    Hey everyone, it's been a long time coming, but I'm finally ready to put up the results of what I've been working on over the season. I wanted to find a way to adjust a QB's play for what his defense does, and see how often a guy can overcome a bad performance from his defense, or likewise, fail to win even when the defense has a stellar game. In order to do that I needed a whole lot of data. Every single game a QB started or played most of the game (including postseason), the average amount of points a defense allowed in each year, and how often a QB won in those situations. So doing a lot of number crunching, and by examining the years in the Super Bowl Era, I came up with a list of 102 QB's, sorted by 4 separate eras marked by important rule changes or historical reasons. To qualify for this list, a QB must have had 90 starts (including postseason), or 80 starts in the dead ball era (14 game seasons meant I needed a little leeway). Starts in this case are games where the QB played most of or all of the game. (Tom Brady doesn't get credit for starting the game where Bernard Pollard broke his leg, for example). By having the data for all of the eras, you can find the expected win percentage of a QB in games where their defense played well, and the expected win percentage when their defense played poorly. This list is sorted by the player with the most wins above replacement in a 16 game season, to the player with the least. With all of that in mind, let's go ahead and start this list. Current List: Tier 7: Garbage (2 or more wins below the average starter a season) 102. Archie Manning (New Orleans Saints) (-2.886) Tier 6: Career Backup (1-2 wins below the average starter a season) 101. Chris Miller (Atlanta Falcons and Los Angeles/St. Louis Rams) (-1.335) 100. Jeff George (Indianapolis Colts, Atlanta Falcons and Oakland Raiders) (-1.162) 99. Ryan Fitzpatrick (Rams, Bengals, Bills, Titans, Texans, Jets, Bucs) (-1.123) 98. Steve DeBerg (San Francisco 49ers, Tampa Bay Bucs and Kansas City Chiefs) (-1.055) 97. Norm Snead (Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants) (-1.028) Tier 5: Journeyman (0.5-1 wins below the average starter a season) 96. Jon Kitna (Seattle Seahawks, Cincinnati Bengals, Detroit Lions) (-0.865) 95. Ron Jaworski (Philadelphia Eagles) (-0.841) 94. Vinny Testaverde (Tampa Bay Bucs, Cleveland Browns, Baltimore Ravens, New York Jets) (-0.807) 93. Jim Harbaugh (Chicago Bears, Indianapolis Colts, and San Diego Chargers) (-0.790) 92.

    https://therealnews.com/stories/global-tech-companies-renew-push-for-control-over-all-data This is a very important issue you won't see covered on TV but our world is rapidly changing as we advance technologically. We can't sit by and let the power of information/intelligence be consolidated and leveraged against workers.

    99. Ryan Fitzpatrick (St. Louis Rams 2005-2006, Cincinnati Bengals 2007-2008, Buffalo Bills 2009-2012, Tennessee Titans 2013, Houston Texans 2014, New York Jets 2015-2016, Tampa Bay Bucs 2017-Current) 4th Place Bills Quarterback and 7th Place Jets Quarterback Career Record 51-72-1 (41.53%) 93rd out of 102 Record in Games with Good Defense: 43-17-1 (71.31%) 76th out of 102 Record in Games with Bad Defense 8-55-0 (12.70%) 100th out of 102 Percentage of Games with Good Defense 61/124 (49.19%) 66th out of 102 Wins above Average Starter in a 16 Game Season (-1.123) (-1.136 with 2018 data) I should tell you that my numbers are only up to 2017, so it is possible that Ryan Fitzpatrick may have improved slightly over the past season (or not, who can say), but for whatever it's worth, sir Ryan here definitely deserves to be on the bottom of these kinds of lists. As a journeyman he's become sort of a legend around the league for supplant teams QB's with decent but not spectacular play, and then crapping the bed once he gained a starting role. Despite being on 7 teams in his career, he never started more than 16 games for any other teams besides the Bills and the Jets, but still managed to put out 124 games played (and counting) in his illustrious career. However despite teams constantly taking chances on him, he's proven to be below average in getting his teams over the hump, even when his teams put out good defensive performances. He's one of the better examples of performing well below what his defense gives him, at least most of the other guys around him have had hideous defenses to work with, Fitzpatrick's have been only slightly below average, and that scoring defense is hindered further by Fitzpatrick's propensity to throw interceptions. It's sort of a miracle that teams need to keep going to the Fitzpatrick well, but he just keeps finding a way to get in there.

    One of the funniest things on these forums is that BC thinks he knows anything about physical requirements just because he goes to the gym. Your muscle mass is going to deteriorate over one night of missed sleep? Please.

    They should have Lavar model all the jerseys.

    Petition to skip anyone who comes online and doesn't make their pick when its their turn. Twice. We won't name any names.

    No idea where others see Gossett, but he was too tempting to pass up, especially with Carolina needing a guard after losing Norwell. I don't want Silatolu to see the field if it at all possible.

    So far we have: 1. Courtland Sutton, WR: Cam needs more weapons and Sutton provides a big body WR who can go up and highpoint the ball. 2. Tyrell Crosby, OT: An actual potential franchise tackle, and we have no rush to get him on the field, given that we're stuck with Matt Kalil for one more year. If he beats out Kalil in training camp, I won't be complaining though. 3. Colby Gossett, OG: A nice replacement for Andrew Norwell, hopefully mitigating the loss somewhat. 4. Obgonnia Okoronkwo, OLB: Whether or not this is TD's last year, we need some more pass rushers, and Ogbonnia provides that.

    There's no reason we can't finish after the draft if need be.

    I propose a drastic solution: 2 hour clock. Get your boards in people.

    That was the easiest pick I've made all draft. Honestly I screwed up, I meant to take Elliot in round 5 but then I forgot about him when I made the pick because I had read MJD's mock about a power back and wanted to get one to pair with Cmac. Glad we decided to go at least six rounds.

    Yet I still think you have the stronger team compared to BC lol. Also lol @ the autodraft taking two kickers.

    Down, I will even take two teams this year if need be. Panthers for one, obviously.

    Man you are one salty bitch, peperroni nips. Saquon was great, but he didn't beat Gurley by much- and only in PPR- and that's only because Gurley was hurt two games. How'd Jimmy G do for ya? Or the vast majority of your bench? Aaron Jones is about the only good guy in there for fantasy purposes.
