    I am the least insecure guy you know. But I - and a number of others who have messaged me - think your reactions are phenomenal entertainment. So from that perspective it is something for which I am very grateful. And do your grandma a favor and make something for Thanksgiving. You live in...

    There is such easier ways to find the full dataset but I am glad to see your time being wasted.

    Thoughts on the Italian flag on the visor? It drives my dad bananas when the Eagles are playing badly, which is beyond hilarious.

    It also doesn’t incorporate the driving factor of the upward seasonality - inexperienced QBs who improve over the seasons, guys getting used to nee receivers/offenses, etc which most of these guys never really had to deal with.

    The data defines whether it is nonsense or not, and it isn’t. I have led forecasting for major business units at Fortune 50 companies. I’m sorry you can’t accept being wrong.

    I honestly thought you were a lurker. I can’t remember a single thing you have said on any topic. This post just shows you to be a clown who doesn’t understand data.

    True statement: I love his passion Also true statement: This and the Frank Reich stuff last season is embarrassing. It’s too much. Also, also true statement: Had he done this against the Cowboys I probably would have loved it Also, also, also true statement: He is a very good football coach...

    Your second paragraph shows the flaw in your first. The end of season rating is almost always higher - in aggregate - than the mid-season. Again though, a few Sundays of blizzard can outweigh that seasonality.

    No one claimed there was a cyclical effect in the last decade, but yes, most of the large increases in the metric over the last 30 years seem to have been driven by rule changes (which have impaxt both ways, catches are now reviewed far more than in the past, almost to a silly degree). I was...

    Ooh. How is lined up parallel to the line defined? I have been discussing this with players for about a decade Is it shoulders square or feet? I have always assumed it was shoulders. But yeah, Tackles haven’t been parallel to the line or even close to past the waistline of the center for 90...

    Yes, but when I look at it I am analyzing it as someone who is just alot smarter than you guys. It’s kind of canon at this point. If you don’t believe me, go through the draft threads for the last 5 seasons and see how excited you all were about this shit salad. There are many other proof...

    QB rating for the last ten years. There was an increase until 10 years ago. There was a one year spike. You guys have to get smart.

    You are just completely wrong in this statement. Man, you suck at data. Do people take advantage of you regularly? There was a spike in 2020. That's the story. The rest is normal variance and you being unable to realize that your hypothesis is idiotic. I expect to hear more clinging to this...

    It's like when a receiver turns to the ref and says that he is on the line and the ref gives him the thumbs up....it is subjective. Usually the ref will talk to the lineman before calling anything just as he will tell a WR to move forward or backwards. As a rule of thumb.....the lineman has to...

    Ummm.....lots of folks? But your statement is crazy as well. Mahomes is currently behind Purdy, Herbert, Stroud, Jackson and Hurts in terms of Rating for 2023, which - while it is only one stat - if your statement were true in any way you would expect him to be in the top 2, surely. He has...

    ORLY? It's really not For the last decade QB rating has been plus or minus 1.5 from 90.0 every season, which is where it is now. It had a fluke season in 2020 where it "spiked" to 93.6 but that season was a hot mess and the Athletic decided that - because they have no idea how to look at data...

    You guys have clearly not been watching football this season. Prescott - as much as I hate him - has been having a great season. Stroud is having a great season. Purdy has had a great season. Hurts is having a great season. Goff is having a great season. My goodness, what a silly pearl...
