Who is the best of the "experts" here at FBG'S? (1 Viewer)

Footballguy
I am a die-hard FBG subscriber. I was thinking, just how sucsessful are these guys in their own fantasy football leagues! 80% of my wcoff draft material comes from this site and its writers. Is there a alpha male of all the football guys experts? You cant just say Joe and Dave....they own the joint :P

:lmao:

 
Staff have their own leagues (FESL) where they compete against each other. I wonder who has the best combined record over the past four years in the FESL? Hmmmmm.

I've done well in the regular seasons, but haven't closed the deal on a title....yet.

You're right. It's nice being the back to back reigning champion in Bravo-1. :confused:
 
I do believe I had weighted Bob Henry's RB numbers the most in Projections Dominator. Anyone want to chime in with there secret mix for PD?

 
Construxboy did a fairly detailed breakdown if you can find the thread that references the results of his contest.

 
You'll not find a lack of self proclaimed Alpha males around these parts. Everyone may think they are the best but I know I am the best.

Your gonna have to wade though a heaping pile of steaming bovine excriment to get to any useful info in this thread.

Thanks for providing the first pile.

Chase Stuart is pretty good at talking to ladies. I keep PMing Joe and Dodds to see why that isn't included in the rankings each year.

 
There were a couple responses in last years' "who will be this year's version of..."

I bumped it a couple days ago w/ a score for each respondant. It is one piece of the puzzle for you Chef. Quite a few of us left comments regarding our selections. Fun to see who was close, and even more fun to see who was WAY off!

BTW, I'm still interested in Holmes if you're willing to deal.

 
IMO, there's no easy way to determine this. There are some ways that the FBG staff can compare each other. As previously mentioned, we do have staff leagues and other staff contests. We also have a grading system as to the accuracy of our player rankings. You can research value plays, player spotlights, and face-offs, and other articles to see who was on track and who was way off base.

No one will be leaps and bounds ahead of others over time in any of these (at least I don't believe so). As an example, IIRC last year I was ranked at or near the top in accuracy among staff RB rankings and was near the top for QBs (at least as I recall given the last results I had seen) but screwed the pooch badly on WR rankings (Moss at #1 did me in).

Again as an example, some of my value plays paid huge dividends last year (Kitna, Gore, CTaylor, Winslow). Does that make me better or more qualified than anyone else? I doubt it.

Remember, the staff pus together information MONTHS ahead of when the season starts. Some articles and feedback get put together in April and May for a season that starts in September. A LOT can chance in the months in the middle.

About the scoring of that - there were some responses that should have gotten a -1 when one of the picks at a certain position moved precisely opposite of the question. (IIRC an example was which RB will regress with and answer caddillac and s-jax. Cadillac is spot on but s-jax became a stud!). If the answer for that question had been sjax only I'd have scored it -1.Not wanting to hang anyone out to dry or muddle up the rankings just thought I'd share my quibble
 
Lots of football knowledge here. I think the strength of this group is that the logic used to come to conclusions is always solid. Even if the results don't pan out the way we want/expect, no one here projects or predicts something out of thin air. Their is usually some reasoning behind it. Of course there are exceptions, but very rarely do I read an opinion that is informed and illogical. Even when I disagree, I saw, "I see where you're coming from, but..."

Agreed. FWIW, I didn't count L.Evans as a point, 'cause in my opinion, he didn't take a big step up, but just a little one. A couple of huge games made his stat line look good, but he was on my bench by the end of the year (and for his couple of huge games). Shut out too often. My scoring was fairly simple, quick and to a point just to bump the thread so more could see last year's results and read the commentary.
 
Clayton Gray, Doug Drinen, David Dodds, they are all good. I really like it when David Shick and Jason Wood are posting in the Shark Pool, I find both of them to have good perspectives. Chris Smith is absolute money when he is around, I like to read him as well.

All that said, the guy that has shot up to the top of my board and I almost feel like I want to start stalking him is Bob Magaw. That man write posts that are absolute money and I can't get enough of them. He also has some very nice perspective on things over in the FFA although I am frequenting that nut house less and less. Magaw doesn't just write a 1 line zinger but takes the time to explain how and where he is drawing his conclusions...and he also presents some good questions for everyone to roll around in their heads.

I can't forget Yudkin either, he always can put a stop to ridiculous overhype.

 
Preseason rankings are tough because they can't take injuries into account. The weekly cheatsheets are a better gauge. But I think only the one guy has input into those.

 
I just look at what Maurile thinks. THe rest of the guys here are basically just posters who are on payroll.

 
Hard to say who the best is, but there are a few I particularly like. Off the the top of my head, Chase, Jason, Jeff, Shick. Yudkin is pretty good too. I don't see many posts from some of the FBGs, so I can't really include them here. Overall, I think they're all pretty good. There's only 3 I don't particularly like.

If I had to pick just one, I'd probably say Chase.

 
Each staffmember brings something to the table. It would be erroneous to say that one is consistently better than the others IMHO.

FBG has an Excellent staff, easily the best around for in depth analysis IMHO.

 
I think a lot of the football guys bring something good to the table, but my favorite has to be Yudkin. I really think he's the FBG who is the furthest ahead of the curve, so to speak. Most of the other FBGs make their living by perfecting strategies that are very old and widely accepted, whereas Yudkin seems to be more consistantly making his living by looking at newer, more innovative strategies or ways of thinking, or dispelling myths about existing strategies. Sometimes they don't work out, but sometimes they do. All of the other FBGs are still a part of the herd mentality- granted, they're leading the herd, but they're still in it- while with Yudkin I sort of feel like he's above the herd. This isn't meant as a criticism of the other FBGs (it's HARD to consistantly lead the herd), it's just a comment on their approaches from a more stylistic standpoint.I'm also a big fan of Chase, since he's so money with the stats. I've chatted with him a lot, and I always admire how he really separates himself from his personal bias when he's talking about something, supporting his points with phenominal statistics and not letting faulty memory or impaired judgement cloud his analysis. Not that his memory is very faulty or his judgement very impaired- the guy knows pretty much everything that's happened in the past decade of the AFC East. It's spooky. Drinen does the same thing (statistical analysis, not follow the AFC East), and like Yudkin is all about dispelling myths and analyzing widely accepted beliefs (check out his blog on PFR.com sometime), and Tremblay is also very open and receptive to statistical arguements. Those 4 are definitely my favorites.Of course, none of this is going to mean much to anyone else. These are my favorite FBGs because they think like I do. I'm a huge fan of forward-thinking strategy that bucks the herd mentality and advanced statistical analysis, so it only makes sense that my favorite FBGs would be the ones leading the way in terms of trendsetting and statistical analysis. If you're more of a fan of "educated gut reactions", then you're going to prefer a Pasquino or an Anderson, instead.

Ummm... aren't *ALL* WRs pretty inconsistant from game to game, with just a few huge games bumping up their stat line? Lee Evans scored 10+ points in 8 of 16 games (50% of the time), which is a ton of consistancy. He only broke the 20-point mark twice (one of those was 20.5 points), so it's not like he used a couple of huge games to pad his ranking. Compare this to, say, Chad Johnson (#4 WR in the league last year and widely-acknowledged "superstud"). Johnson was below 10 points in 10 games last year, and he had two 35+ point games padding his total. What about Donald Driver, that model of consistancy? Driver had 9 games of under 10 points, and also padded his score with two 20+ outings (although, in fairness, neither of those broke 30 points). Lee Evans, in three seasons, has finished 24th, 29th... and then 7th. If that isn't a *MASSIVE* step up, then I don't know what is. Ruling him out because of inconsistency, or because he had too many "bad games", is just ludicrous. Statistically speaking, Lee Evans had just as many "bad games" as all of the other WRs who ranked right around him.Sorry to go off on a tangent, but this whole concept that stud WRs are supposed to be consistant instead of padding their totals with a couple of big games couldn't be further from reality, and it's a bit of a pet peeve of mine.

Based on 1 point per reception numbers, Lee Evans had the second highest standard deviation score of any top 50 WR. That suggests the opposite of your statement. Maybe you didn't mean consistent. Maybe you meant something else.edit: oops, that's not top 50... that's top 100.

A combination of the above. :goodposting:
 
Over the years I have gone from lurker to random poster to partial participant and, now, play in a few leagues with some of these guys. Talking both off and online with some of those mentioned and not mentioned (Bloom and Bramel) I have found that I appreciate the different analytical process each individual uses to evaluate a player. Each is unique.

Once I began to decipher everyone's root cause/value system I knew who and when to seek out at those times I needed information and help. That goes for some of the active FBG regulars too. As was stated, some people are very numbers/metrics driven in their approach. Being an arts/history type, I really like seeing Chase, Drinen and Yudkin get super :shrug: with stats. Bloom, Cecil, Bramel and Jeff P are great with dynasty information. Bob has a real stream of consciousness thing working but, if you ever trade messages with him, it makes sense. It probably would not work for everyone but it works for him.

My feeling would be to look back at dynasty information for the purpose of this exercise.

Sorry SSOG. In order to refrain from upsetting you in the future, I will allow you to go back and recalculate my 'scoring' since you disagree so strongly. As stated, I was only trying to bump the thread and entice some of last year's posters to do it again, so we may get a little more of exactly what this thread is looking for... who is more accurate in their predictions and more accountable.In Evans' case, I was preferring C.J., Bruce and Cotchery as well as A.Green or F.Taylor as a Flex. As a 5th rounder last year, I wasn't feeling it from Evans. If you want to use C.J. as an example, let's exclude the 1st 1/2 of last season when Palmer was throwing like Jake Plummer.

:P Correct.Who's "best?" ALL of them...it just depends upon what particular questions you have or advice you are needing. College players? IDP? Dynasty? Re-draft? SOS? O-Line/D-Line? Depth charts? Latest news? You'll get a different answer from me on each of those topics. ;)

I dont play any ppr, sorry about that.And Lee had a 2 and 1 to start the season and then was money the rest of the way in standard scoring. And his finish was superb.As far as consistency...WR #24 = 7.06 (12 team)WR #32 = 6.00 (16 team)Evans scored three @ 1, 2, 1two @ 4, 5ten @ 7, 8, 9, 9, 10, 10, 10, 13, 13, 18one @ 34Again, after the first two weeks of the season, he was indeed money.

The real answer is. Football is too unpredictable for consistency. It's an 11 man sport and there are way too many factors to get real consistency.

I'd be more than happy to do that, if you also discount all of Evans' games when J.P. Losman was throwing poorly. If you want to selectively eliminate stats for C.J., you've gotta let me do the same for Evans. Deal?

Let's compromise, and you can discount any games that Losman was playing on one leg. Deal.
 
To me, improvements to the fundamental systems are what matters. Predicting performance in a single year is nice, but not significantly value added in the long run.

Examples of system improvements:

Dodds's adding ability to customize staff rankings via include/exclude.

Henderson's DD improvements.

etc.

 
Allow me to share my H2H experiences to show how they do in the real world.

First off, you'll find staffers are usually very competitive in the survivor leagues. Solid drafting technigues with an emphasis on finding value and sleepers that others may not develop on their own.

I have played against the following current staffers (hope I didn't leave anyone out):

Yudkin

Pasquino

Lammey

Shick

ffweasel

Twilight

jeter23

radballs

If there's 1 guy that I hate to go against it's Yudkin. He can find good players from anywhere on the board and in most any round. He makes teams out of nothing it seems. Alot has to do with his willingness to take what the draft gives him. He's not locked into any one strategy. I've learned a lot going against him. And we've each had the good fortune to win.

With that said, I don't want to take anything away from anyone I listed above. They are all very solid players. Besides Yudkin I want to point out Radballs, ffweasel & Twilight. Radballs is one of the best drafters I've gone against. He consistently fields teams that compete and will challenges for wins every week. ffweasel and Twilight are very competitive and force you to be on your game if you want to beat them.

When it comes to analysis, they all bring value to the table. They know their stuff and that's why I like to come here. When you look at this site collectively, you get the best minds in the business. Forward thinking and technology are great but the ability to keep it simple and focus on the fundamentals are absolutely money.

 
what I would like to see on this sight is a season ending VBD app that allows us to plug in our scoring systems and print out a cheat sheet showing where all the players actually ended up....

then we could COMPARE it to the one we do before our drafts in the preseason and see how good the APP here really is....

this would also help us as players see where we made mistakes inour draft....not just a tool to grade FBG's...

Interesting idea.Any concern, though, for accounting for injuries?I think it might be more useful on a Points Per Game (PPG) basis.

I there a group hug smilie somewhere................?

This will do:

:goodposting:

 
Last year, I won the Fantasy Sports Trade Association division III fantasy football league - some of the guys in division III were Ryan Houston, John Georgeopolus, Ted Kasten - so that was an interesting league playing other writers for/owners of FF sites and businesses.

I was in the playoffs in 50% of my private (friends and old business associates) leagues, and missed the playoffs in one other by 3 pts on the final weekend of fantasy regular season (I actually won the head-to-head game and tied for the divisional championship on record, but the guy I beat that day had split with me and he won the division on the total points tie break by 2pt)

However, in Footballguys expert staff league last year I got nuked.

Trying to determine who is "best" at Footballguys.com among the staff is not going to be revealed by our performance in the myriad of leagues we all play in, though - as many have pointed out in the thread, it depends on what thing or things you value most in terms of FF analysis. I am not a professional mathematician like Dr. Drinen or Dave Shick, so I am not as strong at statistical analysis as they are - numbers come to them as naturally as breathing does to me - but I encompass a lot of qualitative information in my perspective.

I write the Monday Injury report for the site each week during regular season, do the weekly injury podcast with Cecil Lammey, and I also co-write the Rushing and Passing matchups each week with Joe Bryant (which, aside from watching as many games as humanly possible on Sundays/MNF, exposes me to the week-to-week statistical production of all the offensive fantasy football skill position players as well as the predominant IDP players, just as a by-product of reading every box score and game summary each week, studying our weekly and "Who's Hot" reports that David Dodds produces after the games, and also studying our weekly game recaps that Joe B. and Cathy Fazio and their excellent staff of recappers produce, among some of the resources I use to write the rushing/passing matchups).

Thus, I tend to write articles like this one (Managing Risk 2006), when I'm not doing faceoffs or spotlights, etc.

I respect all of the members of the Footballguys.com staff, and can say from experience that they are extremely tough to play FF against.

My .02.

There should be some clarification here. I believe that ffweasel and radballs are bloggers. Twilight hosts the Survivor leagues on his site and jeter23 is not directly affiliated with FBG (although he's written stuff for Draftguys).All 4 are solid guys and good posters, but it would be incorrect to label any of them "staff".

There should be some clarification here. I believe that ffweasel and radballs are bloggers.

LOL. You mean the article that we linked to in the Blogger a few hours ago so that your thread would get more visibility/traffic? :lmao: That one ain't on me....as I'm just the "cleaner" around here....checking to make sure that anything from earlier in the day that could/should have been in the News Blogger is in there before I call it a night. Speaking of which..... :hey:LOL.

Each staffmember brings something to the table. It would be erroneous to say that one is consistently better than the others IMHO.

FBG has an Excellent staff, easily the best around for in depth analysis IMHO.

Of course, none of this is going to mean much to anyone else. These are my favorite FBGs because they think like I do.

A combination of the above. :potkettle:

:tinfoilhat: Having a FBG that thinks like me is helpfull. Thanks Chris Smith.

Discussing where I differ with other FBGs is invaluable. Thanks for the insights all (Especially Jeff)
