of his total of 22) were against Vandy, Arky and Miss. He did manage to get a couple carries in the other games, but no more than 2 against any of the others. So a similar story to the passing statistics.
All 3 of his touchdowns were against Arky and Vandy. I could go on, but you get the point.
It's obvious the bulk of his playing time came against teams we were double digit favorites against, where one mistake was unlikely to spell disaster.
Now, I'm sure you are still going to argue that those few yards and touchdowns were meaningful. Well, he accounted for 18 points, three touchdowns, in a season where we scored 458. So Emory was responsible for 3.9% of the scoring. In yards, he was responsible for 4.6% of our 6,317, a bit better. We averaged 574 yards per game, so with his 292, Emory's season totaled slightly over a half-game's worth. Thirty minutes and 31 seconds of game time, to be precise. Or, if spread over the season, 2 minutes and 46 seconds PER GAME.
Of his 18 points, he scored 12 against Arky, who we beat by 28, and 6 against Vandy, who we beat by 21. In no game last year was his points contribution more than the amount of the victory, so his contribution never "made the difference" so to speak.
So what have we learned? We have learned that Emory's contributions last year were, at best, incidental. He was never in a situation where he felt any pressure that he had to succeed or we could lose the game. He was never in a situation where he was leading a drive that could determine the outcome of the game. HE HAS NOT YET PROVEN HE IS "THE GUY".
And let me tell you what pisses me off about this, Instadumbass. YOU MADE ME MARGINALIZE OUR NEXT QB, for whom I want nothing but great things. Trying, in vain most likely, to get you to PULL YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS. You are about 1/10th as smart as you think you are, and that may be a generous assessment. THIS is how you look at statistics to get meaningful information. You do the same crap with Grantham and the defense. You post numbers, but you have no grasp on their MEANING.
Now I'm sure your response will be some stupidity like you are so well known for posting, the z's, or an LLL comment, but the truth is, you got owned and you know it. Now take what I gave you and LEARN SOMETHING, if that's possible for an old fart like yourself.
