Yes, it would be totally fair to remove the best game or two from every player's stats when you want to look at averages, just as it would be fair to remove their worst game or two as well. Average stats do NOT equal average performances. You're basically trying to use Bryce's best (or two best) games of his entire career to skew his overall averages to make it seem like those are his average performances every week. I also think it's funny that you're arguing about removing a game's stats from a player's averages, but yet you only want to look at Bryce's last 10 games and not include the ones before it. Which is exactly why I didn't bother looking up QB's who averaged 2 TD's a game, because if you really want to do that correctly, you need to go through the game logs of every starting QB and only look at their best 10 game stretch this year, and no, I'm not going through that effort. Also, looking at QB TD averages just isn't a fair way to compare QB's performances either. Let me ask you this.... do you think Bryce is even in the same league as Jared Goff right now? Because according to you, Bryce's 2.0 TD average to Goff's 2.17 TD average (on the full season) says they're pretty close to even (less than 3 TDs more over a 17 game season). But if you dig deeper you'll see that Goff's best 10 game stretch this year was 2.6 TDs per game. Dig a little deeper and you'll see that we had 12 rushing TD's this year by players not named Bryce Young, while the Lions had 2 players who EACH had at least 12 rushing TD's for a combined 28, thus taking away A LOT more TD opportunities for Goff than were taken from Bryce. Or how about this one, Bo Nix had 33 TDs this year, 1 TD short of averaging 2 TD's a game over the full season he played. But he had 25 TDs over his final 10 games of the season, averaging a full half TD more per game than Bryce did over that span, or 8.5 TD's over the course of a full season. You're criticizing me for wanting to remove Bryce's best game when looking at his averages, but at the same time want to look at Bryce's 10 game averages against 17 game averages for other players. But as you can see from all this, looking at average stats over the course of a large sample size of games is just an extremely flawed way of judging and comparing players, particularly when one or two games over that stretch drastically skew the averages. And again, no, Bryce is NOT about average when it comes to yards. Because you're trying to compare his final 10 games yards vs the NFL's overall passing yards per game, where a few teams drastically lower than average. But like I pointed out previously, there were 22 QB's to start at least 8 games this year who averaged more yards per game than Bryce did over his last 10. In a league with 32 teams, being the 23rd best QB at something doesn't make you average, it's the literal definition of below average. And again, that's comparing Bryce's best 10 game stretch vs the full season for the rest of the league, if you pull out only their 10 best starts, I'm sure he falls at least a few more spots down in that order.
