No, I think YOU are treating it like some kind of theory.
It's not a model. It's not intended to be a model.
It's just an observation, or a "claim" as I've said. That claim is that Chad Johnson, Randy Moss, and Terrell Owens each are worth 15+ QB rating points worth of performance. That is based on my personal observations and nothing more. Will there be more? I don't know--if I see a guy come along with that kind of impact, I might put him in that group, just like Johnson is a new addition to it. I don't know why so many people think they need to argue with it. If you don't agree with it, fine. The proof will play out in the pudding over the next few years, and I may be right or wrong. Big deal.
It's not like I'm publishing some book on it or something. Hell, everyone else keeps bringing it up a lot more than me. I bring up Culpepper and McNabb on occasion moreso because I think they are both overrated, not to prove my observation correct (although the two are connected--I think they are overrated because their WR impacts were underrated), and I also would then think that Carson Palmer is overrated and would drop 15-20 points if Johnson weren't around.
It's not a theory. It's an observation. Can't a man have opinions any more without them being called "ludicrous?" I'm not calling your objections to my observations "ludicrous," because I respect that we may disagree.
