Dan Patrick says on @dpshow the #Bills have contacted #Browns about No. 1 pick in draft. Was reported over the weekend #Jets called before moving up to 3. John Dorsey said to call & teams are.

Which means they're not sold on any of these QB's either...

This sounds very familiar

out of every 100 faceoffs they lose 6 more than average

thats why its a useless stat because the league worst is barely different than average

Let me ask you this...

If the Bills trade up to 1 and take Allen what does your emotions feel?

My hand would most likely be broken from punching the wall

Only one quarterback has ever been successful with a 56% passer rating that is Matthew Stafford

That's basically a lottery ticket

That could get a GM fired in my opinion

i wonder what faceoff % it would take to actually make a noticeable difference

how many faceoffs won result in a goal (clean win that ends up in a goal without significant cycling, etc). lets assume 5% of faceoffs result directly in a goal without tons of noise between the faceoff and the goal.

the first result i see on google tells me theres ~60 faceoffs per game, so a 60% faceoff team is winning 6 more faceoffs than average per game.

so being a 60% faceoff team would result in .3 extra goals per game if these numbers are somewhat correct? ~1 extra goal every 3.3 games. I think thats decently significant.

Compared to carolina who leads the league at 53.8%, or 2.28 extra faceoffs won per game. Thats .114 goals per game added, 1 goal every 9 games? Prettttty much useless.

Id love to know the actual % of faceoffs that result in a goal directly. If its way higher than 5% that would make a big difference here.

I’d be shocked if it was even 5%.

There was an article I read a while ago that said you need to win 76.5 more faceoffs than you lose to create a 1 goal difference.

Over the course of a season it’s so minuscule

i started out with 2% but i think the number is going to jump significantly higher on the powerplay/penalty kill which might bring it up quite a lot

because a faceoff won in the defensive zone is also a potential goal prevented, which makes a difference too

That has to be a smoke screen there's no way he's going to take a guy that has a 56% passer rating and very little success rate in the NFL

This is just like that Ryan Nassib bs

Yeah, that's the road I was trying to type. I should've thought of typing "D1ck" ... Damn.

An upside-down "!" works too "¡" looks a lot like an "i" d¡ck. If you have a Mac it's alt-1. if it's windows it's some crazy combo, and you're on your own.
