[OC] Advanced HOF Metric: The Most Eligible All-Time QBs

Introduction

I decided to explore the best remaining QB HOF candidates in history with a more advanced metric. Out of the 1037 promising historical and modern QBs tracked by PFR, I have researched 121 when comprising the metric. I ended up becoming a bit burnt out after the first 100, so forgive me if some historical QBs you are interested in were not included.

PFR Methodology

This is the PFR methodology. I believe it needs tuning for eras when several All Decade QBs are being thrashed by Philip Rivers. In my opinion, the accolade and evaluation and metrics could use revising and increased depth.

Β· First Team All Decade = 25

Β· Second Team All Decade = 10

Β· All Decade (No Designation) = 17.5

Β· Most Valuable Player (MVP) = 12.5

Β· First Team All Pro (AP1) = 2.5

Β· Championship Wins = 2.5

Β· Pro Bowl (PB) = 1.5

Β· SB (SB) Losses = 1.25

Β· (Weighted Approximate Value) * 0.5

Β· (Yds over 40,000 if 1980 or later) * (0.00075)

Β· (TDs over 250 if 1980 or later) * (0.0075)

Β· (Yds over 25,000 if 1979 or before) * (0.00075)

Β· (TDs over 175 if 1979 or before) * (0.0075)

Β· Subtract 7.5 points if championships = 0

My Methodology

While accolades bonuses are adjusted, the primary improvement regards rewarding players for their major and minor record positions at the time of their retirement. Minor records and metrics receive 0.25x the points of major counterparts, notated in parenthesis.

Β· Anniversary Team = 20

Β· First Team All Decade = 20

Β· All Decade (No Designation) = 17

Β· Second Team All Decade = 14

Β· Most Valuable Player (MVP) = 10

Β· Retiring #1 in a Major Record = 10 (2.5)

Β· Offensive Player of the Year (OPOY) = 10

Β· First Team All Pro (AP1) = 9

Β· Retiring #2-3 in a Major Record = 7 (1.75)

Β· Championship Win as Starting QB = 7

Β· Second Team All Pro (AP2) = 6

Β· Championship MVP = 5

Β· Retiring #4-5 in a Major Record = 5 (1.25)

Β· Championship Appearance as Starting QB = 5

Β· β€œUnanimous” Major Accolade Bonus = 5

Β· Retiring #6-10 in a Major Record = 4 (1)

Β· Pro Bowl (PB) = 2.5

Β· Comeback Player of the Year (CPOY) = 2

Β· Leading League in Major Metric = 2 (0.5)

Β· Retiring #11-15 in a Major Record = 1 (0.25)

Major Records

I wish the amazing EPA/play went super far back, but historically prestigious leaderboard placements are perhaps more fitting for HOF voter perspectives. Their placements are determined at the time of their retirement.

Β· Career Passing Yds

Β· Season Passing Yds

Β· Career Passing TDs

Β· Seas

Dems worry climate change, social programs will be left out of bipartisan infrastructure bill

Just a quick update on attempts to actually pass meaningful legislation in the Senate.

  • HOW TO SUPPORT: I know we are all facing unprecedented financial hardships right now. If you are in the position to support my work, I have a patreon, venmo, and a paypal set up. No pressure though, I will keep posting these pieces publicly no matter what - paywalls suck.

  • NOTIFICATIONS: You can signup to receive a once-weekly email with links to my posts.



##Infrastructure

UPDATE: "White House is giving senate gang a week to 10 days to strike a deal with them on infrastructure, counselor Riccetti told House Dems this morning." Tweet.

A bipartisan group of 10 senators is trying their hand at reaching a deal on an infrastructure package after negotiations between President Biden and Sen. Shelly Capito (R-WV) failed. Details about the latest attempt, led by Sens. Krysten Sinema (D-AZ) and Rob Portman (R-OH), have been sparse. It reportedly accounts for $1.25 trillion spent over eight years, about half of which is new spending. Still, it falls far short of the $2.2 trillion plan the White House put forward and includes no new tax increases, sparking concerns that Biden will not sign on.

Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), a member of the bipartisan group, told β€œFace the Nation” Sunday that the package is paid for, in part, by repurposing unused COVID-19 relief funds and by taxing electric cars (clip). The failure to undo the Republicans’ 2017 tax reduction and focus on taxing electric cars, without a gas tax increase, is likely to create problems with some Democrats.

>β€œI’m very impatient,” said Schumer’s top lieutenant, Sen. Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.), before the chamber adjourned last week. With the calendar quickly evaporating β€” and, by Durbin’s count, only six scheduled workweeks between now and September β€” the party’s chief vote-counter said Democrats could not afford to stomach much more delay.

CMV: There isn't really an excuse to not be vegan. Please feel free to comment why you aren't vegan, and I will respond with everything I got

10 Reasons To Go Vegan

β€œTo get mud off your hands, use soap and water. To get blood off your hands, go vegan.” -John Sakars

Vegans are like adults. At first, you hate them, then you become one and realize they were right all along. Veganism is a way to drastically reduce suffering for humans and animals, as well as your impact on the environment, and your risk of developing serious ailments. β€œThere is no fundamental difference between man and animals in their ability to feel pleasure and pain, happiness, and misery.” -Charles Darwin. Veganism is one of the most effective ways to help combat animal cruelty. Refusing to pay for animal products lowers demand, reducing the number of animals being bred to suffer and die on farms and in slaughterhouses. Here are ten of the many reasons to go vegan.

  1. Health

β€œPeople eat meat and think they will become as strong as an ox, forgetting that the ox eats grass.” -Pino Caruso

Going vegan lowers the risk of chronic diseases and illnesses such as cardiovascular disease, multiple cancers, dementia, osteoporosis, diabetes, and high blood pressure, to name a few. Veganism is the only known diet that can fully cure β€œirreversible” conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease. Vegans who follow a wholefoods plant-based diet also tend to live longer, 9.5 years longer for women and 6.1 for men.

  1. Water Use

β€œWe are, quite literally, gambling with the future of our planet- for the sake of hamburgers.” -Peter Singer

A pound of beef needs 1,799 gallons of water, 576 gallons for a single pound of pork, 518 gallons for a single pound of chicken, 628 litres for one litre of milk, and 53 gallons for a single egg. That's a significant amount of water. It's no surprise that we have so many droughts! Not to mention the fact that 790 million people do not have access to clean water if they have any at all.

  1. Resource use

β€œBasically we should stop doing those things that are destructive to the environment, other creatures, and ourselves and figure out new ways of existing.”-Moby Although 10.6% of the population is malnourished, more than half of our food is fed to farmed animals. People from Africa, for example, import grain rather than use it for food, and receive only small amounts of money or meat in exchange. Global hunger would be eradicated if we stopped breeding 80 billion animals into life.

  1. Land Use

Jumbo Compilation of Benford’s Law Tests on GameStop Prices Showing Strong Likelihood of Manipulation

Update: Following my responses to criticism and kind advice, I am adding this update to make clear that this "Jumbo" version is the valid version and the original first post is now invalid - except for the Counter to the Counter DD.

"Counter to Counter DD" still stands - it is not part of the original post. It shows that at least at the theoretical level, there is no reason why BL can't be applied to stock prices and no literature was found - so far - which shows that BL does not apply to stock prices.

Critics have raised other questions beyond the theoretical level which I never intended to address when I wrote the original post. I am not a data scientist. It was never my intention to offend data scientists or to challenge data science. Any expert and valid criticisms must be answered if the basis established in the "Jumbo" post is extended to the highest level of rigour, worthy of publication in an academic journal.

Someone assumed I am a "professional researcher". I am not. In that non-professional capacity, I tried my best to respond to the criticism. I learned a lot which I never would have on my own, if I hadn't published the post. From the standpoint of a hobby, non-professional project, I think it is cool that Fiskars conforms. I don't have lots of time for this but have since found two other conforming stocks quite easily. I may or may not continue this hobby project in private. I personally think it is solid "DD" on that basis and on par with other "DD" which tackle questions about securities law or the functioning of the capital markets on a non-professional basis. But maybe this particular DD/non-DD is different from the usual and the implications are too serious. That's also fine. I leave it to the mods, sorry for making a job for you!

Introduction

For a while now, apes have been saying that the prices of GME look very sus, e.g. closing at perfectly round numbers and weird movements intraday. So I wondered what the Benford’s Law test would show if applied to the daily closing prices of GameStop. These days, Benford’s Law is most often used in forensic accounting, e.g. it is used by the IRS to investigate tax fraud and is used a ton by academics to investigate collusion and financial crime in asset prices, fund returns, the LIBOR manipulation, etc. It is not hard evidence of fraud but if a set of numbers deviates significantly from Benford’s Law that is a serious Red Flag 🚩. So in that sense it is a good screenin

[PROGRAM REVIEW] Building The Monolith: MythicalStrength Remix

INTRO

As part of my participation in my own 6 month training block for hypertrophy comprised of 5/3/1 BBB Beefcake, 5/3/1 Building the Monolith and Deep Water Beginner and Intermediate, I found myself once again accomplishing one of the most brutal programs I’d ever run: Building the Monolith. I’ve done an extensive write up of my experience the first time I ran this, but for summary: it’s the first program that ever made me want to quit. On day 1 of the first week, after it was all said and done, and I spent about 15 minutes in the shower staring at my feet wondering what I had gotten myself in to. This time, I came in prepared, having a much better idea of what was in store for me, and, in turn, how I wanted to do things this time around. I am going to detail the various modifications I’ve made along with my experiences and the outcome.

NUTRITION

When I originally ran the program, I did my best to abide by the rules of β€œa dozen eggs and 1.5lbs of ground beef a day”. I ended up more along the lines of 8-12 eggs a day and 2-2.5lbs of meat a day (not necessarily ground beef, but sometimes steak, ribs, chops, roast, etc). Eating that way, I put on 4.5lbs in 6 weeks, didn’t accumulate any noticeable bodyfat, and was well recovered for every workout. I knew it worked…and, in turn, had no real need to prove it again. Instead, I stuck with what I had been doing for BBB Beefcake and what I intend to do for Deep Water: my β€œDeep Mountain” approach to eating. Effectively using Jon Andersen’s Deep Water as the frame work, but also abiding by John Meadows β€œMountain Dog Diet” principles regarding nutrition sources. In addition, I’d allow myself some things that weren’t Deep Water approved but WERE Mountain Dog approved (specifically organic wild blueberries and dark chocolate).

As a shift worker, my nutrition could get a little wild. This is what a day of working the early shift looked like the morning that I pushed the prowler for training.

  • 0315: Wake up, eat 2 whole organic free range eggs/1 egg white (eyeballed) mixed with 2.25oz of grassfed organic New York strip steak, half an avocado, some grassfed butter and grassfed organic sour cream and fat free cheese, along with a keto waffle slathered with a heaping serving of organic sunbutter (no sugar added) and sugar free apricot preserves. 1 cup of cashew milk.

If you feel it's appropriate to share NSFW jokes with your kids, that's on you. But a real, true dad joke should work for anyone's kid.

Predictions of SafeMoon

SAFEMOON, Where are we going?

THIS IS NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE AND PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE INVESTING AND STRICTLY MY OWN OPINION

PLEASE TAKE NOTE, NUMBERS ARE GENERALIZED AND ROUNDED BUT CAN CHANGE BASED ON CIRCUMSTANCES.

Some of you may know me from Voice General Limited on the Discord going by the name of CatsRus, I have been in crypto since 2015 and have made a portfolio of well over $500,000 and know that the conversations we have are very extensive in the whole predictions of where Safemoon is going and where it will be in the next 5 years. Now after watching the AMA on Sunday (16/05/2021) a lot of our theories that we have predicted are absolutely 100% accurate, which is why I looking to put this piece together to share not just my thoughts but the thoughts that Me, Rawwry, Duro, Phantom, and Kingx12 have all put together.

Now I want to start by taking a look at how Crypto has grown over the last 12 months and where Crypto is going to be in the next 12, 24, and 36 months. Now I am going to average numbers out for the sake of my mentality, now 12 months ago Crypto was around $250,000,000,000 and has grown from 700% to 900% depending on the time of reading this. It is insane to think that over $2 Trillion has been put in Crypto in just 12 months. So if we look to apply the same growth of $2.5 Trillion at an increase of a minimum of 500% that puts crypto around the $10 - $12 Trillion mark, but as time goes on we hit a diminishing return on how much money can be placed into crypto taking in to account the global cash amount of in and around $40 Trillion we are going to plateau at around $15 Trillion in the next 24/36 months until Crypto is massively adapted in the current society which is going to easily take 10+ years but is going to be massively relying on other projects like XRP and Cardano alongside Safemoon, which I will move on to shortly.

Coming to the AMA on Sunday (16/05/2021) we received a lot of information:

Overview during the last 7 days:

- 200,000 new holders

- Broke 2 million holders on Pancakeswap in 69 days [noice]

Essential Superman Reading List for Beginners

Superman is IMHO the greatest Superhero ever created. He's the archetype for a true do-gooder, who has a heart of gold and is always willing to lend a hand. However, a lot of fans find it difficult to navigate his comics history. Be it the ever-confusing continuity, or the sheer volume of content out there, it can be a daunting task to approach such a celebrated character from his home in the pages. So here we have my personal roadmap for exploring his rich comics history.

The way I always approach reading new characters is to first read as many limited series/mini-series of theirs, as these always have the freedom to focus on characterization while being unfettered by continuity. After that, jump into iconic runs chronologically. So let's begin with some Classic superman tales.

  1. Superman: Birthright by Mark Waid. Classic origin tale.
  2. Man and Superman by Marv Wolfman: What Man of Steel should have been. The movie isn't bad, but could have explored Clark more than just the world reacting to him and him reacting to the world reacting to him.
  3. Superman For all Seasons by Jeph Loeb. One of my personal favs. Absolutely heartwarming, ultimate feel-good comic imo.
  4. Superman Kryptonite by Darwyn Cooke. Fascinating deconstruction of his greatest weakness. the rest of his Superman: Confidential run is also a great read.
  5. Adventures of Superman (2014-2015): Anthology series of superman, varying degrees of quality, but useful to get a grasp on the character.
  6. Superman Red & Blue #3: Another Anthology series. the first three issues were...not exactly good...but the fourth one knocks it out of the park.
  7. Superman: Up in the Sky by Tom King. Tom King kills it here. Brilliant characterization and showcases the lengths Superman would go to to save a life, and not in the murderey kinda way.
  8. Superman: Unchained by Scott Snyder & Jim Lee. Written during new 52, but I'm pretty sure it's not in continuity. Scott Snyder and Jim Lee. Nuff said.

After this, some great stories with out-of-canon and alternate takes on the character.

  1. All-Star Superman by Grant Morrison: The Grand-daddy of superman stories, an incredible deconstruction of what makes Superman great and one of the best comics ever written.
  2. Superman: American Alien by Max Landis. 7 different genres and perspectives on the origin of superman. Brilliantly written and although it's wildly out of continuity, it's a won

Batman: Arkham Knight was SO GOOD

Forgive me as I heap praise upon Batman: Arkham Knight (2015), it's not like me to gush about games, but gush I shall.

I just got around to playing it this month, and it really amazed me how damn good it was from start to finish. I had enjoyed Arkham Asylum and Arkham City when they came out, so I expected to enjoy Arkham Knight as well, but I feel like it's on a different level in terms of being so high quality, dare I say a 10/10 game.

It's hard to find many faults in it, it's a lot of fun to play, the story is great, the voice acting is great, the graphics are nice. It's quite big in terms of scale, many many areas to explore around Arkham City, and there's a huge amount of different things/missions/quests to do, which can be overwhelming when first starting out. All in all I ended up with 44 hours into the game, and very much enjoyed every minute. Granted, I fully completed the game (120%) and collected all the Riddler Trophies (of which there are 270 or something) which took a long time on it's own, but even skipping the daunting amount of Riddler stuff, it would be a 25+ hour game, I think. I am usually not a completionist, but with this Batman trilogy I found it to be fun to 100% complete the games and all the little side missions and Riddler trophies, because they put a lot of effort into them and they are engaging and actually fun to do, as opposed to feeling like a chore, which some games are with that kind of side/collectable stuff. Of course I consulted Youtube many times for certain riddler puzzles/riddles/trophy locations, but that's to be expected πŸ˜‰

The way they implemented The Joker was ingenious and super cool. With The Joker played perfectly as always by Mark Hamill. John Noble was also great as Scarecrow, so much great voice acting.

The reason I just got around to this game is mainly because I just bought an new computer early this year. Knowing this game was released in 2015, I can't imagine many computers then could run it properly at that time. I had no slowdowns or anything, but it's not an easy game to run by any means, so I'm sure that limited a lot of people from playing it early on, but hopefully people will start to get around to it like I did and see how good it is for themselves. Of course not everyone will enjoy it as much as I did, but I think most people will like it a lot. I'm not a comic-book guy at all, so my praise doesn't come from that angle at all, just a life-long gamer.

I think Charlie is very unlucky with the choices he often has to make

When I see, and feel, the frustration that comes with another close loss for the Toronto Blue Jays, I keep coming back to a sentiment that Andrew Stoeten mentioned on a recent episode of the wonderful Blue Jays Happy Hour Podcast he records with Nick Ashbourne. Stoeten mentioned in one of the recent episodes that Blue Jays fans were not that enamored with manager John Gibbons’ cranky charm until the players he was working with got good. Good enough to match the growing expectations fans had after the Marlines trade and the acquisition of R.A. Dickey. This makes sense because in a lot of ways in the current era of Major League Baseball the manager is a reflection of the thinking of the front office, but also no matter what the strategy the manager employs, in the end it is up to the players to execute it. Now it still matters what strategies the manager turns to. Turning our attention to current Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo, his penchant for bunting and gripes with his lineups last year and at the beginning of this year, where Vladimir Guerrero Jr. batted fifth on opening day, are reasonable. However, the Jays offence has begun to click into gear around Vlad and the need for small ball tactics like bunting has been reduced. The bottom of the order is still occasionally a slog, but this is more down to who is available to play in those spots than anything the manager can consistently do to turn light bats into scary ones. Even that concern will probably be reduced in a week(?) when the Blue Jays will hopefully be able to trot out something like this (assuming health and a more conservative approach to rejigging the lineup with pandemic mirage or possible weekend Florida Man siting George Springer’s return) 1. Springer 2. Semien 3. VLAD 4. Hernandez 5. Bichette 6. Grichuck 7. Gurriel 8. Biggio 9. A. Catcher. Here we can begin to see how the front office may have built Montoyo a line up that limits the need for much strategizing beyond setting the lineup card and alleviates much of the concern with the manager on the offensive side. At this point the same can not be said about the bullpen, which is one of the areas managers still shoulder a great deal of the blame, regardless of how medical staffs and the front office may advise on the bullpen as well. In fact, the bullpen may be the main reason that prognostications of the Blue Jays making their non-expanded playoff return may be a year too early, just as they were in 2014. I wanted to see how the bullpe

Don Quixote: does it get better, or am I perhaps missing something?

I recently started reading Don Quixote for the first time on a recommendation from my local library, who said that it was "widely considered one of the funniest and also most tragic books ever written." So I found a copy of it from Project Gutenberg - if it matters, it is the John Ormsby translation - and I'm currently on chapter XVII and wondering if I'm perhaps missing something about this book, because I really, really do not see the humour in it. I just read the part where he killed seven sheep because he thought he was participating in a war between two great armies - is there supposed to be something funny about that, or about any of the other scenes where people get injured or worse because of Don's actions? So far, the overwhelming impression I get is that Don is very mentally ill and has no grasp at all on reality, and he has been causing a lot of harm wherever he has gone, and I find very little of it funny.

Possibly relevant here is the fact that I haven't read a whole lot of "classics" so far - most of my reading has been genre fiction (e.g. Stephen King, Douglas Adams, H.P. Lovecraft, and when I was younger a crap ton of Star Wars and science fiction books), and I've only recently started reading more widely regarded books. The other books that came with the librarian's recommendation were "Frankenstein" (which I loved, especially the way the monster was actually depicted as intelligent and not just the pop culture version of a moaning green guy with bolts on his neck), "Middlemarch" (which took me a while to get through but is quite possibly the best written book I have ever read), "Infinite Jest" (which I found enjoyable but quite confusing, and which I plan to reread in the near future), and "Fahrenheit 451" (which I thought was incredible). Based on that track record, I figured I would love "Don Quixote", but now I find myself writing a Reddit post asking what I'm missing about it instead of actually reading it.

So - AM I missing something about it that would help me enjoy it better? Does it get better in the approximately 1400 pages still to go (this is according to Google Books - right now I'm on page 233 of 1669)? Would I perhaps find another translation of the book more enjoyable? I'd really like to enjoy this book, but right now the thought of sticking it out just seems rather daunting, and I never like to think of books that way.

Thank you!

There will likely be 4 or more QBs drafted in the first round of this year's draft. That has happened 10 times before. Which first round draft class will this year's QB be most like?

It seems very likely that 4 or more QBs will be taken in the first round of the draft this year. There have been 10 other instances of 4 or more QBs being taken in the first round.

The previous draft classes:

1959:

  1. Randy Duncan (Packers, 1st overall)

  2. Don Allard (Redskins, 4th overall)

  3. Dave Baker (49ers, 5th overall)

  4. Lees Grosscup (Giants, 10th overall)

This class is only on here as a technicality. The best of the bunch was Dave Baker, who ended up being a pro bowl safety for the 49ers. None of Duncan, Allard, or Grosscup's careers amounted to much, with them bouncing between the NFL, AFL, and Canadian football. (Fun fact, Duncan actually opted to not play for Green Bay at all, instead playing in Canada.)

1983:

  1. John Elway (Colts but really Broncos, 1st overall)

  2. Todd Blackledge (Chiefs, 7th overall)

  3. Jim Kelly (Bills, 14th overall)

  4. Tony Eason (Patriots, 15th overall)

  5. Ken O'Brien (Jets, 24th overall)

  6. Dan Marino (Dolphins, 27th overall)

This QB class is the GOAT QB class, boasting 3 hall of famers in Elway, Kelly, and Marino (though only Elway would ending up winning the Superbowl). Of the other 3, O'Brien seemed like a pretty good QB, making the pro bowl and having some single game records that stood for awhile. Eason seemed like mostly a bust, but he did start a couple season, and Blackledge was a career back up. (LMAO at the Chiefs for passing up on both Kelley and Marino.)

1987:

  1. Vinny Testaverde (Buccaneers, 1st overall)

  2. Kelly Stouffer (Cardinals, 6th overall)

  3. Chris Miller (Falcons, 13th overall)

  4. Jim Harbaugh (Bears, 26th overall)

Kind of a meh class here. Harbaugh and Testaverde bounced around the league a bit, both having some pretty good seasons at some of the places they played and made the pro bowl. Miller seemed like a decent QB for the Falcons, with one pro bowl season. Stouffer famously refused to sign with the Cardinals and spent most of his career as a back up in Seattle.

1999:

  1. Tim Couch (Browns, 1st overall)

  2. Donovan McNabb (Eagles, 2nd overall)

  3. Akili Smith (Bengals, 3rd overall)

  4. Daunte Culpepper (Vikings, 11th overall)

  5. Cade McNown (Bears, 12th overalls)

McNabb ended up being the best of this class, being an arguably great but at least pretty good QB. Culpepper had some pretty good seasons but bounced around the league a bunch in the second half of his career. Couch showed potenti
