You can’t take out subjectivity in a something that is basically 100% subjective.
Its like saying “squeeze all subjectivity out…who is the most beautiful girl in the world?”
Sports isn’t linear.
There are 32 teams trying to win it all. For the teams that are contenders, hundreds of reasons why they didn’t and not all of it was because it was a failure. Sometimes the other team was just better that day. Tom Brady won 7 Super Bowls….does that mean he was a failure in the other seasons?
