I said that I thought, that he's been better for years now.
The amount of mistakes that he made is ridiculous ... Good GK dont crew up like this that often.. Morata goal? Genoa goal? Fio Goals? and its 1 thing that came to mind.. surely i can find more than 10 pathetic mistakes in 3 seasons.. Yes he can make unbelivable saves but common.. better than Buffon for years?

I'm not jumping head-first into a semantic debate of what a discussion entails, but what kind of argument of that?

When I say why Handanovic is better, I'm accused of only saying it because I support Inter (or being mentally ill or whatever). When i pull out stats, they don't matter. I'm not a crusade to convince you otherwise, but I've yet to hear more than one counter-argument that isn't something along the lines of "you're retarded" or "Buffon is better" (none of them very constructive).
But to conclude from the stats that Handanovic is any better than Buffon is simply not possible. These stats are much much more dependant on factors lying outside of a GKs influence than anything else. Buffon virtually never makes any critical mistake (something Handanovic (as most GKs) does more or less regularly). The last blunder in fact has been against Lecce or whatever in the 2011/12 season. Other than that he's had 3-4 shaky weeks at somepoint during the autumn of 2013, but other than that, nothing. And on the other hand he's saved our ass a fuckload of time, last match, or the CL final being just two examples.

You claiming that Handanovic is better than Buffon is I think very similar to Juve fans claiming Buffon to be better than Neuer. It's not even really up for debate.
