How many wins a Falcons team would win with everything the same if Mike Vick was the QB vs. if Matt Schaub was.

[/ QUOTE ]

how can anyone make an accurate assessment of matt schaub's worth with this sample size? has everyone forgotten this guy and his 1991 debut?

Thank you for your very helpful constructive criticism. In the fure I will take your thoughts into consideration.

Edit: I guess this is what happens when you take the middle of the road.

[/ QUOTE ]well if you want some criticism, it seems rushed, the points aren't all that well supported. Note: I am not saying your results are wrong or incorrect, just that I don't think you did a good job of supporting your findings. How many words was your piece? Because I could easily see it being twice as long for a real assesment.

I think if you're going to say this "Conclusion: 50% Colletti, 30% DePodesta, 20% Dan Evans." you should measure the VORP or (I know you don't like this, but maybe something similar) WORP of each of the GM's guys

edit: I'm not sure you took the middle road, as you took the 30,000 Foot Level road. you could and usually do get a lot more specific.

What?

Let's see the points I made:

14 of the Players on the 25-man roster were brought in by Colletti.

5 players in the current lineup, including the two most valuable, were brought in by Colletti.

Colletti brought in their best reliever, but a bunch of his other moves haven't panned out.

2 starting position players were brought in by DePodesta, as well as the top 2 pitchers.

1 starting position player, starting pitcher, and reliever was drafted by Dan Evans. A couple bench players were also drafted, Evans signed their righty-platoon 1B, and a bunch of rookies have filled in well while players were out with injury.

I also provided the statistics of every player who either picked up 50 AB or 20 IP this year.

What else am I supposed to examine here?

[/ QUOTE ] when you do a piece such as this, you damn well better take the middle road.

Okay, just did it with VORP. The results? 52% Colletti, 31% DePodesta, 17% Dan Evans.
