there was some Corona commercial where Gruden flashes his SB ring and all the trash talk on Flacco makes me remember that. not saying either of them deserve one


Flacco 100% deserves his

that playoff run the ravens had, Flacco played near perfect football

FG is pixelated fake currency, it only has "value" because of nerds like you who buy in to the system. who is my boyfriend? & the value of FG doesn't go up over time? therefore it's not an investment (or at least not a good one). not surprised one of the nerdiest people on this forum trying to defend buying fg though.

I mean, I personally would never buy fg, but the fact people are willing to trade real-life items for fg makes it definitely worth something.

Like I could get a Nintendo Switch for like 40k or some shit on the real-life trading forum. Or I think you can just legally trade fg for some kind of CSGO/VGO keys, which can then be sold for cash.

So, while you may not agree with the idea of buying fg or valuing it whatsoever, fg definitely has value.

https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/pro-final-list-of-pffs-highest-graded-quarterbacks-in-the-nfl-in-2018

pff qb rankings are extremely flawed, they do something very similar to espn's qbr which makes the rating totally unreliable.
They rank qb most subjectively of any position.

For rodgers, they talk about how he took absolutely no risks as if it was a good thing.

Their numbers are made up, just like you did with his ranking on their list.

PFF's QB rankings look at the best possible outcome of a play and then compare that against what the QB actually did. It's highly subjective. Even successful plays (like a smart, safe dump-off that gets a first down) are going to be scored negatively if there was a bigger play available. QB is probably their least-useful evaluation, especially relative to the other stats that we already have elsewhere, which collectively paint a better picture.

Really PFF became useless to me after they made premium stats cost $1.5k/year. The grades themselves don't really matter. It's subjective. Interesting stats like yards per route run, QB's passer rating /w a particular receiver, WR's stats in the slot—stats that are more quantifiable are much more useful than an aggregate grade. About the only grades I care about are OL grades (because who honestly watches what O-linemen do outside their own team). And even then, the PFF analyst is constantly making judgment calls concerning blocking responsibilities, which they cannot truly know, and they do not divvy up responsibility for negative plays fairly/evenly (like if two players fuck up, only one player gets the negative grade for that play when ideally responsibility would be split).

Sure it has value but only to people who use d2jsp. Outstide of, it has no value, unlike say, actually IRL USD/$, which has value no matter where you are, not just on an internet forum.

You guys will have him with zero guaranteed money, so if he sucks, easy cut



I can see the move then. Elway MAY be feeling pressure this season to field a competent team so I expect at least 8-9 wins this season with Flacco. Hopefully he just needs a change of environment but I always thought he was a bit overhyped. And fuck Rahim Moore seriously.
