If measurables were that important there wouldn't be any Russel Wilson's, Tom Brady's, Matt Hasselbeck's, Marquise Colston's, Shannon Sharpe's, Jerry Rice's, etc. Most of what makes a good football player is mental, and intangibles. You can have all the physical ability in the world, but if you don't have any instincts or know-how, or just plain skill, then you won't amount to much. I'm not saying that Irvin won't become a great player, in fact I'm expecting him to. But lets not crown him just yet.

Stats are great to throw around with friends at a bar or party but using stats to prove points about players are most always wrong because the person using them always slants them in their favor rather than be objective. Can't you just say who won the game and the score. Most of us could care less who caught how many whats for whatevers.
Also I find now a days that the people who relay and force others to read stats are mostly fantay players and that is the next most boring thing to read. Right after Mein Kampf and the Bible according to someone else.
