Joyner was one of the guys who rated Carr so highly a few years ago. He seems to look at a lot of film but I'm not big on stats to define or grade players. Personally, I think that you can use formulas in statistically driven sports like baseball because of the 1 on 1 matchup the pitcher has with the hitters. I know there are other defenders in play but the crucial element in baseball is the hitter vs the pitcher. In football there are just too many variables, techniques and strategies that impact any given play.....football is just a sport you gotta eyeball. If not you end up lovin' guys like Carr for no good reason other than because he grades out with high 'metrics'.
