Chalk Talk / Re: Giants vs NFC East

Quote from: kingm56 on September 04, 2023, 07:38:08 AMI went back to find my efforts last year; unfortunately, it appears Rich was forced to delete our history to ensure the site remains responsive.  Last year, I had the Eagles #1, Cowboys #2, Giants #3 and Commanders #4, which is where each team landed.  Last year, the gap between the Cowboys and Giants was more than .5 point, which is statistically significant.  This year, I have the Cowboys and Giants withing .1, which is within the statistical margin; in short, they're in a virtual tie.  Although, Phili clearly has the most talent, the Giants could overtake the Cowboys as the NFC East #2.   
If we move it to the Chalk Board, that won't happen again.

@kingm56 what would your scores have been for the Giants at the same time last year and how would the scores compared?

How would they look if you include the rotational and backup players for the Giants.

Only if you have the time.

That would coincide with my thread analysis of the two season's rosters. Except my comparison was last year's end of season in some cases. Like Jones vs Jones.

Off the top of my head, LY's QB would have been fair to poor. The perception of the Receivers was pretty high going into last season with Golladay, Toney, Robinson and Shepard. TE would have been much lower as would ILB and CB.

This project can't be properly completed by including factors such as luck and potential. It does however include what would be intangibles such as QB elusiveness, schemed time to throw based on routes and Quarterback style such as pocket QB vs highly mobile and passing on the run ability. It includes designed Runs by QB and Runs because of coverage or failure to get a timely pass off. Those items also have an effect in the evaluation of Receivers and the Offensive Line. Let's say for example that Hurts didn't run for as much yardage as he did, and instead completed more passes at a rate of 70%, or in doing so was sacked more and absorbed more pressure those would affect stats.

I removed the playoffs because in survival it would be too difficult.

Hurts looked so bad his rookie season that I never imagined he would get to where he is today. DJ was clearly looking like the better QB back then.

You put a lot of effort and research into this project and the end result in the rankings is pretty much what it is.

Looks like there's room for some of the Giants players to move up and if you do this next year, I'm hoping to see some nice grades for Hyatt, Hawkins and even Simmons. I think you went low on Slay but I can't argue the results. I'd like to see JMS and Neal move up to the top. Same with Thibs.

I'm optimistic but realistic that Jones will move up and at least pass Prescott. Hurts is clearly the best in the division.

Thanks for the outstanding body of work! Remind me to move this over to the Chalk Board at some point for future reference.

"Drink water from the spring where horses drink. The horse will never drink bad water. Lay your bed where the cat sleeps. Eat the fruit that has been touched by a worm. Boldly pick the mushroom on which the insects sit. Plant the tree where the mole digs. Build your house where the snake sits to warm itself. Dig your fountain where the birds hide from the heat. Go to sleep and wake up at the same time with the birds – you will reap all of the days' golden grains. Eat more green – you will have strong legs and a resistant heart, like the beings of the forest. Swim often and you will feel on earth like the fish in the water. Look at the sky as often as possible and your thoughts will become light and clear. Be quiet a lot, speak little – and silence will come in your heart, and your spirit will be calm and full of peace."
