My Friends Call Me Tebucky Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Agree with pretty much everything. Just a couple of minor disagreements- don't think Lynch deserves an A. Pretty good year, improved in the passing game, but he wasn't a huge impact player every week. It might have been partially blocking, but that doesn't explain why Jackson put up better YPC numbers. Not all of Jackson's carries were draws on 3rd and 12... I'd give Kyle Williams higher than a C. He's a starter in my opinion. If we're trying to get a Pro Bowler at every position, yeah, he's not good enough. But they have much bigger problems than him. I think a C for Duke Preston is generous...why do they keep him? They like his versatility apparently, or so they claim. To me that just means he sucks at a variety of positions. I'd bump Jabari Greer up a bit too, unless you're factoring injuries. I thought the only receiver that really got the better of him was Welker. Plus, 2 pick 6's on a team that didn't make many play defensively.

I don't think Lynch earns an A given his propensity for drops. Jackson deserves HIS A, so long as it's for his work as a BACKUP. I'm sorry, but JP Losman deserves the lowest grade of anyone on this team. If he gets a 'D,' then the next lowest grade has to be a D+. There's no way Peters, Ellison, Royal, Fowler, and Simpson had an equally negative impact this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsWatch Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Is this a bell shaped curve, a college grading curve, a high school curve or what? Pretty harsh at several points (F and A were too easily given depending upon whether liked ratee). I'd also have given a couple of I's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
