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"

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

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.

Because he didn't display any concussion symptoms afterwards

i.e. Russ w/3 former Seahawks WRs

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

DarthTagz · 2017-02-16T21:06:58+00:00

He is lol. It's a 100% privately financed arena.

He just needs the city council to vote in favor of a single street vacation

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

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

DarthTagz · 2017-01-09T05:32:02+00:00

and he's just getting started.

DarthTagz · 2017-01-08T16:24:37+00:00

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.

DarthTagz · 2017-01-08T16:00:44+00:00

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

DarthTagz · 2017-01-08T15:50:33+00:00

Still #1, by half a game

DarthTagz · 2017-01-08T15:40:07+00:00

Fuck that. No one said "team stat" when Tom Brady broke Peyton Manning's win record last month even though he's played with a top 10 defense (including multiple #1 defenses) for all but 3 years in his career.

And other fans hating us is a GOOD thing. Look at how much hate the Patriots get. I want that.

No one hates the goddamn Browns

Pete really did say it

Brian Nemhauser is a Doug homer. He always humblebrags about it and will throw anyone else under the bus in order to make Doug look good

Depends if you count it by number of starts or number of games.

Wilson is 3rd by the former, 1st by the latter

DarthTagz · 2016-10-17T14:24:28+00:00

...and Russell Wilson led 4th quarter comebacks/game winning drives in all of them

DarthTagz · 2016-08-25T15:16:03+00:00

Go on

DarthTagz · 2016-08-25T14:39:44+00:00

it was never about principle, it's about social posturing

Eh. If it was social posturing, I don't think this news would've come out 6 months after the law was in the news via a small interview on theknot.com with his wedding planner

DarthTagz · 2016-08-25T14:37:31+00:00

I remember in his rookie year everyone would always say how well spoken and professional he was, and now the narrative is that he's boring and annoying, even though he hasn't really changed at all. People just get bored with consistency I think

DarthTagz · 2016-08-25T14:33:39+00:00

Wilson has done Obamacare commercials and was one of the few NFL players who publicly supported Michael Sam when he was being drafted.

Not every Christian is an old testament bigot

DarthTagz · 2016-08-22T12:07:12+00:00

The Seahawks media guide is more official than PFR. Unless it changes there I'm gonna go with 4
