Nice work and pretty interesting.

adamc91115 · Jun 7, 2010

Very nice work.

You should include TE's too... That would be interesting to see.

percyhoward · Jun 7, 2010

Thanks guys.

I considered doing one for TE's, but pure pass-catching TE's don't do much for me. Maybe someday I'll do one and add a blocking element somehow.

btw, Dallas Clark had a 120 rating.

Great stuff, percyhoward. Thanks for the research.

It's stuff like this that make this site so informative, and why certain lazy media types scroll through here for story ideas.

Uh oh, we better hope a certain young poster doesn't get his hands on this info.

But in all seriousness, good work here. Stats like these are the reason why I feel no shame in refusing to tap the brakes on Miles. He's a star in my book.

That's an interesting group of four recievers at the top, head and shoulders above the rest of the league. Wouldn't have guessed that.

Thanks for the work!

More separation between 4th and 5th place than between 5th and 16th.

Will he ever be on the field enough to get the 96 targets to qualify, though?

Bob Sacamano · Jun 7, 2010

Sorry, percy. Romo had a healthy hand in '09.

btw, have you ever considered sending that to say FOX or something? I bet the NFL would jump on that.

I'm kinda dumbfounded that somebody else didn't already do this.

I really like this Percy, thanks for posting it. :bow:

Do you have a full listing for all qualified WRs? I'd love to see/get it.

Wimbo · Jun 7, 2010

A WR rating without drops? TO would love this list.

j/k nice work.

Where did you get the INT stat?

I got it all at this cool stat site.

Just ignore their stupid ratings system.

My stupid ratings system is better.
