  1. Why would they get rid of Richardson? He is still on his rookie contract, especially if we need a body for Brown's potential absence. Hopefully Ballard can be healthy...that is our only concern with Vick right now.

  2. what? Nonsense

    Its like trying to compare Adrian Peterson and Donald Brown, except in this case the action considered is entertaining people. I can only assume using that analogy that Gandalf thinks Craig Ferguson is much more entertaining than Jimmy Fallon. However entertainment value is very subjective. Further, Jimmy and Craig don't have to compete with each other since there is such a thing as Tivo or the internet to catch highlights or old episodes.

  3. Its not a RB exclusive sentiment, its a mathematical common usage. When creating an average, discounting an extreme outlier gives a better picture of the true mean.

    So in this case, the extreme outlier would be the one big run. If you discount it from the YPC (an average), but mention it happened and you discounted it, it gives the reader a better idea of the standard production, and why the YPC including the one breakout run may be misleading as to the actual standard production per handoff.

    Sure it may be common practice to take out the high and low outliers. It just so happens that you (as in, you all) can't take out any short or negative outliers, because they aren't 'extreme' enough. By doing this, you skew the results against whatever running back is being discussed.

  4. Claiborne said he just answered anything because he felt the test was pointless. That's probably what a lot of players are doing now a days

    Using Claiborne's reasoning, wouldn't players slack off when running the 40, measuring vertical, the shuttle drill, etc? They all don't really correlate well with football skill and how well you will perform.

  5. I don't know about rigged, but I would say that the game was very poorly officiated. They barely had control of the players in the first half. (A Raven player did shove a ref and there was no flag/ejection). Holding no-calls, PI no-calls, for both sides, along with the outage gave me a bad taste in my mouth afterwards.
