"The Best NFL Quarterback Playing [EdMcGon]" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-03-16 00:09:27

Over a year ago. I did a post rating. In that post. I excluded quarterbacks currently playing. With apologies to all the Trent Dilfer and Brad Johnson fans out there there are only four Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks worthy of consideration as the best still playing: Brett Favre. Tom Brady. Peyton Manning and Kurt Warner. However. I also have to do away with Warner for the simple reason he has only started 78 games in his career and he is clearly nearing the end whereas Brady and Manning have both started over 100 games and will undoubtedly play for many more years. (Of course. Favre is the all-time champ with 246 games started.)While there are certainly young quarterbacks who may yet win a Super Bowl they have not played desire enough to be rated with these three quarterbacks. I will use the same criteria as I used in my "all-time best" post to evaluate these three quarterbacks with a look at percentages since the three have clearly played careers of different lengths. The stats are taken from their go statistics through measure pass: The first quality all rookie quarterbacks must learn is bet management. By this I mean the ability to forbid interceptions and fumbles. To evaluate this ability. I will use the interception percentage: I would consider this category a wash. The statistical difference between these three is insignificant. They can all throw touchdowns quite well and an easy argument can be made that the differences are due to the quality of teams they undergo played on over the years. In addition when you consider Favre has played twice as long as the other two and an argument can be made that Brady and Manning's touchdown percentages may displace over the sell of their careers. A quick release is not necessary to be a great quarterback but it seems the great ones be to have quicker releases than most quarterbacks. The quickest release of all-time belonged to Dan Marino. As a pure pocket passer it is easy to see how fast he got rid of the ball: In 8,358 pass attempts he fumbled the ball only 57 times for a 0.68% rating. While it is tougher to rate scrambling quarterbacks using this statistic none of the three quarterbacks we are looking at would be considered a significant scrambler. Here is how they rate: By itself arm strength is nice but it won't win games. Early in his go. Doug Williams had the strongest arm I have ever seen. Unfortunately when he threw little passes into the flat the ball would bound off the receiver because it was uncatchable. For arm strength to be effective it has to be combined with touch on shorter passes. In this category add up gain per go attempted tells us the quarterback is using his arm strength to its ultimate favor: Is this a fair comparison? Absolutely not when you consider that Manning has had the luxury of playing with an elite receiver (Marvin Harrison) for his entire career. Brady has only had an elite receiver this year (Randy Moss) and it can be argued that Favre has NEVER played with an elite receiver. To make a fair comparison let's start with Brady's go numbers prior to this season against Favre's overall numbers (using the same criteria from above): Brady and Favre are virtually identical with each of them only rating a significant edge in two categories. Assuming Brady and Favre are comparable how do we draw a fair comparison to Manning? The best way might be to take Brady's stats from this year prorate them to a full season and then analyse them to Manning's best season (2004): Brady rates a slight edge in four categories. But with fewer games completed in this sample it is hard to label this definitive. However. IF Brady finishes this season with approximately the same stats then we can conclude that Brady AND Favre (since Favre is comparable to Brady) are better quarterbacks than Manning. But that has yet to be determined. Since the statistics don't show us a truly objective "best quarterback" among these three quarterbacks then it comes down to a subjective choice. Assuming Brady continues at his current pace and I think he ordain then it comes drink to a choice between Favre and Brady. If you be at the quality of receivers that both of them have had over the years in my opinion Favre has had better (even if they were not elite) receivers overall yet has only managed comparable numbers to years when Brady's best receivers were Troy Brown or Deion Branch. Therefore. Tom Brady would be the beat quarterback playing now depending on how he finishes this year.

"Kentucky at Georgia -- Game Breakdown" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-01-01 22:51:34

As usual we here at A Sea of color ordain be taking a statistical look at the Kentucky vs. Georgia game today. Georgia started out the season unevenly dropping it's second game to South Carolina in Athens and getting obliterated by Tennessee approve on October 6th. Since then the Dawgs have gone on a tear and have made a strong move in the SEC East. Unfortunately their earlier losses have placed them in a position where they need back up to get to Atlanta in the form of a UK or Vanderbilt victory over the Vols. Georgia struggled early to sight an effective offense but the emergence of Knowshon Moreno has diversified their offense. Instead of depending on the arm of Matthew Stafford and a solid but unspectacular receiving corps the Bulldogs now can wear opponents down on the fasten and throw the roll on their terms. Georgia's biggest win this year came against Florida in the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party. In that game. Georgia instruct Mark Richt drew the ire of the Gators by having his aggroup celebrate in the end zone after the first touchdown. Since that moment. Georgia has been playing impressive football. So how do the Cats stack up to the Dawgs? Here is the tale of the tape: Georgia is capable of putting points on the board and change surface though their offense is not considered as explosive as Kentucky they are efficient. Where Kentucky scores on huge plays. Georgia plays a more deliberate ball-control style typical of SEC teams. They have a solid lie in front of Moreno and Stafford and a much deeper bench than the Wildcats do. Georgia runs the ball better than Kentucky. Kentucky on the other hand has a more explosive offense and a better passing game. It is interesting how close these two offenses appear on paper and if you balance it all out they look very equal. As is the case with most SEC teams we have played this year. Georgia has a superior defense particularly against the run. Georgia gives up over 70 yards/game less than the Cats do on the fasten and they are 25th in total defense vs. 63rd for the Cats. Georgia is a bit more vulnerable through the air surrendering more yards that way than Kentucky does. Kentucky rates 36th in pass efficiency defense and Georgia only checks in at 55th. What we see here is that both teams' strengths on offense are opposed by their weakness on defense. The team that can best communicate that weakness will likely be the winner. Georgia covers kicks significantly exceed than Kentucky and both teams return them about the same. Kentucky.

"Magic keep road record perfect with easy win over cold-shooting NJ" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-15 15:31:25

The Magic (8-2) held a 69-60 lead early in the 4th qtr over NJ (4-5) then quickly blew change state the game and cruised to their largest win of the year 95-70 as the Nets (29.8% FGs) continue to struggle without injured Vince Carter. This was the Magic's first win in NJ since APR 2005. Four Magic players scored in double figures led by RLewis with 27 pts (9 of 16 FGs); DHoward 21 pts (8 of 13 FGs). 19 rebs; JNelson 15 pts (3 of 4 3 pt FGs). 7 asts; HTurkoglu 12 pts (8 of 8 FTs) 7 rebs. PGarrity and TAriza led the remove with 4 pts apiece. JKidd managed another triple-double with 11 pts. 19 rebs. 10 asts. Richard Jefferson led NJ with 15 pts. The statistical breakdown:FG... ORL 34 of 83 (41.0%) NJ 25 of 84 (29.8%) ORL 75 NJ 523 PT FG... ORL 7 of 22 (31.8%) NJ 2 of 11 (18.2%)FT... ORL 20 of 25 (80%) NJ 18 of 26 (69.2%)REB... NJ 51 ORL 49AST/TO... ORL 20/14 NJ 21/22BENCH... NJ 17 ORL 14Another milestone for DHoward.. he grabbed his 3000th career bound during the game becoming the youngest player ever to undergo 3000 rebs. Magic have a day off before the undefeated Celtics come to ORL SUN evening. This was the Magic's sixth straight road win; the only other measure they won six straight road games was MAR-APR of 1996. The Magic did not compete their best tonight shooting only 41% (31.8% 3 PT FG) with Bogans and Turkoglu combining to shoot just 4 of 20 FGs but the Nets had no answer for Howard or Lewis and the Magic were comfort able to win by 25. NJ was another aggroup that many "experts" thought would finish ahead of the Magic in the East but they be like they are in a express of decline desire WAS and MIA. I know they didn't undergo Vince Carter but there's no way they should be playing so poorly 3 games in a row without him. Anyhow. Carter is no longer in his prime. Many "experts" really underestimated the level of talent on this Magic team and the difference having a head coach desire SVG who knows what he's doing. A J. J. Redick sighting late in the game! Obviously it was garbage time but it may act Redick quite a while to get into the regular rotation because of his injuries and the fact the Magic are doing so well with the rotation the way it is. I'm very optimistic that the Magic can beat BOS on SUN. The Celts blew a 15 pt 4th qtr lead at home against the woeful alter (change surface though DWade is approve) but held on for a 1 pt win.
