A weird peccadillo in sports analytics is that adherents to the practice can at times get so caught up in evaluating objectively evaluable things that more intangible, less quantifiable things get lost in the sauce a little bit, which is how you end up with smarmy PFF types concluding that well actually Nelson Agholor is better than Justin Jefferson and then getting contact highs from huffing their own farts. This analytical framework lends itself to garnering clicks on the internet and little else, meaning that other, less empirical methodologies are sometimes needed to determine if, and the extent to which, Player A has that dog in him.
