Here we go again:



For the most part i really like and respect Balzer but when it comes to this stuff he refuses to acknowledge how important market size is in these kinds of comparisons...

Wait, there's a difference between 10% of 2 million and 10% of 6 million? :D

Not only that, but St. Louis is sliding back in the back. I was looking similar lists and in 2017, they were just outside the top 20 at #21. 3 years later now and they're at #23.

I'm a bit torn on PJ and Jones. They have clearly looked the best of the 10 or so QB's who have played in the XFL but I don't know if that's because they actually look good or because athletic QB's have an advantage in this situation. Both would seem to be setting themselves up for an(other) opportunity in the NFL but I don't truly know if what they're doing in the XFL would translate to the NFL.

It's kind of like evaluating college QB's. Out-classing the competition there doesn't really mean anything in terms of NFL success. Usually. Sometimes(Vick) you can be just that much faster and it will even overcome the NFL.

Well now, you're not expecting the St Louis cronies to use actual facts are you?
Teams are averaging about 17k per game, sounds like a Rams home game in St Louis all right
