Anyone with an ESPN Insider account...Jake

[jpo287]

Does anyone here ahve an ESPN Insider account? There is an article about Jake with a teaser stating:

"FBO: Delhomme should survive skid

History shows Delhomme should rebound … and could even win the Super Bowl"

I don't care enough to purchase the article but am curious about what it says. Does anyone here have an account that could share the highlights of the article?

Basically the article talks about other quarterbacks in history that have had an awful two game stretch and it compres their pre "awful stretch" QB ratings with their post "awful stretch" QB ratings. Shows that they are pretty equal - in other words - if you use those who have had bad stretches in the past as being an indicator of how Jake might come out of this, then you'd expect Jake to return to pre-Arizona form. There's little value in that type of analysis other than to tell a story. It's interesting I suppose.

Yeah, I much prefer getting my info from the experts on this board as their opinions have much more value than any kind of real data analysis.

What the author did was not data analysis. It was inference. Huge difference.
