Re: NFL Week 13
Not going to track Over/Unders anymore, as they don't really seem to work all that well.
Fortunately, I worked Cleveland into my parlay and killed it. Good job whoever got that personal foul penalty!

Re: NFL Week 13
Teams on byes are not counted and I haven't fixed that yet.
Raiders pass the Panthers to move into the top spot for the toughest schedule, the Steelers move into last place with the easiest schedule so far. I wonder if the Raiders sucked enough last week to actually make Atlanta good enough to push them into the top spot?

Whoa check out the New Orleans/Denver game....I had 31-10 in the week 12 thread but that was before docking Denver's offense for "not having a fuckin' quarterback".

Re: NFL Week 13
Only one slight injury mod at the time being, a minor downgrade to 49ers offense.

Re: NFL Week 13
Gave the Ravens a downgrade too but it's not really going to do anything significant.

Re: NFL Week 13
It’s in Arizona. But the Niners are probably also practicing there too, so I don’t think it would make sense to dock them. Interesting projection.
Re: NFL Week 13
Uhhh yeah - this is going to have to be taken into account every week. There's no way that wouldn't affect players.

Re: NFL Week 13
In the offseason I may try to tie the teams together more - ie adjustments to one team affect the other more.

If you were the Jets, why would you fire Gase now? He almost guarantees you get the number 1 pick. You couldn't pay a guy to lose on purpose and get better results.

Re: NFL Week 13
Is getting a slightly higher pick worth hurting the development of your young payers and having a horrible situation that will make your good players want to leave? It seems the "tank for" strategy only works occasionally. Is Trevor Lawrence supposed to be the next Peyton Manning or Andrew Luck?

Re: NFL Week 13
Should the Jets take Trevor Lawrence? I've got a personal bias towards Darnold, as he is a phenomenal person, and it will bother me if they get rid of him without ever giving him a chance. He hasn't been good, but I don't think he can take the blame for that. He hasn't had much protection, has no run game at all, and an average receiving corp at best.Not to mention missing significant playing time due to illness and injury. Gase is absolutely horrible and just admitted the other day at a press conference that he was brought in to develop Darnold and he's failing in that task. Unless Lawrence is the second coming of Peyton Manning, I don't want the Jets to take him. If they do, and they keep Gase, I think Lawrence is destined to fail and I can see Darnold flourishing under a better situation. Darnold is still just 23 years old with 3 years of experience. OTOH, the Jets can get 3 more years out of a starting QB under a rookie contract, not that they come close to spending their cap allowance.

Re: NFL Week 13
How much of a benefit are you going to get from a few weeks of Greggggg as HC? Gase players seem to be fine after he leaves. And yeah Lawrence is supposed to be really good. I don't like him as much as everyone else seems to, but let's say you win a game. I guess if you like Fields more then try to win a game.EdRomero wrote: ↑Fri Dec 04, 2020 10:29 am Is getting a slightly higher pick worth hurting the development of your young payers and having a horrible situation that will make your good players want to leave?

This was my mock in the Darnold year: viewtopic.php?p=196891#p196891
My biggest fear with Darnold was that he had too much Jameis in him and I think that's played out. Plus, what do you do now? Pay him Nick Foles money and cross your fingers?
Lawrence is another one of these guys like Allen and Herbert who have all the physical gifts but still do a lot of weird shit in college that you'd think would be a bad thing, but then they get to the NFL and the physical traits work out. Both Lawrence and Fields are in one-read offenses where they don't really go through any progressions, they just look at a guy and throw it to him. What Lawrence does have though is a tremendous deep ball and that alone is enough for me to pull the trigger on the talent.

Re: NFL Week 13
So if anything I'd say Lawrence is the second coming of Justin Herbert, one year later. Once Herbert got into an NFL offense, he suddenly played like Burrow did at LSU. The deep passing ability is what allows him to do that, otherwise teams would just sit in cover 2 against him all day and take away the short throws. 90% of Herberts throws are like 5 yards in the air with 5+ YAC, and the dimes he throws 50 yards downfield are what allows him to do it.

Re: NFL Week 13
Just saw this, as luck would have it:
1. Mac Jones: 4.6 passes per game of 20-plus yards, 57% completion rate, 26.4 yards per pass, 10-2 TD-INT, 99.9 raw QBR
2. Zach Wilson: 4.3 per game, 69% completion rate, 27.2 yards per pass, 7-0 TD-INT, 99.9 raw QBR
3. Justin Fields: 3.0 per game, 73% completion rate, 27.2 yards per pass, 5-1 TD-INT, 99.9 raw QBR on said passes
4. Kyle Trask: 4.4 per game, 57% completion rate, 19.9 yards per pass, 8-1 TD-INT, 99.5 raw QBR
5. Ian Book: 3.3 per game, 40% completion rate, 15.9 yards per pass, 1-0 TD-INT, 89.0 raw QBR
6. Trevor Lawrence: 4.9 per game, 38% completion rate, 16.1 yards per pass, 5-2 TD-INT, 85.2 raw QBR
Obviously a lot goes in this other than how good the QB is.

Re: NFL Week 13
I'll add one more thing - both Fields and Lawrence will stand in there and take HUGE hits as they throw. I noted that Darnold seems to flee to his right to the point that it's almost like a tic, and the "seeing ghosts" doesn't help. It was a bit of an issue with Dwayne Haskins. It is not even on the radar with the top two guys this year.Gunpowder wrote: ↑Fri Dec 04, 2020 11:20 am So if anything I'd say Lawrence is the second coming of Justin Herbert, one year later.

The main issue I can see with Lawrence on these is that if he's going deep, it's determined before the snap. Same with Fields but to a lesser degree. I've only watched a very little bit so far, to be fair.

Yeah, my very first thought about him after reading the retirement note, above, was about him clocking that guy on the field when he was in college.

Re: NFL Week 13
but the problem with Trask's Heisman candidacy (and Mac Jones' too) is that there are very good arguments to be made that they are not the best offensive players on their teams. you could try to make that with Burrow last year (Chase) but it was far, far weaker.

Re: NFL Week 13
Maybe it was just a generalized unnecessary roughness, but they definitely called it roughing the passer. I would think a defense needs to have more leash on a trick play
