Ranking the NFL teams triplets the Best QB, RB, and reciever each team has

[jarntt]

No one's bothered by the i before e except after c rule? The whole thread has been rendered meaningless.

Doesn't one use of the word "extrapolate" nullify all of those ??? Kind of like a get out of jail free card???

Steelers are the best now, were the best before the year and will be the best next year. Apparently some confuse stats alone with talent. Talent + opportunity + luck = stats...or some shit like that. Regardless the Steelers trio is the best by A LOT

Using an average is not even a fair assessment. A qb contributes way more yardage than a wr or rb so you also need to weight it. The best way to do it would be to divide each players contribution to a per game basis than add them together.

I considered that but there are too many variables if I start doing that. Then you need to look at what defenses the teams were playing when the game was missed, how the teams performed without them in those games and try to extrapolate assumed stats etc. Then there's the games where guys missed the majority of the games but still started. As an example Jones missed all but one series at New Orleans and the entire game vs LA and SF. In those games the Falcons scored an average of 43 ppg so the assumption is Jones stats would be significantly better in those games than his average game. If I start weighting data then it becomes a guess and a guess isn't a fact. While I understand what you're saying it becomes to hypothetical

Being the best group of triplets doesn't mean you had the best year. Adrian Peterson is a better back than Ezekiel Elliott but he didn't have the better year. Dez Bryant is a better receiver than Mike Evans but he didn't have the better year. Pitt has the best trio for sure. They did not have the best year. I still fail to see why this is hard for people to grasp

yeah 72 yards and no TD's would have to agree

I concur.

You may want to start with the fact that your point has nothing to do with the thread topic. Maybe start a thread titled "Which group of triplets had the best statistical season".

My original post in this thread pertained to this season. That's been my sole argument and really all I've debated this entire thread. I haven't said at any point in my posts anything otherwise

Gotcha.

Well as far as this thread goes...it's Pittsburgh at #1 and it's not even close. Dallas has a very bright future.

I would say the Ravens are definitely in the top 35.

If Gronk was healthy would toss Brady,Gronk and Blount in mix but will have to say Pitt again seeing they have the best WR,RB in the game, IMO

Blount will never get into that conversation. he has proven that he is a system back.

Yikes i was with you except for the AP thing.

[warning, here rmilia and I go again] I don't think a 31 year old, twice seriously injured AP is currently better than Zeke. He has been better and I can only hope he has the career and abilities that AP had. But if you asked me on 1/11/2017 who is the better RB, who I'd rather have as a GM in a redraft I'm going to pick Zeke.

OK I'll accept that. It's a reasonable point. You get the point I'm making and that's all I care about

Sure but I'll take his league leading 18 tds this year, Thanks LeGarette . Throw in Bradys 28 tds in 12 games 46 Tds not bad which is only 3 behind the no# QB,RB tangent in NFL for 2016. Again I'm putting them against a Bell.Brown combo

Sure he does well in NE. But he won't get much love outside of NE because he's shown what he is. Plus I know some people, like me, still think he is trash for that sucker punch he threw in college.

Hey he was a kid when he punch that BSU kid. Your boy Dez has a past even worse, or Hardy before. I have less respect someone that hits his mon, wife or GF than punches an opposing player. Woody Hayes coach of Ohio St would do that all the time I thought when Murray left Dallas and performed like shit he was a product of Dallas' O-Line but he has performed well in Tenn. Sure Brady gets the ball inside the 5 yard line and feeds the guy like crazy. Sure if he was on another team TD's would be cut in half

 

[USCDoom]

Fair point and I agree. No arguments here because Ben is always banged up and Bell is always smokin the grass. Julio spends his fair share of time injured as well.

Still if I had 1 trio to choose for 1 game only against any opponent, I would take Pittsburgh in a heartbeat.

And I would agree with this 100%. Maybe it is the fact I coached for 10 years so am Biased towards kids I can trust on the field, been burned once to often with talent that for whatever reason misses games.

I meant not putting against Bell, Brown imo the 2 best at their position imo

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

My numbers are correct. Steelers missed 7 games, Dallas 4, Atlanta 2. Both teams had guys miss parts of games. If you factor in missed time the average per game still favors Atlanta by 14 yards. Easiest way to look at it is the Steelers guys played 13.67 games on average. Dallas 14.67. Atlanta 15.33. Just divide their yards by those games to get their average

Well according to my math ATL would still be 200yds shy of PIT.

Maybe if more people got popped in the Mouth there would be less taunting. I am not saying what he did was right, but in That situation to say he should have put his hands in his pocket and walk away is also wrong. I probably would have hit the guy too.

When a guy seeks you out for a bad reason, you cannot sucker punch them.

Changing both bolded 'is' to was is then a true statement. Agree 100% on the Pitt Trio.

Now, my Seattle team, QB Wilson is top 10, WR Baldwin is way better than most would rate him, so I'll say top 15, and RB is very strange in Seattle where when Rawls is on, it is top 10, but that has NOT been the regular case. So, Seattle, they have work to do on Offense. Atlanta has a much more polished Offense than Seattle.

Back to Pitt, Brown and Bell are fantastic. Probably one of the best WR/RB combo of all time. I didn't say the best, I said one of the best. Irvin/Smith ummmmm.....pretty good. Seattle is no where near that in ANY way.
