This will be a series of threads designed to provoke debate about a matter in the FOF 8 game, around which there appears to be some uncertainty. We will pose the topic as a statement, and invite your responses to start with either PRO or CON, as you indicate whether you agree, or disagree, with the stated assertion.

Today's statement for debate:

Ignore DB Stats, Mostly. We all know there's a tension between measurable stats from player efforts, and the ratings we see/trust in the game. When there's a red bar that says this guy is good at that thing, it's hard to trust the stats that arise from a game, season, even a career. At DB, it's even harder to trust the stats. The game's main PD% rating is an imperfect amalgamation of multiple things, and with the game's "cloud" style for generating and attributing results, it seems really hard to tally up short term statistics as being very reliable. So, wondering what to do about a player? For the most part, ignore the stats, and trust the bars/ratings.



Respond in this thread, please, starting with a clear statement in all caps of your position, PRO or CON.
