    I feel like some people are relying far too heavily on completely unproven ranking systems to determine the value of football players. Isn't this like the antithesis of NSBB? I mean, I understand that baseball advanced metrics are a million times more reliable and proven, but there was a time when they weren't as widely acclaimed. Also, there's a lot of discussion of PER in NBA threads, FO ratings are used as gospel in most NFL threads, and even pass blocking efficiency (which is the ranking system I assume you're referring to) has been used to make many an argument without being questioned. Why all the sudden is this system "completely unproven"? I may be in the minority, but I think it's just as ludicrous when people value a baseball player solely on WAR. All numbers are useful, but determining a player's worth based on one number or formula isn't that helpful. i don't want to get into a discussion of WAR in the bears thread, but WAR is essentially a formula based on a lot of numbers.

    I really don't know how this rating system works, but the 49ers were #1 and their stud had a +40.4 rating vs. the -0.8 rating for the Bears 'stud' Yep. As the summary for the Bears said, their best lineman just "don't get beat regularly". oddly enough, FO has the bears as better in pass blocking than the niners.

    it was never cute. but yes, somebody actually thought it was an english communication once. the grandest wordsmith of all time at that. lay off the guy, it's not like he was pursuing a career in journalism or anything where grammar is important the coincidental thing is that he was hired to do kyle's old job.

    The accusation was not made toward Trestman. What is he supposed to refute? He's a lawyer, is he not? I'm sure he sees no upside to responding to this stupid storyline. and it makes total sense to tell everyone and anyone when you are trying to throw the largest sporting event in the world. i'm sure he wanted everyone to know.

    his act is really funny, though

    why on earth would anyone watch the dodgers? is there really 8 billion dollars worth of dodger fans? what is the impetus for spending this money?

    At best, he's maybe (?) a marginal upgrade to Cutler. I think they're probably about equal. Thinking this team will somehow turn around by giving up multiple first round picks to get Flacco is stupid, especially when that decision is based on one half of a game. Flacco would have been murdered behind our line by now.

    smith you skinny white trash-looking [expletive]. somebody put the end of their stick in doan's face, too
  23. Magnetic Curses
    One more early in the period and I'd bet it happens. Although he's gotten smoked by some of the most gifted offensive players in the league. Not much of this has been his fault. All that said I still want him to skate off hanging his head in shame. that would be great
