Why do so many people base their position list rankings off of stats? Stupid fantasy football has ruined the way the majority of people look at football and players. Think about it for a WR. A WR's stats, ya know catching a pass, involve a number of things that the WR has NO CONTROL over. The WR could run a perfect route and abuse the CB coverage but when he turns or looks for the ball see that the QB was sacked. OR The WR could slip and fall on his but in the endzone but get a lucky TD catch off of a crazy deflection or something like that. You see the play that results in no stats is a better INDIVIDUAL play than the TD play. Thats why judging players based solely on stats can be misleading. If 2 guys have similar stats, I always give the edge to the one who is more talented. Athleticism, route running, leaping, blocking etc. The stuff that contributes to the stats. In the end the best way to judge players, IMO, is you first have to know the game of football. That is the most important thing, then you just have to use your eyes. Watch games, watch the players and base your opinion off their play, not a box score or fantasy football. Thats stupid... because I play FF....

Yes and I have played FF before too, I'm actually usually pretty good at it. Not playing this season though...
The thing is that most people, for whatever reason, cannot differentiate between how good a player is in fantasy football and how good the player is in REAL football. Lots of people think ff rankings are automatically rankings in real football. This is especially true for non-QBs.
2 very different things.

If we are talking FF and real football as the same thing than I would say Nicks, Green AND Julio are all in the top 5 and Big Ben isn't even in the top 10

But FF stats and rankings are not real football. Thats basically what I'm talking about. lol. Ranking a player SOLELY on their stats and FF value is stupid.
Big Ben not top 10... You just got -111 for that one LAFF

I was thinking he meant the opposite.

But he is probably somewhere around #10. My friend told me ESPN magazine had him at #12 QB.
