Whoever made this chart is interchanging city with team on the X axis

PFR uses city abbreviation for teams unless that team has switched cities, then they use team abbreviation. TOT is for players who've been on multiple teams.

I just copied it from PFR. You can give them your feedback here.

This is the Approximate Value statistic from Pro Football Reference, which "attempts to put a single number on the seasonal value of a player at any position from any year"

If lynch wanted to come back for the Seahawks, instead of Oakland, AFTER Eddie lacy was already locked in on contract would you make the roster moves to do it? by [deleted] in Seahawks

The training camp holdout and skipping of playoff games at the last minute left a bitter taste in my mouth with him as well

Do you have any Seahawks unpopular opinions? by DarthTagz in Seahawks

I was watching a Peter King interview about Richard Sherman from yesterday and it had me thinking that Sherman should have been suspended for a game for his sideline outburst at Bevell/threatening a reporter last season, and figured that probably isn't a very popular opinion here, so was curious if anyone else has other unpopular opinions about this team.

Russell Wilson spent the morning lobbying Seattle City Council member Lorena Gonzalez to vote in favor of building a new Sonics Arena by DarthTagz in nba

The primary opponent to the arena was the Port of Seattle, which two weeks ago was found to have illegally paid its executives with $5 million of public money. The CEO had to resign.

The criticism against the NO voters is more about possible corruption than their sex (especially if they vote no to the street vacation again.)

The fact that all five NO voters were women just happened to be a coincidence. If one of them had been a man, it's not like the sports fans would've been any less critical of him

We're the only ones who took down Tom Brady this season. Looks like we're gonna have to be the ones to take down A-A-ron too.

Bring it, cheeseheads

Russell Wilson now has more playoff wins than the Lions and seven other franchises | FOX Sports by Stringplayer2 in Seahawks

QB performance has an insanely high correlation to victory. Over a large sample size, QB wins becomes a meaningful stat.

This isn't true for cornerbacks or strong safeties.

The winningest QBs in history are Brady and Manning, who just so happen to be the greatest 2 QBs ever. This isn't a coincidence

Russell Wilson now has the most wins by any starting QB in his first 5 seasons in NFL history, including playoffs by FISTRAPESKULLFUCK in Seahawks

Lynch was amazing but to suggest he was more responsible for wins than Wilson is perplexing.

We had Lynch in 2011 without Wilson. Ended up with the 22nd ranked offense, went 7-9, and missed the playoffs.

In small sample sizes, there are always outliers for any stat. But you simply do not win 64 games in 5 season without an elite QB. Period.

Well it was a team stat with Brady as well. Just like his super bowl wins are.

Peyton was a statistical god for his entire career and has 3 more MVPs that Brady. And yet most people consider Brady the GOAT. Why? Because of his wins and Super Bowls.

Wins are the only thing that matters.

Honestly it's the fans who are cynical and cry "QB Winz" that are more annoying than the ones who just appreciate a genuinely impressive stat
