Meh, I thought he played OK. Wasn't great, wasn't bad, made some big plays in crunch time in a tough environment. I also know this thread will turn into 10 pages by lunchtime so I'll see myself out from here.
Wow Marcus 'give the game away to the Vikings' Mariota was 17th!?!?!?! I can't take this site seriously.
This article is more about their very own DYAR then anything Miami. They just used the Phins game as a token to get their message out about their metric.
It happens. I thought they were going to integrate some EPA/WPA data in their stuff, but they didn't. Overall though it's silly to try to use a metric like DYAR or DVOA at this point in the season.
That article was nearly devoid of content. They start by stating the fact that Miami had the worst passer and rusher of the week. Then it's two paragraphs qualifying that statement, since some other team ended up worse. Finally the meat of the article was about other times in history when that's happened, like anyone gives a crap.
Yeah, this was basically one person's opinion using a formula that's based on season-wide stats...and ignoring how solid Seattle was on D last year. Can you really call it a "formula" when half the formula is ignored? I don't think so...especially when there's an update halfway through saying that the whole article is lie anyway.
That's weird. Cian Fahey posted these about Tannehill's game.

Thanks! It's nice to see something positive after just reading some crap about how no one would trade for Tannehill. The real reason why no one would trade for our starting QB is this thing called psychology. We have no alternative starter, so the act of putting him up for trade signals that we, who are most familiar with him, think he sucks. You trade your back up QB, after he has a good game or three, not your starting QB... Jeez!
Cian Fahey will have is QB grades out Thursday.....Im gonna go out on a limb and predict he will not say that 17 was the second to worst QB this past week. Whats DYAR anyways?
Not really sure. I read the definition and still don't know. http://www.footballoutsiders.com/info/methods#dyar There are a few number crunchers around here. Maybe one of them can explain it in English.
Its a wholly bananas bat**** cuckoo bird grade, that takes other more standard stats like DVOA, then through the magic of Bud Lite induced bro banter, they decide how much better that number is than what they're back up or replacement would do in that their place.
Personally I have no respect for DYAR or the DVOA it's based on so if it were up to me I'd never report it. That link isn't transparent about what DYAR or DVOA is and that was my first reason for objection (it's imperative you explain your methodology.. otherwise the default assumption is you're just making stuff up), but Stringer Bell sent me a PM long time ago with a link that provided greater clarity about what it is: https://codeandfootball.wordpress.c...alized-adjusted-net-success-rate-per-attempt/ Basically, DVOA is substituting success rate (defined by whether EPA = expected points added was positive or not) for yards in AYA. Long story short, AYA has problems of its own. One link I went to showed AYA formula was: AYA = (YDs + 20*TD's - 45*INTs)/ATT The problem is that these values of "20" and "45" are not justified in any way I can accept. In mathematics, a "+" means "or", meaning the value of 1 TD = 20 yards in that formula. The way they get numbers like that is by taking the EPA of say 1st and goal (e.g. 6.8 points), looking at the difference between that and the 6 points in a TD (so now you have 0.8), and dividing it by a linearly extrapolated value of 0.08 points per yard (taken from 6 points for a TD to -2 for a safety = 8 points difference divided by 100 yards), and getting a value like 10. A newer version of their model got 20. Two major problems with that approach are: 1) Using arbitrary anchor points, like 1st and goal. Any analysis that gives you some value of "20" yards = 1 TD or so should work no matter what anchor point one uses and that's not true here. 2) Assuming linear extrapolation (every point between the two anchor points has equal weight) for all 100 yards when the number of attempts and EPA at different points on the field are different. What I mean is that they say 6 points for a TD and -2 for a safety, so that means 8/100 = 0.08 per yard?? No, you have to look at EPA at every point on the field and then weight it by how often that actually occurs. Can't just linearly extrapolate when you have the data for attempts and EPA at different points. So in summary, you can call AYA, DYAR and DVOA a "model", and its utility can be measured by how well it helps you predict whatever you want. But you CANNOT call it a stat because it's not a logical implication from data (at most you can allow some simple assumption about the distribution of the data but no more.. and in this case even that isn't allowed because you HAVE that distribution).
I would of liked to see RT handle the presure of the rush better and he could of made better reads but he is far from the bottom. I saw wome things from him tjat were not there last year. Its only been o.e game but he looks improved yo me and last year i comsindered him a middle of.the pack starter. He still in that area just maybe a few rungs higher Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk
Their system is so bizarre that its beyond understanding. Its mostly built on assumptions on who they think will be good, and who will be bad, and they hate the Dolphins on an annual basis, so we're always ranked at the bottom.
C'mon, Man. Tell us how you REALLY feel about that data analysis... For my own, I will quote a Navy Chief I remember very well. It was about "40 pounds of hammered horse sh!t." The rest of the quote I cannot write on the forum.. It gets rather obscene from this point on.!
