    i so hope this Rams-49ers game ends in a tie too
  3. sneakypower
    that was a pretty vicious hit with malicious intent
  4. sneakypower
    that, and McCarron making about as bad a read you'll ever see a big name QB make; this guy was supposed to get a trip to NYC?

    Ypg is a weird stat to use given the disparity in opponents. What were the relative strengths of the offenses Mattison and Robinson faced? How many great offenses did UM face this year? And in your world, the DC doesn't have a role in bringing in players, only coaching the ones that somehow land on campus? Other than Manti, the 5-stars Diaco has are there bc he brought them there. He was critical in landing and keeping Tuitt. It was his coffee and donuts at 5am that kept Williams from visiting PSU and locked him up. He secured Day. As for players, Diaco's backfield consists of a junior WR, a true freshman RB, a true sophomore safety who has played football for fewer than 5 years and Zeke Motta. best recruiter is a whole other argument, but Mattison was the guy who recruited Tebow to UF and is considered amongst the best i'll just say this- i think if you were restrained in a Clockwork Orange setup and forced to watch our '09 and '10 defenses, you'd probably have little argument about his status as a miracle worker we made Dayne Crist look like a program savior! our cornerbacks covered like this! http://mgoblog.com/sites/mgoblog.com/files/UponFurtherReview2010DefenseVsPennState_AB86/death6.2.jpg

    yeah, i was going to say Tejada or Adrian Beltre upside for Baez, and #1 in the system worst-case scenario: Khalil Greene
  9. sneakypower
    What does Bob Diaco have to do with this? 2010 (Robinson): 393 YPG 2010 (Robinson): 448 YPG 2011 (Mattison): 317 YPG 2012 (Mattison): 311 YPG that's without really adding any high-impact freshmen, and using a [expletive] walk-on at safety; Diaco has a future top-5 pick to work with and other five-star recruits

    i feel like if all goes well, Almora becomes Randy Winn and Soler becomes Brian Jordan i prefer Soler

    PFF argues even Russell Wilson has been better than Luck https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2012/11/27/race-for-rookie-of-the-year-week-12/

    yeah, Colin Wyers confirmed that (in the comments) he also mentioned Safeco has been very favorable for Mariners OFs Lichtman: BUT YOU TOOK THOSE AWAY FROM ME
  13. sneakypower
    he's a guy i've always really liked and would have liked to sign, but a lingering doubt is when i remember looking at Crawfords H/R defensive splits and seeing how vast the disparity was there fangraphs took away that functionality since then for whatever reason, so i can't verify if that held true for Upton as well, but i think it's fair to assume his numbers were aided in some way by the fast track at the Trop

    Ok, well you and Jersey were arguing about individual Cutler games...that's what brought up the advanced stats. Sure there was some advanced stats discussion, but then you brought up Cutler specifically not being in that top 51 article. I'm not sure why you mentioned that if you weren't still on the MVP discussion. it was just a more general purpose comment speaking to his individual performance, since jersey was saying (loosely paraphrasing with exaggerated effect) stats aren't to be trusted in football; if i had access to their stats/ratings, anything more definitive than "not top-51", i'd have shared it for the sake of discussion but whatever, Charles Tillman for MVP, i'll gladly read an article about that
  15. sneakypower
    i wasn't even doing that, though; i ended up only debating the merits of advanced stats for football, and Cutler's individual effect on singular games after that...the argument stopped being "i don't see Cutler as the MVP" really quick
  16. sneakypower
    those replies...were in response to what i first posted about the yahoo guy's article do you want some kind of a tutorial on how to read a message board or something?

    Dawson: 61 WAR in 19 seasons Morris: 38.5 WAR in 17 seasons (discounting boundary seasons of little significance, for both)
  18. sneakypower
    recap the article was brought up on here i said: "the Cutler for MVP talk is mystifying to me" somebody else: "continue to try to put words in people's mouths" so i link to the article previously brought up, with the Cutler for MVP talk

    "Bears QB Jay Cutler for MVP? Yes, he deserves serious consideration" http://sports.yahoo.com/news/nfl--jay-cutler-for-mvp--yes--he-deserves-serious-consideration-020935212.html
  20. sneakypower
    Yeah, think about all the utterly elite assets they sent out in those trades... ...i was
  21. sneakypower
    and that preference has been shown time and time again, in their trading for Andrew Miller, Hanley Ramirez, Cameron Maybin, Jacob Turner, Jake Marisnick, Justin Nicolino...
  22. sneakypower
    then how do you propose we evaluate QBs with any shred of objectivity? i've probably watched the majority of Bears games and had the same reactions, but that alone assuredly would get shrugged off as homerism PFF, which evaluates players on a purely individual level, didn't include him in their Top 51 Players of the season list a short while back (Briggs was #35, Marshall #12, Tillman #6)

    he was stellar against Dallas, and i don't deny that, but the defense themselves outscored Dallas up until a garbage-time TD with :34 left in the game. i already gave you the Carolina game too, and looking closer you're probably right about the Colts game (29% WPA, +13.8 EPA) but the Detroit game, he had a completely neutral effect on their win probability and expected points, and didn't even muster 5 YPA. this also wasn't a game where you could say the OL completely betrayed him. PFF: "Customarily the offensive line draws the ire of Jay Cutler due to its pass protection, but their Pass Blocking Efficiency this week as a unit was 82.5, their second best mark of the season with only Lance Louis (-0.3 pass blocking) grading negatively in pass protection." so even then, we're left with 2-3 games you can argue they might have had a tough time winning with just an average backup QB (of which they have none, of course) playing instead; i just feel most other QBs can make that argument, plus some also, fwiw- he's in the bottom 10 amongst QBs for WPA, EPA, QB rating, which is the main cause of my puzzlement over these articles that have started popping up of late

    Latest in a long line of meathead ex-players who don't belong in the HOF who piss and moan until they're let in. Leave Santo out of this. seasons with 5+ WAR Santo: 7 Morris: 1 i'd say he was a little more rightly aggrieved and you clearly didn't read the "don't belong in the HOF" part
