Firehawk's Newman Challenge

[superpunk]

I'm going to be temporarily unavailable, so don't expect me to respond to anything.

I gotta go, too.

If your legs start to go numb, just kind of shift your weight. Bring a book, light a match....it's all good.



(seriously...why is this guy informing us that he will be absent?)

:laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2: Please! Don't go away temporarily...please make yourself available.

Hello? Are you there? Are you available yet?

 

[tomson75]

I just went. Now I'm back.

...and the fun is over.

BTW, thanks to Danny White for finding me this sweet new avatar...reminds me of a couple of my tatoos. Mostly my space platypuses.

Thanks to all Cowboys' fans for defending Newman. You just can't sit back and let Commanders' fans disort the truth about one of your very best players on your web-site.

I got an email from a lady at a company that was trying to sell us something. During the middle of the email it said. "I will write you later with the quote. Nevermind, I have it right here."

Thanks for telling me the drivel that goes on in your mind while you write emails. It was important that I know you didn't have it then did have it just seconds later.

Seems you have only been around for a few...but, they constantely do this kind of stuff. RedStink fans are so jealous of the Dallas Cowboys that they cannot control themselves...it's a burden that they have to carry for the rest of their lives...

Firehawk or redskinhawk

You posted that Champ Bailey was "getting torched for touchdowns" by Amonte Toomer and Rocket Ishmail. I just assumed, by this statement, that you didn't like his play, and you thought he was expendable. It sure sounded like it.

You have appeared to flip-flop again.




Shame on you.

That avatar is moooooooooooney, t75.

That is like the letter that a mom sent to her son in college. She told him about all the stuff that was happening while he was away, and at the end of the letter she said, "I would have sent you some money but I already sealed the envelope"..

:laugh2:

Isn't though!

...and consider yourself lucky. Sadly, my wireless can't penetrate my bathroom walls.

Yes. 5Stars, I am new to the board. I really don't like wasting my time with deadskin fans, but Newman is my favorite player. I had the time, so I jumped in.

 

[Hostile]

Oh, I don't know. Being adopted by Da Fan is probably as cool as it gets. That guy seems great.

Yeah, I've known Roger for a while. I've known a fellow attorney for most of my life who lives next to Roger. So I've been able to meet him at barbeques/driveway hoops/etc on a dozen or so occasions. If I ran into him on the street, he might recognize my face from somewhere and say hello, but I doubt he would remember from where or what my name is. I've also shot hoops at my gym, the Premiere Club here in Dallas, with Romo. He's exactly as you would expect.

But that pales in comparison to being adopted by Da Fan.

Post of the day just for that line in bold.

You are also a good fan from everything I have read from you!

 

[tomson75]

You two should have a threesome with bbgun...IMHO.

Thanks. Yes. I love the Cowboys, and I'll die that way.

Jessica Alba is hot.

I want bbgun for myself! I crave him...with fava beans and red wine!

Unneeded sacks - Times when the protection was considered good enough and there was a significantly open player or space to run to avoid a sack but the QB's indecision or the decision to run in the "wrong direction" caused a sack that isn't the fault of the blockers nor did somebody come unblocked. Call this the Bledsoe stat.

Bad decisions - When deciding who to throw to (or not to throw to) or running the ball results in a negative play (negative yardage or INT/Fumble), or the extreme probability for one exists (the ball is tipped in the air for example).

Avoiding sacks/tackles - The movement behind the LOS that allows a QB more time to throw the ball when a sack appears imminent, or when running, causing unblocked tacklers to miss or whiff.

Unforced errors - Fumbling the ball untouched or due to improperly securing the ball (holding it away from their bodies), prematurely throwing away the football (no defender unblocked within 10 yards and no blocked defender within reach), or poor passes that led to incompletions/INTs or the extreme probability for one exists (the defender drops the INT).

Deep passes - Passes that are caught 30+ yards from the LOS.

Medium passes - Passes that are caught 10-30 yards from the LOS.

Short passes - Passes in the "flats".

Receiver aided positive plays - The amount of yards / passes caught / INTs avoided due to an excellent play by the receiver that hid the bad play of the QB. For example, a 5 yard slant TO takes 40 yards to the house after making 3 defenders miss isn't the same as Campbell hitting a running Santana from 40 yards away in the endzone. This also accounts for excellent one-handed catches that receivers are not normally expected to make or when the receiver has to knock the ball out of the defenders hands to avoid an INT.

Receiver aided negative plays - Errors attributed to the QB statistically that were not due to his bad play. For example, if the ball hits the receiver's hand and pops up and is then INT, it's probably not the QB's fault. Also, all dropped balls goes here.

Forced Errors - When under heavy pressure, the QB makes a bad decision as defined above.

Throwaways - Self-explanatory

This is probably the hardest position to analyze, so bear with me while I refine my criteria.

Jessica Alba is hot.

It seems as though your knowledge is boundless...

 

[superpunk]

you're pretty damn productive on the toilet, firehawk. I was reading "Naked Pictures of Famous People" (by Jon Stewart), and here you were refining QB criteria.

Well done.
