Jesus, guys.  I know our fanbase has a tiny collective penis, but c'mon.

The article isn't bad at all.  It's actually pretty interesting and reasonable.

It would be more interesting if you got more points in football for scoring from far away (like a 3 pointer).  I wonder how a FG would score using this stat?  You pretty much have to completely ignore the "first down" to give this stat any value.

Seriously, it's would be reasonable and interesting if it was an article about fantasy football (where you get more points for long TDs).

Totally reasonable.  Except the part where the author claimed that DT is the 18th best RB in the Big 12.

Shouldn't you be talking about something you actually know something about?  Like POS indy music in Michigan?  Certainly not football.  Maybe you can head over to the b-ball board so you and Sys can have a nice little nut licking contest?   :dunno:

Surely you know this is not even an existing stat, right?!  I made a list of the top 12 RBs in the world according to BAedness and DT was #1.  In the world.

Well in his chart he has DT as the 18th.  Which I agree with you does not say that he thinks thomas is the 18th best RB. He also has this little section that says that it's surprising that DT is ranked that low.  Then he goes on and explains how it isn't surprising and SUPPORTS the fact that he is a complete moron.

Here.

"Thomas was also a bit inconsistent last season. Against a number of bad run defenses, he should have been expected to put up good numbers, but in terms of 'output versus expected,' the benefits he got from averaging 5.5 yards per carry against Oklahoma were offset by averaging 3.4 against Missouri and 3.8 against a terrible Iowa State run defense.

"Plus, he was indeed only average in terms of explosiveness (1.77 highlight yards/carry). He got good run blocking and took advantage of it, but he didn't do a ton on his own."

Probably the biggest surprise of this list. It's worth noting that Kansas State had an above average offensive line in 2009 (more on this in a later blog) and that Thomas had 11 TDs in 246 carries."

I personally like the part about the never misleading stat highlight yards/carry.

Someone please tell me how a 1st round NFL draft pick is 18th at his position on any list.  GMAFB.  Sad.

Well, it's a made-up stat that means absolutely nothing.  But it does make that guy a huge f A g.

Hey.  Jackass.  That's the guy that created the statistic, not the author.  Read.

This guy has him as the #4 RB in the 2011 draft.

http://www.sportingnews.com/college-football/article/2010-07-21/2011-draft-watch-heisman-winner-mark-ingram-only-sure-bet-class

This guy has him as the first senior back drafted and a late first round possibility.

http://www.nfldraftbible.com/NFL-Insider-Insider-info/2011-nfl-draft-watch-44-daniel-thomas.html.

Mel Kiper had previously listed him as the top RB, but moved him down to #3 a little while ago. 

http://www.mockingthedraft.com/2010/5/5/1459770/mel-kiper-modifies-2011-draft


DT seems pretty damn good to me.  How many first rounds picks has K-State had in the last 20 years?  Or even early second round picks?  Also, these rankings are based on only one season of work, if he has another strong year he may well move up in the rankings...

Refresh my memory....what ever happened with DT's shoulder?? He have surgery?
shoulder hernia, healed itself supposedly.
