    the whole "drc being one of the worst tackling cornerbacks last year" came from football outsiders' advanced stats...

    defensive MLB sabermetrics I'd agree with. certainly not offensive. MLB offensive stats are tangible. most NFL stats that joyner writes about are arbitrary

    huh?

    always thought defensive sabermetric stats were a "work in progress." :?

    ..

    they are. because there is no tangible data to extrapolate. stats like UZR and the like are based more on opinions than hard data. joyner's stupid articles are based on similar premise.

    the way you worded that post was confusing to me for some reason.

    yeah some of that stuff is arbitrary. some of it's not. football outsiders, don't believe joyner is associated with them, is always an interesting read.

    either way, i think joyner and the other guy are right on point with this trade. seems to be the majority of opinion. time will tell though. looking forward to the cards game at the linc this year. :mrgreen:

    Not much left to choose from? I think young has a huge upside. The dude is a bit mental, but can get it done under some circumstances. Also, he has something to prove and it's almost certain that Vick will get hurt at some point. Good move by the Birds to get a solid backup qb, I must say... :roll: :D

    I like the Cowboys chances this year :mrgreen:

    Young smartly wants to go through the Andy Reid quarterback car wash, where guys like Kevin Kolb and A.J. Feeley come out looking brand new.

    Love that quote!

    you're might be right. i've always liked vince young. it's never pretty with him, but he always finds a way to win. i soured on him last year for obvious reasons though.

    Good move on the Kolb trade/Young signing. I've always liked Young. His confidence at Texas was through the roof and I thought that would carry over to the NFL especially after he that crazy season a couple of years ago. Maybe the change of scenery will do him good.

    So, McNabb gets you a 6th round pick and Kolb gets you Rodgers-Cromartie.

    And a second round pick in the 2012 draft.

    Talk about a steal! Trading an unproven back-up for a second rounder and a pro-bowler. SCOOP!
    I knew it all along, see?

    Reid already has a Super Bowl ring. Granted, it was from when he was an assistant coach in Green Bay, but, yeah, tough to deny the guy's track record.
