I'm averaging projected point totals from numerous sources. Then I'm applying that data to the salary cost to figure out which players give the highest expected return in relation to cost. PPPC (projected points per cost) if you will. With this information I'm creating a roster that mathematically has the maximum projected points possible given the restraints of cap space and player cost.

 

The mathematics pushed me into picking players I wouldn't normally. From my own personal eye test it looks like a middle of the road roster but this is what the math gives me as the best possible roster combination overall (at least according to projections). This will be the first week I'm trying this out, I'll update with how it goes.

This is what I do as well using footballguys projections. 

 

Hasn't worked very well lol

Somewhat promising results, still needs some fine tuning. I had 4 guys really flop and fall way under projections and still came within 2 points of cashing playing the double up. Actually I would have cashed if not for the built in house juice, oh well. Anyway, normally you can only get away with one or two flops for a week and still cash so this is actually somewhat promising even though I just barely missed the money.

 

I did all the calculations by hand this time but I'm gonna go ahead and write a program that will run through all possible roster combinations (I think there's about 600 million) and spit out the top 10 maximum projected rosters possible. Then I'll choose a few to play from there. Also, going to research to find the most accurate projections as those are key.

Nice. I think I will do the same and we can compare rosters. Unfortunately I don't have the software to run through all 600M combos but can do a few hundred thousand or use a solver.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
