I also read something interesting...

[T-ROCK]

Flew to NY today, and when I changed planes in Atlanta I picked up the Lindy's 2003 Football Mag...

They graded our draft a B the Patriots a B+, the Jets a B, and the Bills a B...

That alone I found interesting... But upon reading further, the last page of the mag, they rated every NFL team in the following categories:

Head Coach 7.0
QB 7.5
RB 9.5
REC 7.0
OL 7.0
DL 8.5
LB 9.0
SEC 9.0
ST 8.5
Intangibles -1

We scored the highest, a 72.0 which tied us with the Raiders...

While we tied a few teams in the HC category, only the Jaguars scored lower, 6.5 of 10... We scored a 7.0, the Bucs a 9.5, no surprise there... Amazingly, the Chargers scored a perfect 10 in the RB category, while we scored a 9.5...

What criteria did they use to score the different categories

I looked it up in the small print, MD. It says the criteria consisted of a "strong desire to make money selling magazines by putting down just about anything that felt reasonable at the time, knowing that committed fans are dying for just about ANY perspective in this lull before the season starts".

:goof:

Jack Del Rio has never been a HC and has only 1 season's experience as a coordinator. And that's the only reason why he is rated so low......he's completely unknown. And that's really sad, Wanny being just a cut above him. And you know what?? Until he proves otherwise, it's completely appropriate.

Sorry, I left a few names off the HC list...

Spurrier was also a 6.5...

As was Redskins, Bears, and Panthers coaches...

Panthers? They improved a lot last year under Fox. They at least have a better head coach than we do.

What was the -1 in Intangibles for?

 

[3P]

Bad luck with injuries? :D

 

[DrAstroZoom]

I would guess either that or the team's mindset when the calendar turns to December.

 

[Muck]

I think it speaks for itself.

 

[bryan allen]
