Vick is an Eagle

And why is that?

Personal preference, don't take it to heart. I quit it after the 06 season, I won over $600 in my two leagues. I just hated saying something like this... I hope Turner gets 150 yards and 3 td's but hope Atl loses, or I hope (insert player name) does well against the Panthers but we win anyway. It made me feel lesser of a man, I am more happy without it, other than the small amount of competitiveness I get out of it against other people. Plus stats are for nerds...or Saints fans.

I actually picked up jackson because he was a Cal guy, and that's my NCAA team. And when it comes to FF, I am the ultimate Panthers homer so I don't have to deal with that kind of thing. I know what you are talking about though, because I sat Antonio Bryant last year in that one game against us just because I can not root for the fuginqueers for ANY reason, and then the SOB torched us. Pisses me off.

    • Per Adam Schefter: https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1920523706624823739 Expected, but just want to rub it in here.
    • I try to keep up and project the roster with color-coded charts.  You can see priorities and gauge who has the best chance of making the roster--you can see the priorities as well.  Here, Yellow is a 2025 draft pick, green is an undrafted free agent, and orange is a free agent. The depth chart will obviously change and I am not sure about roles (positions in all cases), so that is not the real issue at this time, but yellows and oranges show how the team focused on which aspects of the defense:     In the front 5, there were 3 draft picks, 3 free agents (not including players we re-signed), and two undrafted players signed. In the back 6, there was 1 draft pick and 2 free agents (LB, S), and four undrafted free agents. The undrafted free agents are always long shots, but by identifying them, you can tell which longshots might make the roster.
    • The rise of analytics in sports goes back to the use of sabermetrics in baseball.  The ironic thing is that the whole point of Bill James work was to objectively figure out each players contribution to to a team's wins throughout the season.  This is possible in baseball because each at bat is essentially a 1v1 with an objective outcome.  Applying statistical averages also works a lot better with hundreds of plate appearances over 162 games a year. PFF grades plays subjectively, and then puts them into buckets.  They then create different statistics based on those buckets.  That's all well and good and I'm not saying it's useless.  But calling it analytics like it's some kind of objective science is a far cry from what is actually going on.
