You're just fucking irritating and hopeless. I'm done engaging with you because you're a complete moron.

LOL Beef and Coop spent the entire off season arguing with each other, then after TC starts they team up and rip Phalcon Phil to shreds. Nicely done both of you!

Behold, the unifying power of football!

Beef knows his pigskin. He's just a little misinformed when it comes to politics is all.

Hah! I'm just like my boy Ronald Reagan... an actor, entertainer, who sometimes plays the fool, can sound quixotic at times but is really just being sneaky smart, and in the end, is found to be absolutely correct. By far this country's best and greatest president.

I was citing the pass rushing rating in the paid members section, which is derived by grading every snap a particular player takes in a given season. Using that formula, a player can get a positive grade even though he didn't record a sack, hit or pressure. Example: Peppers badly beats his man, but the QB has already dumped it to the RB before he can cause a disruption.

ok, so what you see as a paid member is different than the list i got by clicking the link....

That's correct.

Here are the individual PRP numbers (Not the overall pass rush rating, but the Pass Rush Productivity figure used in the article) posted by Peppers over the last three years, using the raw data from the paid member section:

2008: 7.07
2009: 6.56
2010: 6.34

And here are Edwards':

2008: 5.70
2009: 7.55
2010: 9.04

One of these players is clearly trending upwards, the other downwards. One is 26 years old, the other 31. One is guaranteed $11 million with a $2 million annual cap hit + salary, the other $42 million with a $7 million annual cap hit + salary.

Well played, TD. Well played.
