These two statements don't go together.
Considering the number of games the backups played last season, this could end up a big deal: The league isn't expected to see major turnover...
Yea, coaching was a factor. Maybe they coached up some players into better ones but my sense is we saw too much player regression rather than...
I agree on PFF. Never bought into their ratings because they hid them behind a curtain. PFR is a little more open about how they rate players;...
It's a good point NB. Looking at the top 10 teams there isn't a clear pattern with who is spending how much. Loser teams (TEN, LVR) and SB teams (NE).
Didn't mention analytics anywhere in the OP, that is your interpretation. Each pick has expected value based on the ratings (AV) history of...
Except you included playoffs so it's not the same as a 16 game season. Picking a range that starts or ends in the middle of a season is suspicious.
Of course it is subjective. Just as your opinion is subjective. For a 3rd round pick Highsmith has ended up as the highest rated LB of the class...
I'll give you the quick playoff exits but you can't claim mediocrity when they had winning seasons in all but one year (a year they had a backup...
Free agency spend rankings based only on the fully guaranteed money contract $s for each team. Steelers were very frugal with the guaranteed money...
Who had a better one that year? It's the draft capital spent vs the player return. Steelers were 31st in draft capital spent (76 pts) while the...
Wow! For a QB that some are projecting in the 4th round? That is one large reach....
There is no play that I would blame a fumble on a blocking player. Job 1 for any player with the ball is keep the ball.
The dilemma; If you really believe a QB can be the guy in a draft but maybe can't start Day1 you have to end up over -drafting them. Otherwise you...
I'll come clean and say I wasn't totally unbiased with the bullet points. There was one JTO comment I left out. When asked what Howard's...
Couple of things caught my eye. The Bush trade was one that is interesting. His DRoY season definitely boosted his rating. But he's also had a...
Since it's that time of year, thought this would be a fun look. Methodology: A player's rating is derived from their career Approximate Value...
Not unlike Roethlisberger's last TD in 2008..... something about defending the perfect pass....
I'm still trying to figure out how the Raiders end up with two first round picks if they trade the #1 overall pick to the Steelers for their first...
This right here. And good point on the QB. Get that right and does it turn them into an "A"?
