In a manner of speaking. It's a shitty representation. Basically you want to be close to 0 on Y but close to 250 on X. This basically shows what we all know: A. A. Ron is a great QB.

The QB numbers also seem completely meaningless since they even acknowledge they can't and don't grade QB's on anything pre-snap. So because Rogers puts himself in the position to make an easy throw by reading the defense and throwing to the soft spot by a pre-snap read that grades lower than if someone didn't see that and fit the ball into tight coverage.
nailed it. and not to make this about Brady, but this is something detractors argue. "Where's difficulty, he just dinks and dunks?"

It's not difficult because he's making it not difficult before the ball is even in his hands.

Watching that game last night.... man it sure would be nice to have an O line that gave me 5 seconds to pass every time. Not belittling Rodgers as he is a really, really good QB... but damn. I'd like to think if Luck had that time he wouldn't be on course for a 32 INT season.

Actually it's a pretty great representation, because it shows you the broad band on the graph where most QB's fall into. Rodgers being such an outlier just shows how ridiculous his ratio is.

SANTA CLARA - "Winning isn't the only thing that matters. Winning with class is what matters."

Those were the words of Jed York during a now infamous KNBR radio segment in Dec. 2014.

York, and the rest of his power-hungry front office rallied as much support as possible for their shiny new stadium, and along the way, promised to pay for shiny new youth soccer fields. The San Francisco 49ers, and York, are not following through with their end of the bargain - which could end up costing taxpayers millions, according to a recent report by the San Jose Mercury News.

Stay classy 49ers!

Yeah Alex smith haters must have forgotten how much worse it can get. chiefs are a good team, just not one of the top 3, boohoo.
Not exactly sure what you are getting at. I'm a Chiefs fan, I've got a pretty good handle on how 'worse it can get'. I was going to list examples, but fuck it.

/shrug, seemed like more of a compliment to me.

"You look at those guys' roster, I don't know how these guys don't win the Super Bowl every year," Mathieu told Mike Florio Tuesday on ProFootballTalk Live.
Anyways, Rams @ Cards this week, pretty sure this is a trap game. Everyone is penciling in the Cards for a win but this will be the first legit defense they've had to face, combined with the Rams being master trolls. They can have their troll win just please don't murder Palmer

I'm not sure many would of picked the Ravens, Saints, Lions and Bears to be the 0 - 3 teams at the start of the season.

Right. NO is in actual cap hell as opposed to the virtual one they always place Dallas in. That plus the Rob Ryan curse basically means they're gonna be a dumpster fire for a bit.

Ravens are the only surprise team in there
Ya the talking heads are the only ones who didn't see the saints as a bad team. They were a joke last year in a very weak division and then made no changes to become better. But in ESPNland if you have a couple high profile players they will talk about you like a contender, it's why every time some team over pays some old, spent free agent they cheer it as a great move.

I think the ravens miss the playoffs but harbaugh will get that team to fight hard and they will be a tough out for anyone who plays them. The difference between the ravens and a truly bad team is the ravens have pride and will fight, unfortunately it seems like this season that won't be enough. It's kinda sad that the aw-shucks its just nice to be here colts will probably make the playoffs but a real team like the ravens won't. Though I admit I kinda enjoy the thought that Luck will carry that worthless sack of shit Pagano to the playoffs again and save his job and pretty much guarantee the colts never win a championship.

I'm a little surprised the Lions are 0-3. Honestly they should have beaten San Diego in Week 1 but they imploded. I figured it was a toss up with them and the Vikes in Week 2 as well considering how bad Minnesota looked in Week 1, but they remembered they had Adrian Peterson.

I'm sure a decent number of people picked the Bears to be 0-3.
So are we gonna do this thing, big boy? Has there even been an avatar bet this year? This would be easier if I hated Cinci, but I want them to win this year.

I'd happily wear a Cinci Avatar, and you wouldn't probably mind a Chiefs one, so we've got to come up with something equally distasteful.

This a 1000 times! Rams are always hurting people. I think it's because their defense is always so pissed off at their offense, they have to take it out on somebody. We should just forfeit and keep everyone healthy.
