For instance, if I played RB for 3 seasons and QB for the following 4 seasons, and I played at an above average level as a RB, there's no meaningful way to compare how I performed among other RBs, to the performance of QBs for the first 3 seasons, therefore post-position swap data is the only relevant data.
if a player switched positions, their whole body of work would be taken into account, not just post-position change work. so guys like Akselsen, Blocksdale, Oles will be judged over everything they did. The point is just that they will be judged harsher than normal just by the situation, hence the hypothetical example. My point was essentially that a QB who plays all 7 years asa WB and has 6 HoF seasons, will have a naturally better resume than a guy who plays 3 years at CB/OL/whatever, 4 years at QB, and has 3 HoF seasons at each, 6 overall.
I hope that's not as confusing as I think it is rereading it.
