Okay, I went into this trying to take a sample of some of the highest paid and best RB's in the NFL(over the past 5ish years) to see what the data showed in regards to performance in wins and losses. I went into it with a specific thing I was looking for and the data sort of indicates that. 

I'd like to see some interpretations of this information from a few people to see what their conclusions were. Also open to modifying to include additional players or stats.

 

I'm also insanely hungover right now, so if I fuged up some of these calcs, let me know.

I think an interesting outlier is Dalvin Cook. His stats being definitively better in wins is much more like the guys with winning overall records. 

But, you have to consider that last year and this year, Minnesota's biggest successes came from him being the focal point of the offense. Maybe that is one thing that is tough to account for, the style of offense that each team runs.

I'm not sure what you're hoping to prove/disprove. 

No matter how you color his contract, he is a playmaker, and is paid as such.  

I was initially going in to show that high paid RB's generally don't have a big impact on W's and L's, but I don't think the data really showed that. Definitely not the way I expected.

Or teams give the ball to their running backs when they have shitty qb play.

Seems to say running creates wins or winning teams foster running. Though I'm not sure any big conclusions can be drawn.

 

Are teams winning because the running more or are they running more because they are winning?

Teams that win a lot tend to be ahead in a lot of games (duh).  Teams tend to run more when ahead.

Teams that lose a lot tend be behind in a lot of games.  Teams tend to pass more when behind.

What if you looked at how well a team runs on a per carry basis?  Do the numbers change if you look at YPC?

Gonna take a look at that now.

I understand if you think he’s overpaid or it was a bad move. What I don’t get is how this is relevant to the topic of problematic bad contracts and crippling cap allocation decisions to the point it’s all people ever talk about.

I mean I get it, so I’ll add it to the list...it’ll be point #37.

Not really what I am after. Moreso looking at high paid/high performing RB's as a whole. None of my CMC's views are about him the player, it's about RB the position.

It's a sea of green in the averages, outside of CMC and Saquon. I also wonder how badly CMC's numbers have been shifted because of our attempts last season to boost his stats in garbage games rather than to try and win. 

I am gonna break down CMC's year by year splits and see if maybe last year permanently skewed all his data.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I guess so. Don't think I was involved with previous discussions.  Tepper is one of the newest owners in the NFL. Dan is going into his 3rd season as a GM - ever. Dave is going into his 3rd season as a HC - ever. Before becoming a HC, he was an OC/playcaller for one season total. Idzik is about to go into his 1st year as a play caller - ever. WRs are rookies, sophomores and 3rd year guys - though the experienced 3rd year guys are XL and Coker (who has missed a ton of games). TEs are guys going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, and Tommy Tremble - though Sanders has missed a ton of games. QB has played 3 years. Chuba is an experienced RB, but Brooks and Etienne have taken very little snaps at the position. O-line is more experienced vets with some talent - which is HUGE. Need them to stay healthy. I mean the offense is very young in every aspect except O-line. You see it differently?

      I said this ALL last season and will say it again this year. Our record means diddly squat this year, I don't care if we have 0 wins or 17 wins, I only care about one thing and one thing only. Bryce proves without a shadow of a doubt that he IS or ISN'T our long term solution at QB. It's the only thing that matters for the same reason it sucks that this is the same thing as last year.  This needs to be determined, and if they can't determine it, then it's still telling the team the answer, just not the one they want to hear. As right now we're in the ultimate QB purgatory, a position that dooms franchises for years.  Just look at a team like the Cardinals, who extended a better QB and it still screwed them over and haven't had a contending team in a long time. People get too caught up on wins and losses when evaluating players, particularly QBs.  When people look at the final record and use that as a reason to want to extend a QB or not is just a fools errand.  If we had lost 2-3 more games last year because we didn't make a last second FG, I genuinely wonder if we would have just moved on from Bryce this offseason (like we should have been doing anyways IMHO).
