It bears promise for our future

I have taken note that six of the last seven teams to be able win the Super Bowl did so as a new starter at running back.

Only in year 2003 did no Super Bowl winner have a new running back as from the earlier year.

It is good? Yes?

Pretty interesting note.....

Yes, it is good. Clearly the key to winning a superbowl is a new running back.

Nice find and trend analysis, NAZAQUAD!

So if we had just stuck with JJ all year we'd have won last year?

Silly, doesn't count for rookies.

 

[Divide Et Impera]

I would be pleasured by that outcome....

Actually technically Shipp was a new starter last year since Emmitt started the year before.

Ah great..... mentioning Marcell Shipp is like sending up a signal flair for Kerowack9 to comment. Way to go

Most assuredly it has been.

1999 - Marshall Faulk (trade)
2000 - Jamal Lewis (draft)
2001 - Antwoin Smith (agency)
2002 - Micheal Pittman (agency)
2004 - Corey Dillon (trade)
2005 - Willie Parker (agency)

Willie Parker was drafted by the Steelers out of NC

I do not completely understand the mock draft as Willie Parker is listed as an undrafted free agent. I find no record of him being in the mock draft one or even two years ago.

He was an undrafted FA in 2004.

He was an undrafted FA in 2004.

Also in that undrafted FA class they got James Harrison, pretty crazy huh?

For this analysis I get praise. For others I get ridicule.

They are just the facts and they seldom don't lie. I know. I have the charts.

I think you should make this your sig:

Oh, it's true, it's damn true.

Dont confuse praise with sarcasm.

A slight nuance of the English laungage that we have mastered.

 

[dreamcastrocks]

Well, trading Fitzgerald is pretty much taboo around here. There is not a need so glaring that we would trade our #1 Pro-Bowl receiver.

You should have expected to get flamed for that.

Do you have a job? Do you work?

I guess it depends on how you use the word fact.

If you mean that these events did happen, then yes that is a fact.

Otherwise they are completely useless.

I have come to the conclusion that the only way to a super bowl is to not draft any 1st round WR's or 1st round QB's. Trade away our good WR's, and get a new starting RB every year.

No matter what the circumstances are.

i figure you don't realize that "they seldom don't lie" is like a hedging negative (rather than a double negative 'cuz "seldom" is not really a full blown negative). in other words what you've typed is that facts often lie. the opposite of what you wanted to say (I think).

I have not come to a conclusion to this speculation as of yet. I have studied rookie QB's and running backs changing teams and WR drafted high. I still have much to do on my list.

I expect that by Augusts end I will have a valid conclusion to draw as to our probability to win the Super Bowl. I still have many more models to analyze.

For now I draw no conclusions, just fodder for other fans to consume. It is what makes for good forum procedures.
