I hope one day somebody tracks CB's and WR's on a game to game schedule so it shows us YPG allowed and QB rating when throwing to that CB. Right now all we've got to go off of is stats which isn't even 50% of the CB's abilities.

I just wish we knew how many times we were targeted. That alone would help a lot when evaluating DBs, imo

But yeah, there's a lot more going on. A cornerback who has a lot of tackles could be really good at covering for his teammates, or just really bad at preventing catches. Or both. There's no way to know by just looking at raw numbers.

Great shit.  I like the "tank baton" concept.  I'd seen the belt idea before, though.

Thanks. Came to me as I was writing the article, haha. The baton pass analogy came, then I remembered the lineal belt concept and thought "hmm..."

Worked out better than I thought it would, tbh. Might try and keep track of both from now on, maybe get some more stats around them. Depends if I have time. Before I do any of that, I need to finish my player bio for SHL to get that sweet, sweet first article money.
