Message: [QUOTE="Porthoz, post: 2843394, member: 2221"] I never said Gillett is perfect, or didn't contribute. There is no black or white here! Of course he will make mistakes, mistime his run, drop a ball, miss a tackle, etc... but that is definitely not the point. I don't need to refresh my memory to be absolutely certain that Hunt is mostly responsible to the misuse of the right side attack at the Broncos. The facts and evidence are there for everyone to see, but hey... your "non-shoddy memory" says otherwise. As highlighted by Huge and UB, confirmation bias is a big issue, not only with you, but with most people, including myself. Remember that video you made about Hunt and Milford's kicking? To me, it absolutely confirmed he is by far the poorer kicker, despite a few excellent kicks in the midst of the mediocre majority, which confirmed my suspicions (or bias), based on what I expect from a halfback, which is at least a 75% efficiency and accuracy kick rating. Other people viewed that video differently, to some the occasional great moment will trump their view and confirm their bias, like [USER=1769]@Foordy[/USER] 's example yesterday, where he mentioned a great kick by Hunt to justify his opinion, ignoring the fact that those are few and far between. Secondly, if everyone had to go through 100 hours of footage before posting an opinion of a player on BHQ, this site would be a desert. Besides, the mentioned confirmation bias would still reflect that person's opinion, because people will interpret images differently, according to what they are looking for. I mean, we have people arguing about slow motion replays and seeing things others see completely differently! [/QUOTE]
