RealFantasy Pigskin - Progress Report

[RhaegarTharen]

I like the notion of looking at the teams by division - PFF grades are helpful for determining how to compare players against others at the same position, but shouldn't really be relied on to build a holistic ranking of a team. For example - I buy into the idea that JJ Watt was worth twice as much as the next best 3-4 DE, and Richard Sherman was twice as good as Jonathan Joseph. I don't necessarily think that it "proves" Watt was ten times more valuable than Sherman.

The Divisional format gives us enough structure to evaluate each team without it being too chaotic or overwhelming. We can identify the terrible teams and the really good ones and go from there.



Than again - I'm also totally ok with simply reversing the previous draft order and leaving it at that.     :-D

 

[SMU_Sox]

I do have respect for the exercise but a 10 times multiplier seems excessive.

Maybe you do but I don't understand how someone can seriously suggest "2 or 3 maybe" without being very biased.

If you were starting a franchise today and you could either have Russell Wilson or a package or Alfred Morris, lardarius Webb, and Ben Grubbs which would you pick. For me it's easily Wilson.

 

[ElcaballitoMVP]

Just for reference, here are the ElCab Dolphins PFF ratings by position:

QB: -10.8 (not going to count Barkley who only played in 3 games and is a -12.1. I'd be at -22.9 if I did)
HB:   -5.4
TE:    -6.0 (doesn't include Dwayne Allen who was injured all year)
WR:    5.9
OL:   83.4 (26.5, 22.8, 13.8, 13.2, 7.1), this seems like a position that needs to be weight adjusted
Total Offense: 66.1
 
DL:   50.2 (25.9, 11.3, 15.1, -1.2, -0.9), another one that seems to need some adjustment
LB:     5.2 
CB:    3.7
S:       -2.9
Total Defense: 56.2
 
K: n/a, injured in preseason
P: 32.4 obviously needs to be adjusted.
 
Team Total: 154.7 

 

 

[Kenny F'ing Powers]

I don't like the "QB by 10x" multiplier, but only because of how crass it is as a method. I do think it should be weighted, though.
 
In order to solve the "JJ Watt is a 1 million and Sherman is a 12" issue, why don't we rank the players based on their position, lowest total score has the best total team (we can apply multipliers later).
 
For example:
 
There were 45 3-4 DT's that played at least 25% of snaps. JJ Watt was considered the best 3-4 DT in football. He gets a score of "1". Kendall Reyes is the worst 3-4 DT in football, so he get's a score of 45.
 
By ranking players this way, it negates the "How the hell is Watt 10x more important than Sherman?" issue by ranking against peers. We can consider positional multipliers after we do this.
 
Thoughts?

 

[Phragle]

You don't think QB is by far the most important position?

 

[Kenny F'ing Powers]

You don't think QB is by far the most important position?

 
I never said that.
 
In fact, i said that it should be weighted.
 
I'd just like to get closer to an actual weighted number than simply rounding up to 10 and calling it a day.
 
Did you have thoughts on the other (main) idea in my post?

 

[Kenny F'ing Powers]

If we use my method and decide to rank players against peers with lowest score winning (like golf), then it's easy enough to weight my position as well.
 
If we decide that QB should be weighted as 10x more important, then we simply add the rank 10x into the equation.
 
Example:
 
Peyton Manning was ranked #1 overall of 42 QB's. He gets a score of 1.
 
Because we're weighting it as 10x more important, we multiply the QB position by 10.
 
Peyton Manning's weighted score is 10.
 
Ryan Fitzpatrick was ranked 21st of all QB's. He gets a score of 21.
 
Because we're weighting it as 10x more important, we multiply the QB position by 10.
 
Ryan Fitzpatrick's weighted score is 210.
 
The lower the score, the better the player. In this case, Manning was 200 points better than Fitzpatrick.
 
We can weight based on position, with "1" being least important positions (kicker, punter, etc), while more important positions (left tackle, corner, whatever we decide) gets weighted higher. All the way up to QB.
 
Could be a fun exercise to see how people value the importance of positions.

I don't see how it's any better or worse than adding up the ratings.

I don't think any form of ratings should decide anything. It may help decide, but I'd like to think we can compare two depth charts and decide who is more likely to win.

 

[Super Nomario]

I think everyone agrees that PFF ratings / rankings are not ideal indicators of quality, so why are we talking about how to aggregate them into one final number?

 

[Kenny F'ing Powers]

So, PFF rankings are stupid, but a Madden sim was the way to go?
 
Yikes.
 
There is no perfect method, but having people look at a team and pick their favorite seems like the worst of all options.

 

[DaughtersofDougMirabelli]

There is no perfect method, but having people look at a team and pick their favorite seems like the worst of all options.

 
Why?

 

[Eck'sSneakyCheese]

A Madden sim would have been fun just to see how that panned out, I think it might have showed how our teams gelled together, that's about it. I don't remember anyone saying that it was the way to go and I doubt anyone would've taken that seriously. Just like the PFF rankings shouldn't be taken seriously.

 

[Kenny F'ing Powers]

 
Why?

 
Because, despite how smart we all like to pretend to be, there's a strong possibility that we won't know dick about half the people on the roster. It becomes a "I know that name" game.

 

[Phragle]

Seems like we're never going to agree on anything.
 
The only thing that makes no sense to me is giving up on deciding who was the best and just reversing the order. That is the equivalent of a wasted season to me.
 
Why don't we take the teams that were disasters and put them in the losers bracket, then take the rest of the teams and vote on which ones make the playoffs, then vote on each playoff game.
 
Draft order would be:
1. Disasters
2. Non-playoff teams
3. Wildcard round losers
4. Divisional round losers
5. Conference losers
6. Championship runner-up
7. Champion

 

[Kenny F'ing Powers]

I'm in the minority, so...
 
I'm open to whatever.

The divisions voting with each team, broken down by any way you please, would help this. I don't think anyone would just post the rosters and vote. We would throw PFF numbers in there, Madden numbers, real stats, 5 paragraph essays of your scheme and why you'd be successful, whatever you want. Hell maybe we'd even learn something from it. I know not every team would be up for putting in the work for this (which I think is the only negative), but it's a long offseason and spending a couple weeks arguing over each team and voting would be a pretty fun exercise. 
 
I think this takes the best of all worlds, opens up the discussion, picks a 'winner', and ends in us having a draft order. 
 
Honestly though I might be in the minority. I'm still open to whatever the group decides.

I'm into this suggestion just in terms of shit to do to make a long offseason go by. But how does it really produce a draft order?

 

[RhaegarTharen]

I'm into this suggestion just in terms of shit to do to make a long offseason go by. But how does it really produce a draft order?

 
I think the idea is that, as we analyze each Division, we could seperate teams into at least 3 buckets:   Playoff teams, Total Busts, and Everyone Else.   The Busts from each Division could then be compared and we find someway to determine a draft order amongst them for the first picks. (Whether we vote, totally randomize, or somewhere in between like weighted randomization need not be necessarily agreed upon immediately).   The Playoff Teams do the same on the other end, to see who "won" an figure out the last teams in the draft order.  And then we're only really left with trying to order Everyone Else. 
 
 
Again - I'm totally OK with just taking the "easy" way out and reversing draft order, but I'd love to see some of the more informed posters here go through this exercise team by team.  Learning more about football was part of the point of this whole thing, right?  I mean - beyond standard dick-measuring.

Ahhh, gotcha.

I think rank-ordering all the teams within these categories is kind of arbitrary but dividing them into categories and then randomizing within each group seems feasible.

Edit: Thinking about this further...just doing eight division winners in the top group, worst team in each division in the bottom group, and then everybody else in the middle seems like the most practical approach. The only caveat is that I still think we might end up some teams who picked very high in the draft picking very high again and some teams who picked low in the draft picking low again. Whether thats a problem or not, I don't know.

 

[DaughtersofDougMirabelli]

Yeah that's pretty much exactly what I was going for. I didn't mean it would give us a perfect order, but at the worst it would get us much closer. 

 

[RhaegarTharen]

I like that approach as well, and as the guy with the most to lose by any approach other than a straight reverse-order, I think that while not perfect it's probably as good as we can reasonably expect. 

 

[mascho]

I like this idea.  Open up a thread for each division and keep it open for some amount of time (four days, a week, whatever).  People can make initial nominations in two categories:  Division Winner and Division Loser/Last Place/Bust (I'd even be open to a third category for Wild Card/Playoff Teams, but that might complicate this).  People can argue their "cases" whatever way they want, and at the end of the week put up a poll or just vote in the thread in each category.  Then move on to the next division.  
 
People are free to use any metric to advance their argument (PFF, roster composition on its face, weakness of other teams, number of Rutgers alums, etc) they want to.  

 

[Eck'sSneakyCheese]

I think that's a great idea; we could probably use the top vote getters from each division as Wild Card teams.

Love this idea.  (Just like I did when I suggested it 9 months ago today.)    
 

I think a thread for each division, in which each owner makes a post to pimp their team, their system, their desired style of play, all that good stuff, would be a good way to start.  Then the other 28 owners in the league vote on the division champion at the end of the season.  After the division voting is done, the two best 2nd place vote-getters are the wild card, then we set up the playoff matchups and play that out via either a public vote on the forums, or a secret vote of every owner not in that matchup.

Why would it be?
 

I think that's a great idea; we could probably use the top vote getters from each division as Wild Card teams.

 
I wonder if it would be easiest to have 8 playoff teams in each conference. That way instead of a trying to decide between four playoff teams for two wildcard spots we can just take the best two teams from each division.
 

Love this idea.  (Just like I did when I suggested it 9 months ago today.)    

 
I award you one bonus PFF point!

[Eck'sSneakyCheese]

I'd like to go over what we're doing as far as roster reconstruction goes. Now that we've been through a season, I'm partial to having to drop 5 players from my current roster then head back to the draft. I know there was some talk of being able to pick at least 2 players from someones team but what if a few teams don't get any players picked? Won't that make the rosters uneven? 
 
Also thanks to Danooo for doing those charts.
 
Are we going to put together a poll for each division? Or maybe each conference?

 

[soxfan121]

If someone wants to JUDICIOUSLY loan me their PFF password, I'll do up some charts like DanooooME did above. I got the time*, I just don't have the PFF access. 
 
* I work from home during the day and have an infant, so it ain't gonna happen fast but it would happen soon. I also work nights not at home and have an infant who is teething, so it ain't happening tomorrow. 
 
OH...and I'll need to official Tom Brady Multiplier. You know, all other QBs are worth X and Brady is worth X+Y. TIA.

I don't think it's that simple. There are also special teams ratings that have to get factored in. Or not IDC, but either way it has to be one way or the other across the board.

That's the postseason - a lot of the screens show just regular-season stats but the player screens include the postseason, too.

 
I'm a moron. We still have to know that the numbers are coming from the same place. Like Logan Mankins played G and T this year and has PFF scores at both positions. That won't be reflected on the positional page, but will on the team and player page.

Thanks DoDM. That's awesome.

Geez. My running backs are fucking AWFUL.
 
Guess we are a passing team.

My LBs were a bit of a disaster. Same with my OL outside of Vasquez who was a steal.
 
McCoy was definitely my best pick, though. Happy to have him around. What a monster.

6 great front 7 players on defense, but no clear scheme due to the missing 7th. Shockingly strong secondary given how late we started picking players back there, but even still, it's mostly just "average" guys with a couple higher performers. It's not exactly the Seahawks back there. Offense...devastated by injuries. Hobbled RGIII, Vereen missed most of the year, Harvin missed almost all year, Sam Baker out for the season, no center, disastrously bad wide receivers. The defense might keep things close at first, but that team just wouldn't put points on the board. That's a bottom 10 team if I had to guess.

That said, give that team a full season of healthy Harvin and Vereen, and get RGIII looking like his rookie self? That I'd still like to see.
