They wasted Luanne on Lucky!

She could of have been so much more but the writers just didn't care!

What's hilarious is the "community" aspect all these NFT developers use to keep the grift alive. All the most successful NFTs bill themselves as online clubs in order to keep all the members drinking the koolaid and encouraging more people to buy resales of a loving jpeg.

Dan Olson's got a fun thread going over a bunch of them as he just accepted every spam discord invite he got for NFT's

What about his hands

8 1/4. safe to say he's doomed.

in truth poor guy can't even hold a football, it just slips right out every time and becomes this really sad slapstick routine where he desperately tries to get the ball to stay in his hand but it just won't and keeps slipping out in more and more bizarre ways. he starts sweating and cursing and turning red but no matter what it doesn't work. it's hard to watch tbh

pff is so high on their own farts I don't even know what the gently caress is going on over there these days.

you can either trust the evidence of your eyes and what the player actually accomplished in the game, or you can trust pff for no reason

that's not even what pff is, really. it's a totally subjective 'formula' where idiots who apparently know nothing about football enter whatever number comes to mind on a scale for each aspect of a play. 'advanced stats' at least has the benefit of being actual statistics

And it made one-eighth the difference.

PFF probably just looked at the Jets QB stats and forgot it's no longer Darnold.

That actually makes more sense than any other theory lol. Except Mike White threw two picks so you'd think he'd be below Stafford as well who had a clean 3 TD 0 INT day.

Anyways puzzling over it is pointless. That's probably what they want us to do. Better to just write it off as dumb poop for people with poop in their brains

I'm reminded of a podcast I listened to with the guy who helped make QBR and he basically said they just kept trying formulas until they found one that aligned with his priors. Like "we had one that seemed promising, but Charlie Batch had the best game ever, and that can't be right, so we just tweaked it until it felt right." And no one on the podcast seemed to understand the problem with treating this formulas results as "fact."

At least add in a "didn't throw a touchdown" negative modifier because that's what I think most people get mad about w/r/t qb pff ratings

look i have no coaching experience and i know nothing about the playcalls or about what players roles are on any play or about what idiosyncratic thing theyre being coached to do in a sport that cherises secrecy and deception in playcalling, but i watched every throw sam darnold made with my face against the screen and i pressed every button on my calculator and thats what came out so i guess we all owe darnold and the jets an apology

I mean Mac Jones had probably his worst game and Kirk Cousins was monstrously ineffective in that game, but I guess everyone below them threw ints to go along with their touchdowns so they were worse? Seems dumb.
