RuskieTitan Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Which brings me to a more generalized question: How does everyone evaluate players in the matchups? Are folks going with a "how are you doing this season?" approach, or a "How'd you look last week?" Are some using the last month (4 games) as the cutoff? Just curious how everyone else is viewing it.

Picking and choosing a subjective time frame for the last X number of weeks seems to be more in line with fitting your narrative than it does on how we should view him as a player. https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/pro-nfl-2017-pff-mid-season-all-pro-team DeCastro, Martin, Bitonio all getting major props for pass blocking. Is it? It's about how he is playing now not how he was playing weeks ago. I was quoting PFF. You can focus on how players played weeks ago if that's what you are into. I'll focus on current performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Career weeks buddy boy. I'm assuming you are calling Brown a scrub? He isn't a scrub. Edited November 16, 2017 by Counselor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoundrel Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I focus mainly on game plans. If your game plan is trash you get no love from me. Unless you clearly have a way more dominant team and the opponent had a just okay gameplan. I reward genius. If I haven't awarded you a vote yet it's because you aren't worthy.

So an amazing gameplan with a roster full of spot role players would get your vote over an entire All-Pro roster with a poor gameplan? Interesting. I haven't tracked whether you awarded me a vote or not because I don't care whether you did or not. I'm just genuinely curious to get more of a feel for the league in terms of how different folks make their evaluations, since I've only been here for two weeks and that's all the time that I've followed so far.

I generally go by how they've been performing during the season a whole. If they're on a hot streak and the owner takes advantage of that in the gameplan I'll weigh that too. Some people don't. "QB 'X' had a bad week IRL, can't see them pulling out this win". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends who the players are. If you didn't put in effort and you just think your all pro roster is going to win without describing anything then your team isn't well coached. Any Given Sunday. And I wasn't taking about you I was talking about how I award votes to any and everyone. Edited November 16, 2017 by Counselor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WFLukic Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 If we wanted to use a 3 down, would it count towards next offseasons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it's some kind of blend of that for everyone. The ultimate question, obviously, is "how would these players play if this game were to actually be played?" To figure that out I first look at their performance during the current week and give a weight to it based on how well that player has been playing. Then, after I have an idea of how good/bad I'm going to rate a player for each week, I read through the gameplans and make adjustments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WFLukic Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 It matters for which season we consider it though, because if it's still the prior year then all 3 have been used but if we've restarted the year for 3Downs then it would be fine now and I just won't have it in the offseason.
