This was more the part I was referring to. Perhaps I misread it but it looks like he saying that just based on teams going up in down in fumbling, the results we see now would not be expected. In that case, he's relying on the idea that how one QB fairs over 1 year or 2 years is relatively...

That's just the thing though. There ONLY outperforming teams if you: A) Remove dome teams, which is suspect at best. Here are the numbers I have from 2001. Domed/Retractable: 111 seasons worth of games, 2,507 fumbles, average 22.59, SD 6.63 Outdoor: 336 seasons worth of games, 7,397...

Point it out.

And some QBs fumble more than others. Jay Cutler fumbles twice as often as Peyton Manning. So the entire comparison is based on the assumption that every team's likelihood of fumbling on any given play is exactly the same, and therefore, fumbles are nothing but entirely random occurrences...

I compared fumbles between dome and non-dome, and 1 fumble separates the two in terms of fumbles/season. 22.59 to 23.62 or something close. Largely thanks to the colts who had a great 6-7 year run with Manning, and partially thanks to Atlanta. Ryan has a ridiculously low fumble rate. Atlanta...

The sharp article is bullshit. It assumes that fumbles are a product of random chance, which is fucking stupid, and it omits dome teams when the difference isn't significant, much less even mentioned.

bit much. If a repeat offender kicks the use of illegal substances, seems like you're doing more harm than good by banning them for the legal stuff.

I hope not. Stay out and build the roster. This teams been chasing the magical season for like 8 years, and the one season they decide to reel it in a bit they actually improve. Selling out and spending big is no guarantee for anything.

Heard he quit after Mondays show. Anyone else hear this? Probably bullshit.

There wouldn't even be a pinch. They can open FA with over $20M just by cutting Carr and Melton.

Starting to get all worked up in a frothy lather over here.

The officials handle the balls after every snap, some times multiple officials at a time. How did the same guys who check it not notice a difference at all? How fucking stupid to have teams supply their own balls anyway. What is this, little league? The league should supply them and check...

Probably has something to do with McFadden bring hurt all the fucking time.

Jerry says it will be tough to keep Murray and Dez. Yeah. Wonder why?

RBs may have a short shelf life and are relatively replaceable but without Murray's performance Dallas is an entirely different team. Almost half the league has $6M or more allocated to RBs. Some use primary back and some use split carry systems. I think a number of teams will pay more than...

Just gave Seattle the kiss of death.

That would give Jim 200+ days a year to make Red's offense look bad instead of the 2 days he currently has. Don't think Jason will like that.

It's not a "step" if you're falling. Whether or not the rule sucks is one thing. There's no need to change the definition of a step to include a toe touch when the guy is 6 inches from belly flopping onto the ground.

They said he was falling so that precludes any ability to make a football move. the rule just has no standard measuring stick. It's basically a big question of what one ump verses another happened to see.
