Look, as I say in many of the P/R threads, nothing is black and white and same here. I'm not saying there are ABSOLUTES in anything. It IS, as Bosk says, case by case. Certainly I became a Pats fan because of Bill Belichick, and there are players I've followed - Kurt Warner for one - and others I've disliked even as they played for "my" team - Cam Newton. But GENERALLY, I feel the stats are in service of the wins. I think you ask any player - do you want Bradshaw's numbers, including rings, or do you want Marino's numbers, including rings? I feel like most would take Bradshaw. But I'm not really trying to relitigate the merits of Super Bowls over stats; it's really a different conversation. It's "individual stats" over "team accomplishments". Remember that Seahawks game when DK Metcalf didn't get any touches in the first half, he pouted like a whiny little bitch and Carroll acquiesced and tried to get him the ball and... pick six (or whatever it was; I don't remember the deets). That's not a team player. It's a team sport. If Deebo plays half his game, and the Niners don't make the playoffs, or go home in the early rounds, are you fans really going to tell me you won't feel like you left something on the table?
