I didn't know there would be a quiz.  :doh:

I guess one conclusion is that the Giants are not quite as young as I have heard some pundits suggest.  When you compare the Giant's ages to the averages, they seem around average age.  I think snap weighting is better than just roster averages.

Rich: Good one! The additions to the OL plus the injury to Andrew Thomas skewed the numbers, IMO. Speaking more generally, each year we have a decent amount of money to spend means more veteran free agents, which in turn means higher average overall age (and, very likely, higher average starter age).

DL and the overall team would be even younger but Nunez Roches weighs down the line.

What I gather from the chart is the RB position is a young man's game.

QB and ST can be long in the tooth and still be productive.

Overall football is for the most part a young man's game.
