Right.
Even Beane said, from the beginning, that Allen hasn't got accuracy issues so much as decision-making issues that lead to bad reads, hurried throws, off footwork, etc. And, lo and behold, many of the analyst's videos posted on here the past few weeks have noted that there don't seem to be huge mechanical differences in Allen's game, so much as a sound understanding of the defense, where to go with the ball, and what the offense is trying to accomplish. Sure, he's worked on some mechanics (mostly consistency in them on easy throws), but those, along with his more mental hiccups, were teachable. At the end of it all, it was clear that he had the physical and mental skills, but needed time to learn.
To me, the author's line of thinking is way too black and white (or narrow, like a lot of these stats guys). The question is not, "do stats no longer matter, or is Josh an anomaly?" The question is, "why didn't I evaluate far enough to understand that these stats were misleading?"
