In this day and age, talking about football seems to go way beyond the simple box score. Thanks to websites like Pro Football Focus and Football Outsiders, a vast array of advanced statistics are more available to the public than they have ever been before.
The statistics are pretty inarguable, but where these sites seem to venture into a bit of a murky territory is with their player evaluations and analyses. Sometimes the opinions of these sites are treated with as much validity as the statistics they publish.
Minnesota Vikings defensive end Brian Robison is the latest member of the franchise (see Mike Zimmer and Matt Kaili) to voice his displeasure with how seriously some of these analyses are treated.
