Congratulations David. It is a well-deserved honor. From Mr. Football to Footballguys you have always brought intelligence, innovation and a fan first mentality to your sites (loved your little humor toys). As for those of you asking about Joe - he WILL get in. As a member of the Hall, I am...

I have the introduction and acceptance speeches from all the inductees. Maybe if you hear about some of those guys credentials you will be more accepting. I personally felt I was the only one that didn't belong. You can hear a description of how the inductees were selected as well as the...

Thanks to those that remember me. A couple things - back in 2000-2001 I was tasked to compare page views for hard sports vs. fantasy sports. I can say that back then, if football had 100 unique views, baseball had about 50 and basketball had about 25. Hockey and NASCAR were around 15 but...

Frankly I wouldn't have thought I would have NEEDED to explain it. But when people look at his current QB ranking and use that as an excuse to bench him it needed to be pointed out that the one bad half of football dropped his ranking from 117 to 48 (or thereabouts). People get so fired up...

This I agree with.

Warner was the starter at the end of last season because Leinart broke his collarbone and was out (don't remember if he was put on IR or not). I was going to a Cardinals blog earlier this year and the feeling there was pretty solidly behind Leinart. Now that was before the preseason but I...

I am not convinced that Warner is even the best short term answer. He puts the ball in the hands of the other team an awful lot. Clearly he was better than Leinart last year. Clearly he was better last week. But it wasn't so clear in the first two preseason games. According to SportsXchange...

http://home.new.rr.com/rosslahaye/ Prior to this week's game, Matt Leinart had a QBR of 117.76.

Gopher - take out this last debacle and Leinart's passer rating was in the 90's. 3-12 with 24 yards and three picks will tend to bring down your rating when you have limited stats prior to the game. Also, lets not forget that Warner fumbled in his limited time - something that has to worry...

First of all Chris Mortensen is not the greatest of sources - he used to be, but lately his insights have left much to be desired. Might be because Jimmy Johnson is no longer a coach. Until Whisenhut says it, I have my doubts. Before this game, Lienart was actually having a very good...

I have seen a lot of people projecting 40+ TDs for Tom Brady this season. I don't see it. http://www.ffreport.com/?p=49 In the history of the NFL 40 TDs has been achieved a total of five times. Dan Marino is the only QB to have done it twice. Prior to last season, Brady's best year was 28...

As one of the two people who started FanEx (the other being FootballGuys own Joe Bryant), I have to say I am puzzled by Jim's drafting and trading this year as well. But he has always been a positive to the group. And I won't belittle his draft until we see how it all plays out. The FAD is...

The question is how to account for receptions. Different offenses use backs in different ways. Different backs have different talents and are used in different ways in the passing game. If a back is matched up against a LB on most passing plays, it is different than if a DB covers him. I...

Actually if any exemplary population will show similar behavior I would have to say that is VERY predictive.

It's not unethical to use the whole clock. It is annoying and will result in hard feelings. But there is nothing wrong with using the clock - NFL teams do it all the time. This is one reason I love auctions - you never have these issues in an auction. People get their bids in on time or lose...
