We need a development league, but this is not the answer. I don't think the A-11 is either. Go back to Europe please.Condolences, and my thoughts are with you, wienke :[
Are you people ready for more football
Go Bolts

Those are like the most worthless analytics ever. Foles has like the worst completion percentage in the league.
33. Derek Carr
34. Ryan Tannehill
35. Tom Brady
Seems legit.
He throws deep a lot and he doesn't get sacked. For some reason that I can't even begin to fathom, those are the two numbers that all members of the nascent NFL stats community have determined are most important.
Baffles me.
Sorry for your loss WienkeMy father passed away this morning.
No parents, grandparents, siblings, wife, kids, pets or anything left. Feels bad man.
I want to punch Mike Florio in the face. Is that wrong?

Eagles coach Chip Kelly is preparing to face DeSean Jackson for the first time since cutting him in the offseason, and Kelly claims that the only reason he cut Jackson is that Jackson didn’t fit the profile of his offense.
Asked how much concern Kelly had about Jackson off the field, Kelly answered, “Zero.”
So why was Jackson cut?
“Yeah, just trying to build the overall team in terms of what we’re looking for offensively and how we wanted to get bigger at the wideout spot and that’s what we did,” Kelly said.

Don't know if this was posted but Chip Kelley on DeSean's release:

It's just the "sabermetrics" of the NFL. Completion percentage doesn't matter, a failed attempt at a big play is better than a successful little play. Also not taking bad plays (sacks) is equally important.
That ranking is fucking dumb though, as is any that doesn't have Rodgers at 1.
Just curious when Smash comes out are gonna NFL-GAF it up? I'll probably get my ass kicked in the game though since I play Link but it's cool

Sorry to hear that wienke. My condolences. I wish I could give you an Exotic in Destiny!
FFXII hasn't been announced as an HD remake right? That was just a wonderful dream I had?
Best list ever. Fokles at the top is a joke but Brady in last is the truth.1. Nick Foles
2. Matt Stafford
3. Austin Davis
4. Joe Flacco
5. Matt Ryan

It's pretty much the conclusion of the media here in Philly that Jackson didn't buy into Chip Kelly's system, and for that reason Chip Kelly didn't want him around. I think it's pretty dumb. They should have kept him around for another year and tried to see if their drafts panned out or they could get another good receiver if that was the problem.
IMO they should just put Boykin on Jackson all day Sunday. Although I think Boykin may be next on Kelly's cut list for some insane reason.
Yeah but I have yet to read any research that says those two lead to scoring more points, or that the risks of an interception/fumble (not unlikely outcomes of rushed delivery) are worth the negative impact of a sack.
Sabermetrics works because it is built on 30 years of research that went into understanding what increases the likelihood of a Run. It seems to me that these football wannabe stat nerds skipped the underlying, fundamental work that is required and simply started assigning random values to Visible outcomes.
I think my favorite exchange ever with someone at PFF was his insistence that QB's had absolutely, literally, without a doubt ZERO impact on yards after the catch. That one was a real winner for me, and showed just how far these lazy clowns have to go.

Everyone continues to talk shit about Brady yet he will go out and lead the Pats to 10/11 wins again.
The thing that bothers me about putting emphasis on low sacks as a positive rating for a QB is that like 80% of that has nothing to do with the QB and everything to do with the line.
I'm still willing to trust Chip. He has proven that he can make any necessary half time adjustments and has put together the leading offense in the league through 2 games with poor QB play.
Every sack is different. Most sacks that Rodgers takes are his fault. The sacks that David Carr takes he is just fucked on most of the time. Big Ben is a nice mix. Cam, most of them are his fault, etc...
But, Rodgers has stated time and time and time again that he would rather take the sack than risk a pick/fumble trying to get the ball away under duress. I think it's a sound strategy as long as you have faith in your offense to move the football.
I almost feel bad for the Raiders. Tuck Rule essentially destroyed their franchise
Also this seems incredibly random..30 losses in a row.
there's always some excuseYay for playing weak competition? Do you think all these lists that keep putting him at or near the bottom are just doing it to be mean? Even Pats fans will say that he has not played well this year.

@VicTafur
Mark Davis and Reggie McKenzie aren’t talking. So that 2-week window before the bye for Dennis Allen to turn things around seems about right
We have our first HC-in-danger of the season!
Yeah, I think he's doing a good job. I can sort of see with how the offense works that it might be tough to get it to work smoothly without a full buy in from the team. If one person doesn't hustle back to the line they can't get plays communicated and snaps off effectively. If they don't take the time to learn what seems like a very complicated signalling regime they won't be as effective as they could be. Maybe Jackson whined about putting up blocks for the the running game. Who knows. I don't know if any of that justifies cutting a player who opened up the field vertically in such an incredible manner.
While that is true. I think that teams having to account for not only McCoy and Sproles but also now Ertz is probably more effective than just Jackson. I'm hoping Foles puts together a complete game this week and we get to the offense at near full potential.
:jnc :jncAnd little Gata got to meet his idol, the one destined to lead the Jags out of last place in their division and into third place once the Lions cut him for wasting Megatron's prime.
This place would suck without me

Eh it is well documented that West Coast teams struggle going to the East Coast, and even more so when it is a 10 am game.

And the same shit is spewed at the beginning of every seasonthe last few years and he just keeps winning games.
I've beat the "beating teams in a shitty division" drum like everyone else but facts are facts: he keeps winning and in the end that is ALL that matters

I had no idea that winning regular season games was all that matter. I look forward to seeing Mcnabb voted into the HoF this year now.

It looks like Mychal Kendricks will be out on Sunday. Is anyone else hyped to see Casey Matthews play?
Actually, perhaps the only good news to come out of this is that they are reportedly training Marcus Smith at ILB and maybe he will get some reps at the position instead of Casey Matthews. You basically have to be in a wheelchair to be worse than Casey Matthews so this seems like a positive.
People talk shit about every popular and good player. Watt gets mostly good attention though he seems like a rare exception to the rule.Everyone continues to talk shit about Brady yet he will go out and lead the Pats to 10/11 wins again.
Clearly the only choice to fix this is relocating to SA and take that sweetheart stadium deal the city would give him.@VicTafur
