Sporting News ranks all 32 NFL coaches for 2019
oldmanfan replied to Bubba Gump's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It's silly to rank any guy who has never coached a game in the NFL before. Again, this is what happens when you have to fill a website every day with stuff. Guys write nonsense just to fill a space. -

Another example of the problems with having to fill a space every 24 hours. -
Aaron Schatz Football Outsiders-- Still Doubts Josh
oldmanfan replied to JESSEFEFFER's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I mentioned this earlier but one of the confounders on this ball placement stuff is how much you put on the QB and how much you put on the receiver. We've all seen times after an incompletion where the QB points at himself to say it was his fault, and vice versa with the receiver. So, while I can't quantitate it, there are throws any QB makes where they put it right where they wanted but the receiver didn't get to the spot. -

If someone has a mechanical issue, such as the ball coming out of his hand a bit early, they can be precise but not be as close to the target as they want I.e. Inaccurate. Like a pitcher than keeps throwing high. Puts it pretty much in the same spot but not in the strike zone.Or a QB that oversteps during his delivery. When you say he has to put a ball in a precise spot where a WR can catch it and run, that is precision. Great throwers are both accurate and precise. And if you look look at the work done by two guys on this board who looked at a multitude of throws Allen made and graded each ine you will see he was nowhere near as inaccurate as you want to think. -
Who Should Be Next On The Wall Of Fame?

McDole is also a good one. Biscuit too. Reggie McKensie. Kyle and Fred will be there eventually. Another guy that hasn't been mentioned is Tony Greene. -

Byrd without question. -
That's what Deranged said. I think there was evidence of a crime, so you investigate. And more to the point, investigations occur precisely to determine if a crime occurred. So for those of you that think Clinton, Comey, Brennan, et al should be investigated, assuming there is evidence of a crime I'm all for investigation. The argument is what constitutes evidence.

My analogy is fine. You just don't want to accept it. You tried to shut down another thread by saying the subject is being discussed in other threads.. I jump in here from time to time, but it is clear there are no real discussions here. This side of the board is you and persons of your ilk all just propping each other up with your conspiracy theories. For me, investigate everything. Impeach Trump so you get all the data out, bring Clinton, Comey, whomever you want up for investigation. Throw all of them in jail and maybe then we can get people in Washington thata ctually want to work together for the good of the country vs. this incessant nonsense that we have to deal with all the time.

I get the acting thing for sure. My daughter is a professional actor and singer and I hear that all the time, trust me. In fact, she is waiting t hear from the Bills if she gets to sing the anthem this year. The Bills put out a request for singers, and she just kills the anthem. Keep your fingers crossed. -

We are just going to have to disagree on accuracy vs. precision. They are different things. I appreciate your dictionary reference and Thurman has also thrown this out as somehow suggesting it ends the discussion. But anyone who has studied statistics knows they are different. All NFL QBs have to be accurate; they would never even get a whiff of an NFL practice field if they are not. But the greats combine that with being very precise, or pinpoint if you want to use that, or ball placement if that works for you. i join with you in hoping and anticipating that we'll see significant improvement in our young QB. -
