Suh better than Carriker

[MCAT800]

Why would you compare a DT with a DE??

 

Comparing Suh vs Peters maybe worth listening to, but this makes no sense

I think you all misunderstand Carricker's usage during his college career. The defensive scheme ended up relegating him to a position which made it much more difficult for him to compile statistics similar to Suh. He was also leaner, faster and possibly stronger in some aspects than Suh. As well, he moved inside to Nose Tackle and put on weight for the Rams. With the addition of Chris Long, I think you will find that Carricker continues to have a productive NFL career, even if he plays for a team which does not allow his abilities to be highlighted.

 

To downplay his abilities because of statistical measurements that do not account for contextual differences is a misuse of mathematics, because even if you were to compute the statistical assumption that Suh is better, you would inherently reject the hypothesis

 

Edit: Not that you could really accept the opposite
