one of my favs. i made it a point to see it the day it opened since i'm(still) an aspiring screenwriter. everything clicked and great characters. any move that works in Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty is ok in my book.

It's a movie I can't believe that I love. I mean if I heard the description:

"Well it's about a math genius working as a janitor at MIT, and then he is forced into therapy and goes on a journey of self-discovery while trying to manage his responsibilities to his mentor and court the woman of his dreams."

I would have spent all of 5 seconds in deciding not to see it. And yet, it's just so entertaining, it's a fantastic movie. I've never actually said, "I want to see Good Will Hunting" popped in the DVD and watched it, but every time it's on, I don't even boother channel surfing.

It's probably my favorite movie.

Will: My father was an alcoholic. Mean fugin' drunk. Used to come home hammered, looking to whale on someone. So I had to provoke him, so he wouldn't go after my mother and little brother. Interesting nights were when he wore his rings...He used to just put a belt, a stick, and a wrench on the kitchen table and say, "Choose."

Sean: Well, I gotta go with the belt there.

Will: I used to go with the wrench.

Sean: Why?

Will: Cause fug him, that' why.

Rounders is better.

This, and a lot of that has to do with Edward Norton.

GWH also a great film - love the scene where Damon's character owns that Harvard snob in the bar. Watch and enjoy, love this...

    • Yards a game works better over a longer period of time as well. Averages always work out over the long run. The smaller the sample size the easier it is to skew. Also opponents matter more when the size is small. Player 1 lights up 2 bad defenses in 4 starts vs Player 2 playing 10 games vs multiple defenses. It hard to make it apples to apples how it currently sits. Remember during Bryce’s little run last year how annoyed you were when people were pulling Bryce’s starts from week 9 on vs the whole season. 
    • Someone else claimed I said EVERY.  Literally in my post breaking it down it gave Bryce TDs per game.   Shough however has the majority in his favor if just looking at starts. whats subjective about comp %, yards, QB ratings and turnovers?  Now I guess the argument one might make off them could be subjective.  But all I’m saying is statistically as a starter he has been better this year overall.  I don’t think Shough is great.  I think he is impressive based on the situation.  2nd rounder stepping in on a bad team.   And he like so many other QBs…..serves as little red flag going off about what we are doing here offensively. 
    • Player A - 2 starts.  200 yards in each start. He averages 200 yards a game.  Player B - 1 start.  Throws for 400 yards.  Comes in another random game and has 1 pass attempt on a Hail Mary to end the game that goes incomplete.   Now given the random game he appeared for a snap, he averages 200 yards a game. Thats why you isolate starts. If you are talking starter vs someone who began as a backup.  Simple made up numbers/situations to illustrate the point.
