Since it came up in another thread and it's tangentially related, here's what Lady Cowboy Fan got me for my birthday...

You seem like a good ole’ dude and I’m grateful you keep bringing yourself back to this site.

Have you ever read "Blood, Sweat, and Chalk" by Tim Layden? It's an origin story of the modern game's formation and play designs.

"This is one of the most important sports books of our generation-and a lot of fun too. The formations and philosophies that win Super Bowls and national titles are made crystal clear. If you live for fall weekends, this is your book." - Peter King

I'll put it on my list.

Let’s hope he knows more about evaluating NFL personnel than he did about running pizza parlors 

He was 15 years ahead of the curve. That's why that place didn't work out. The food and service were great, but other than Ballantyne Village and Stonecrest, that area was a ghost town on weeknights and weekends back then. Today that place would be packed to the gills with insufferable transplants, rich, old creeps with young wives, and their cougar ex-wives on the prowl.

I know it’s fun to pile on everything Rhule but his drafts have actually been above average and if you take out the Hurney year last years draft class legitimately was a really good one. Save the inexplicable Fletcher pick all of our picks contributed in spite of Rhule. I know we want to be negative all the time but nah this isn’t one I’m letting slide our scouts did a heck of a job once Fitt got here.

It's not so bad. Folks tend to leave you alone.

Snow and I will save a seat for you at the table. 

Not only do people tend to leave you alone, they also tend to not put you in situations that you don't want to be in to begin with.  It has a lot of advantages.

    • I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.
    • This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.
    • to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
