I get so tired of statistics. I find them so overused and overinterpreted. Fant looked obviously way more talented and effective. Dissley, as a rookie, caught a lot of passes. But after the first injury, he was no longer able to get the same kind of separation. Fant's speed, size and elusiveness made him so much harder to defend. Not a lunch-pail type TE. Big and strong but his strength is his finesse. I really like his skill set and hope he doesn't prove too expensive to re-sign.
I think Fant is pretty overrated, I'd rather him just be part of the comp pick calculation unless he's near vet minimum (he won't be).
He's not a good enough blocker to be a factor in singleback formation with the three wr. Dissly gives the appearance where they could run or throw at least even if not as skilled running routes.
I agree about statistics though.... Analytics fail to take WAY too much into account..... Surrounding players, weather, player health, momentum, etc etc..
Seahawks analytics crew/Evan on Twitter would have me hiding my seahawks Fandom if I was in the same room as them, completely insufferable.
Coming from a guy who throws out statistics and is probably seen as insufferable by a few.... Lol
I'll never really understand why people use Twitter to talk seahawks, you're kind of just talking into the void instead of having discussions like you can on message boards like this
