  2. This field is nightmarish.
  3. 3 and out or turnover?
  4. It's literally the Miami Dolphins vs. Ratliff.
  5. Let's be Packer fans.
  6. Well, if the whole lopsided thing keeps true the Bears are due for another amazing second half comeback win.
  7. I haven't been able to see most of their games this year and have missed the wins. Given how horrendous they've looked when I have been able to watch the games I'm not sure how they've won any.
  8. Snooooooooooooooze.

  10. I'll bet this guy finds a lot of things maddening.
  11. How many times do you need the stats posted showing significant improvement over his last 16 games? Stop getting distracted by someone rattling a set of car keys.
  12. stop before i have to start using NWS gifs No need to be a creep. http://netdna.tvovermind.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/andy-dwyer-gifs-10.gif

  15. he typed up that post while power [expletive] Yessss.
  16. To go alongside this, Cutler's projected 16 game totals based on his play this year 416/611 68.1% 4,469 yards 7.32 YPA 35 TD 16 INT 97.4 rating http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ldgald7yWQ1qdnwe0.gif
  17. Are you saying that because he didn't make sentence to help you form an opinion? Just wait someone will help you. I am assuming this was translated to Japanese and then back to English, right? BUT CUBINNY HAS FANCY PLANS...and pants to match.

  19. In my dreams they just level the whole thing.
  20. Using something as broad as just playoff appearances allows you to do just that. Playoff success is impossible for a GM to control (unless we want to bury Billy Beane). Regular-season win totals are tricky because it flies in the face of the "60 wins are no worse than 75" philosophy of rebuilding. So I guess what you're saying is there's just nothing we can do to improve the evaluation process and it's just the Wild West of focusing on whatever we like about guys. Maybe we really can't do any better than that? Maybe. Booga-booga-boo.
  21. Using something as broad as just playoff appearances allows you to do just that.
  22. Ok. Are we judging on that? Because that knocks out Beane and puts in Sabean. What I am looking for is a coherent set of standards that create a top tier (Beane, Friedman, Epstein?) that clearly differentiates them from Sabean, mozeliak, cashman, Jocketty, duquette, etc. There is not, of course, one set of concrete criteria by which to judge this given the variety of contexts. You know it, and it's a stupid tangent. That sounds an awful lot like the same kind of reasoning that gives MVPs to the guy with the most RBIs. It's just the "we know it when we see it" argument, which isn't something the sabermetric community should ever be accepting as an answer. So explain what YOU think is the clear cut criteria for deeming someone a successful GM. Don't do this B.S. dance of acting like the burden of proof is on everyone else to make your point for you.
