The Hall of Fame Index, Part One
Published 23 hours ago by Doug Farrar at Football Outsiders
... about those teams that may have legitimate issues with the HoF voters. Divide HoFers by Accomplishments, multiply by 100 to make the numbers pretty, and you have a HoFer Index. The higher the ratio, the kinder voters have been to your franchise. Quick, easy, and ready for discussion. To aid in the discourse, we’ve linked every player’s name to their page at the Hall of Fame site (for HoFers) or their page at pro-football-reference.com (for hopefuls).

Dan Marino: Still the greatest QB of all-time

In a nutshell, the statistician created a formula that takes into account "adjusted yards per attempt" and then takes that figure and then takes into account the league average "AY/A" as well as pass attempts. There are also other factors involved here, so heading over to this article will explain how the math is done. ...

The Vikings Are A Picture of. . .Consistency?
Published 6/25/2008 by Gonzo at Daily Norseman: Front Page Posts
... And the more I think about it, the more I realize that the folks at Mile High Report are absolutely correct. The Vikings HAVE been a very consistent team over the course of the last four decades. Unfortunately, that fact gets lost because the team has never won the Super Bowl. Whether that's the way it should be or not is a subject that's up for some debate. But let's illustrate this a little further by looking a little more closely, taking the records from Pro-Football-Reference.com. ...

Surprising facts about the Oakland Raiders

As you may have noticed, I've been playing around on Pro Football Reference lately, mainly checking out quarterbacks, but I also took a look at where the Vikings' current roster ranks among the Vikings' leaders all time. Surprisingly (since it seems most of the players haven't been in Purple that long), they are quite a few near the top of the charts. ...
Pacifist Viking - What Should The Vikings Expect From Bernard Berrian?

... Taylor (in a December game last season, the Bears came out with a nine man front, showing absolutely no fear of the Vikings’ passing game). Those are possibilities. And there’s also the possibility that fear of the Vikings’ running game still means an eight-man front, and Berrian has some space to work with, and Jackson will have a reliable playmaker to connect with on some deep passes. That’s the hope, anyway. (all statistical data gathered from http://www.pro-football-reference.com)

... didn't make the massive game-changing plays we've seen from them in years past. Seymour was mediocre in the games he played, which was a big part of this. The likelihood of a suceptible defensive secondary is very high in 2008. But holes like that can be hidden with a powerful pass rush driven by the defensive line. The Patriots must figure out someway to get more pressure from the line in order to be succesful in 2008. Sources: Pro-Football-Reference.com ...
Who Had Brett Favre's Back All Those Years? (Or, How Close Were The Packers To Mediocrity Between 1992 and 2007?)
Published 3/6/2008 by One More Dying Quail at One More Dying Quail
On Hashmarks this morning, Matt Mosley linked to an excellent Rumors and Rants post that compared Brett Favre to every Chicago Bears quarterback of the last 17 years. I was already working on a list of quarterbacks who immediately followed Hall of Famers (Quincy Carter came after Troy Aikman in Dallas, for example), so one of Matt's thoughts struck a chord with me: listing all the quarterbacks who backed up Favre during his time in Green Bay. Help me, Pro Football Reference, you're my only hope. (In all likelihood, someone in ESPN's research ...

Big Ben was as good as it gets in 2007. If it weren't for the ungodly season Tom Brady had this year, Roethlisberger would be right up there as an MVP candidate.

I've attached a petition at the end of this post, but first I want to go through my own reasons for supporting Brodie's bid, beyond just because he's a 49er.
