Powerball odds. (I.e. he would need to go for 2,000 yards to even have a shot.)
Agree that 400:1 does not seem like good value. But what does that parenthetical even mean? What player would not have a shot at OPOY with, say 1,800 yards?
He would have a
shot to win if he hits 1,800 yarde, sure. But for Jameson Williams to have a legitimate shot, I think he would need to significantly outperform not only all quarterbacks and running backs, but also any already established star wideouts with similar stats. So yeah, to have a legit shot I think he’d need 2,000 yards.
But lets be real, Jameson isn’t sniffing 1,800 yards. It’s great odds, but a wasted money bet. In the unlikely event he finishes with 1,800, I guess I would rather have money on Goff to win it at much worse odds.
