Taking all the data for the last 12 seasons, not a single team has a positive rushing EPA. Do we need to readjust how we use EPA? Is this causing too many pass happy teams this season? in c/nfl@nfl.community

perhaps EPA is just a flawed metric

boom, nothing else needs to be said. Basic statistics are the only thing that give a general idea of how teams are. Everyone wants to turn the NFL into Money Ball and it just isnt the case. There aren't enough games for sample sizes, football is 90% "any given Sunday" every week

Which unexpected team will go on a late run this year? Which currently good team will unexpectedly collapse? in c/nfl@nfl.community

I’ve got a weird feeling about Lamar.

Its not a weird feeling, its called historical evidence. If we get behind early whatever game we're in its over.

CJ Stroud is 2nd in pass DVOA and 1st in DYAR. An MVP candidate as a rookie in c/nfl@nfl.community

Stroud wont be winning rookie mvp and league mvp in the same season. It's happened once and that in 1957 when Jim Brown won both pre AFL NFL merger.

Revisiting the Lions' Jared Goff, Matthew Stafford trade: How do the QBs compare two years later? in c/nfl@nfl.community

Rams won on their part

Lions are probably going to be in QB purgatory for the next 3-4 years. If they win a playoff game I'd say both parties won.

NFL QB Decline in c/nfl@nfl.community

. This isn't to say that there aren't any great QBs in the league,

We had consistent elite QB play throughout the 2000s and 2010s. These new guys aren't holding a candle to what most of us grew up with.

edge rushers have become menaces, whether thats skill or OL guys being ass is up for debate.

Nick/Joey Bosa (before getting paid)

Myles Garret

Haason Reddick

TJ Watt

Micah Parsons

Maxx Crosby

Brian Burns

Matt Judon

all influence the game almost every play

Also a majority of the good QBs are in the AFC, just so happens all of these players on that list are also in the AFC lol.

[Griffin III] The industry talks about Dak’s ints the way they should talk about Josh Allen’s in c/nfl@nfl.community

Its pretty simple. Farve/Winston/Allen are all gunslingers and you live or die by the sword. Theres genuinely no reason to cry about it.
